A tour with meaning - Very informative tour, with vital details about Jews in Poland and what happened in Warsaw during WWII. Friendly tour guide who was happy to answer any questions directed at him, while making a difficult topic interesting. Worth wandering in the grey and wet weather for.

Great experience! - Great story and great tour which is definitely useful for those who want to get more knowledge about the history of Jews and about their life and tragic events during World War II. The stories and historical insight of Piotr were presented in a very interesting and professional way - as always :) It was an unforgettable tour which gives you a whole mix of feelings: on one hand you see a modern peaceful city, and on the other hand those remains of Warsaw Ghetto will always remind about people's tragedy.

I recommend - Although I live in Warsaw I learned a lot of new things about the city and the Warsaw ghetto during the tour. I recommend it for both tourists that are just passing by and people who live in Warsaw and want to learn something more about the history of the city.

Incredible tour - If you have any interest in the vast Jewish history and if you want to see the remains of the Warsaw Ghetto integrated into the modern city landscape Peter is the ultimate source for both. The sites on the tour were shocking and unexpected. What’s more, Peter told the story about Jews in Poland with passion and grace. This tour was definitely not "fun" but instead - very rewarding. I strongly recommend it!

The best trip ever. - Today's trip was wonderful. The tour guide - Piotrek was extremely professional and nice. Thank you for lots of interesting information. My 12 year- old son was delighted. I have been living in Warsaw most of my life but this trip made me realize that there are still soooo many things I do not know about my city and its history. I do recommend Trips and Travel.

Nice experience - What I like the most about the tour were the stories, yet not only just stories, but those were presented in a perspective, what gives you a bigger picture and understanding of what had happened in Warsaw during the WWII. Piotr (our guide) is a very kind person and delivers knowledge in a very convenient way. I was not tired at all after 3h of walking!

Highly recommended! - I was pleased with our tour around the Warsaw Ghetto. In 3 hours we saw the most interesting monuments and places memorializing Jewish history. The information was the perfect amount...not too many details, but some very interesting tidbits. I have no memory for dates, but I learnt a lot. Piotr is an excellent guide with great personality. He shared his knowledge in very assimilable way. I would definitely recommend him as a guide and the tour itself both for visitors and residents.

What tour? - We booked this trip online and paid online. The morning of the trip our tour guide was supposed to meet us at 9:00am. At 8:45am I received an email to go wait at the pick up point. We waited until 9:15am and no one showed. I called the tour guide’s local number twice and did not get an answer. I then called the trip advisor/Viator number for help. After about 10 minutes I was told the tour guide could not be reached and they were going to refund my money. The ONLY positive thing I can say about this is that the refund came quickly, in one business day.
