Excellent tour - Michal gave a lovely and informative tour of the Jewish ghetto in Warsaw. You get a comprehensive overview of the layout and life of the ghetto, and what now stands on those grounds. Definitely recommend.

Jewish ghetto tour - Super nice trip with a very well-informed guide. Easy to understand and very interesting. The mass extinction which ended with a quote for reflection. If we don't use our voice in democracy and rise together, Auswitz can wonder at every corner.

Astoundingly Impactful - This tour is conducted very well: thoroughly and with care. Very informative stops on the tour, packed with so much history yet explained in an appropriate, digestible manner. Images on an iPad accompanied the tour to help visualise certain points of Warsaw. Questions welcomed by the tour guide, who spoke well and was friendly and approachable. This is a must-do in Warsaw.

Highly Informative! - We had a very good guide here (unfortunately forgotten his name).
Taking us around the historical sites of Warsaw that related to the oppression of Polish Jews in the twentieth century, this tour offered fascinating insights and non-well-known facts and experiences of Jewish people during the Second World War.
This was our introductory tour of Warsaw and I’d highly recommend as a good starting point to unravel the history of World War 2 in Warsaw.

A walking history lesson, great tour with Violetta in Spanish!!!! - Violetta gave us a fantastic tour in Spanish (her Spanish is perfect). She is very knowledgeable and professional. She is a Warsaw native and speaks very passionately about her city, She gave us a lot of good tips on where to eat as well. We highly recommend her.

Room for improvement - Although the guide shared historical information about the Warsaw ghetto he never explained why we were walking where we were walking and as such I was quite confused the entire time. If it’s the case that the entire ghetto burned down so there isn’t much left to see that’s understandable, but that should be stated and I would have appreciated if the guide shared what used to be in certain places. Also, the stories that were shared were very factual and seemed stripped of the hardship and humanity (or lack thereof) in that period. Humanizing what was being shared would have gone a long way.
