Terrific - Wonderful guide who was extremely knowledgeable. Just be prepared that there is a lot of walking. It is one thing to read about Warsaw during the Holocaust and quite another to see the remains of what was.

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.

An interesting tour of the ehm. Ghetto - It's an educational and interesting tour. Even if there aren't many places left in Warsaw where you can see the former ghetto, Olivia gave us an idea of what it must have been like back then! Thank you Olivia!

Adequate but uninspiring - The guide was very knowledgeable however, she was not enthusiastic. Our party all felt that she was very defensive about the holocaust and Poland’s role in it. She made sure to underscore that the concentration camps were German concentration camps and had nothing to do with Poland or with the Polish people. She did not show any sense of outrage or horror over what took place. This had not been our experience in any of the many countries we visited on our trip. To her credit, the guide did extend the tour for us to include everything.
