Great learning experience - Gawel was a great tour guide. Very informative and captivating. Most of all, he was caring about finding us all shade at every stop and pointing out where to buy water during a very hot day. The 2 hour tour was 2.5 hours and it does not start where it ends. I recommend exploring old town before the tour. Overall, it was a good experience and nice to learn, despite there being few remaining buildings in what was the ghetto.

Honouring the Jewish Experience - My sisters and I are in Poland to honour our grandmother and retrace her steps from when she was a girl during the Holocaust. While she was never in Warsaw, we started our trip here and decided to book a tour so that we could learn as much as possible about the Warsaw Jews and their experience during World War II. We were lucky to have Gawel as our guide for the tour and especially enjoyed his fun personality! He also provided lots of historical insight on the experience of the Warsaw Jews during this time period and was invaluable in helping the group understand the broader picture of what was happening to Jews here and around Europe. The only little suggestion we have is we'd love more time to take pictures of the historical sights and monuments after each stop. We didn't want to miss a minute of the tour. Otherwise, everything was perfect! Thank you so much, Gawel!

just ok - The guide was very single minded and did not provide a full picture review. She would give facts she read in a book but was clearly not well versed in the true history of all aspects
