Sad but true - Oliwia was very factual but also showed great humanity towards a very distressing time on Warsaws history. Loved this tour!

Magnificent experience with Agnieszka! - Our guide Agnieszka was outstanding, and made this trip an unforgetful experience for our family. We were suppose to go with some other, but they cancelled - so we had the guide for ourselves. Agnieszka was very knowledgeable, and we covered all of the area where the Jewish ghetto used to be. It's a some distance to walk, bring good shoes!

Walking the gheto - Excellent historical narrative. Key ghetto sites and memorials visited, with helpful maps and photos. Our guide was steady and kept a good pace so everyone could keep up or take an extra minute to take photos. Our guide was friendly and her English was perfect. Walking 3 hours can be taxing for those who may be older, walking on cobblestone so wear sturdy shoes and bring an umbrella. Doing a museum and this walk in one day may make for a long day on your feet. But this tour is worth it to embrace the ghetto as as a living Place - the tragedy is all too real.

Well worth the tour! - While most evidence of the massive Jewish population and the ghetto is now history, our guide did a wonderful job to present the details and information of what does remain, and spoke to our group of the unthinkable horrors that occurred. A very worthwhile tour. We must never forget!

Outstanding, engaging, informative, and well worthwhile - On May 3 my wife and I took the Historic Walking Tour of Jewish Warsaw. Tour guide Oliwia used the existing city and numerous historical photographs to describe the World War II occupation, uprising, restoration, and reconstruction. She did an outstanding job explaining what happened, who was involved, and how she and other historians have learned about motivation and effects of much that occurred. I'm a docent at a major Holocaust museum in the United States, so I came to the tour with significant knowledge, and she confirmed what I already knew, expanded it, and broadened and deepened my understanding. All seven attendees were similarly engaged throughout, asked numerous questions in context that Oliwia answered clearly and patiently, and completed the tour seeming enriched by the experience. Her knowledge and manner will help me make my own museum tours better.
