Fabulous guide, learnt a lot - I learnt a lot in this tour from our fabulous guide Anna who also works at Polin and has genuine expertise in the field of Jewish history. Without this tour I felt it would be easy to visit Warsaw and leave not knowing enough about the Jewish experience of the war.

Interesting insight into Jewish Warsaw - This was an extremely interesting and insightful guided walk about the history of Jewish Warsaw. It really surprised me how big an area of Warsaw was the Ghetto and this walk gave a real sense of the scale and the boundaries. Sights included the remaining synagogue and part of the Ghetto wall. Andrzej is a brilliant guide and knows so much about all of the history. I learnt so much that was new to me and it was a memorable part of our three-night trip to Warsaw. Take cash to give at the end as we didn't realise he only took cash so only had a small amount to give him and not as much as we would have liked to have done.

Ana is great- really recommend! - Ana was a really great tour guide. She was really knowledgeable about the subject. She knew how to pace the tour - she gave us just enough info to keep it really interesting and not too much where I felt it was overly fact heavy. I was really engaged the whole time. Very much recommend for a good overall history of Judaism in Warsaw

Excellent tour - Highly recommend this tour. Anna was excellent. She is/was well-informed and personable and I appreciated she is from the area and was able to share the history from both a historical and personal perspective. It is hard to tackle such a large area in 2.5 hours and she pulled it off. She had pictures to supplement, a speaker which allowed us all to hear easily, considered where we altered standing so as to not impact others, was conscious of walking speed, and always made sure the group stayed together. Great tour. Highly recommend.

A fantastic journey full of information - This was a fantastic tour with so much information, not just linked to the war. There are not as many sites to see, but the guide provides you with lots of information and you learn so much.

Great way of understanding the Jewish experience in Nazi occupied Warsaw. - Excellent guide who brought this tricky and emotional experience to life. Quite a large distance walked but well worth it.

Missed a few important (advertised) sites on the Jewish tour... - Keep your eyes open for important historical markers and permanent maps all over the former ghetto area.
A bit disappointed with the guide, Andrejz - tended to get a bit lost in his stories - left several cliffhangers ... and then forgot about them.
