Enjoyable cold day. - The information was very good and he was very knowledgeable, answering all of our questions. The van was very comfortable and warm in a cold day. It was very easy to see out the windows and see the city. I highly recommend this tour.

The best way to learn history is to live it - This was one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had. Reading about history is one thing but getting to live the real history through this tour was just incredible. I was severely uneducated when it came to Polish history and this tour not only gave me background information on its entire history but explained the sentiments and profound memory of Poland. Of course the bus was incredible anytime we stopped we had people trying to take pictures of the bus. Our guide Marcin was extraordinary he spoke very clearly I could understand everything he said. This tour was also very influenced by my own questions as I learned a ton about anything I had questions about so he tailored the experience to fit my needs. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who actually wants to grow intellectually. Finally, the monuments and visuals that were used conveyed both the horror and profound deepness of The polish people.

I wish I had three days instead of three hours - they just flew by. - This was a fantastic tour! My guide, Karol, was very knowledgeable about many topics beyond WWII in Warsaw. I had studied the Warsaw Uprising from 1944 and the Ghetto uprising before it. We were able to have in-depth conversations about many different topics that occurred during the war and in its aftermath. There were many very powerful moments, from walking around the rebuilt Old City to visiting the memorials to the Ghetto Uprising and 1944 Uprising. By far the most moving and powerful moment was visiting the command bunker for the Ghetto Uprising at Mila 18. It is still being excavated and a museum dedicated to the Ghetto is being planned. Being able to be that close to such powerful history, while walking over the pulverized ruins of the Ghetto, was beyond words. Everyone should take this tour and visit there. Thank you for providing such a knowledgeable and personable guide!
