Outstanding, insightful history tour of Jewish Warsaw - This tour of the history of Jewish Warsaw was outstanding. Oliwia was an excellent guide whose English is so strong I thought she was an American! Oliwia answered all of our questions (and there were many) but she also asked us questions that really got us thinking about events and how we thought we would act (or not) in situations that she described. She was passionate about her subject and I now have so much more understanding of the events involving the Jewish Warsaw residents than I did before I took the tour.

Must Do This Tour - Our tour guide Agnieszka was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. The tour truly was a journey through the history of the Jewish in Warsaw. The city of Warsaw has so many subtle reminders of the Warsaw Ghetto, however if you weren’t guided through them, you wouldn’t even know they existed. That is why I highly recommend this tour.

Excellent walking tour with a very passionate and knowledgeable guide - We learned a tremendous amount from our guide Olivia - we recommend this tour 100% for learning about the Warsaw ghetto - all that happened there and how it is recovering. Olivia is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about Jewish history and much more. There is over 5 km of walking from one end of the former ghetto to the other, so be prepared for that. We are very glad we chose this tour.

Best tour on any topic that we’ve taken - I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. The tour guide (Oliwia) had a very narrative style that helped us really understand the time period. There was plenty of time for questions and discussion. It’s an upsetting topic, but Oliwia found ways to convey the reality of the situation without being overly graphic.
