“My wife and I have been on a lot of walking tours and this is definitely one of the best. Our guide (Lucy) did an excellent job. Oftentimes guides get too into the weeds, bombarding us with dates and names so a 2 1/2 hours long tour becomes totally exhausting. Lucy presented the important historical events and facts in an interesting way with narratives around people. She was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the Jews and the Jewish quarters and presented her knowledge in a straightforward and engaging way. I felt learned more on this tour than on most other tours I have been on.”

“First of all, my guide/driver, Karol, was absolutely the best. He is a doctoral student in history, and really knows the information inside out and backwards. He went above and beyond at every stop/site. The 80’s Fiat was a fun bonus! Karol covered all of the important and even some lesser Jewish Warsaw sites and general Warsaw history and associated buildings, monuments, memorials, etc. So, why, you ask, did I give this tour 4 stars and not 5?
