Tour of Jewish Ghetto with my daughter - This was one of the best tours I have ever taken. Do not hesitate to join if you are in Warsaw. I joined the tour with my daughter, who is almost 18 and it was the perfect way to help her understand the tragic final chapter in the history of what had been (pre-WWII) the largest Jewish population in Europe. The commentary (and photos) from our guide Olivia were beyond incredible.

An intensive tour of the Warsaw Ghetto for those who are really interested in history - Even slightly premature is my tour guide Marzena at my hotel to pick me up. I booked the tour in German, and behold, I am the only guest today. Which is of course an advantage, so I get a tailor-made tour. Marzena has an extremely profound historical knowledge, but also likes to tell personal anecdotes. If you are really interested in the history of the Warsaw Ghetto, I can highly recommend this tour and this guide.

Visited a number of notable sights, very interesting. - Great tour, informative. Tour guide Marzena was fantastic, knowledgeable and provided great insight. Walked a number of sites, gained a sense of the actual size of the ghetto and this along with our guides knowledge of past events made it a worthwhile tour.

Highly recommend! - Marzena, our Guide, was wonderful! She knew so much about the history of Warsaw and the photos she had were very helpful along our tour. I was able to grasp the scale and size of the bug and small Ghettos and really see old and new. We visited all of the sites on my list. I’m really certain this was the right choice for a tour and highly recommend it!

A very enjoyable tour and... - A very enjoyable tour and very informative. It would have been nearly impossible to spot some of these sites on your own.
I would have liked to have heard more about the uprising but overall I would certainly recommend this to anyone with an interest in history and WWII.
