We let Louis know that we needed to walk slower than he was used to and he slowed down; we only had one other couple on the tour who were glad to walk slowly and talk. Rosa was on the tour as a trainee and she also gave us lots of information. Overall an excellent tour.”

The architecture in Warsaw is unmatched. The places of worship are on a different level. She took me to the best chocolate shop, E. Wedel. I had the best white hot chocolate. She shared various legends and stories from her childhood. I had an excellent time. Definitely ask for her when you book.”

12.Historical Walking Tour of Jewish Warsaw

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 68 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $28

Spend about three hours walking through Jewish Warsaw with guides such as Agnieszka, Aga, and Oliwia. You’ll visit Nożyk Synagogue, a surviving ghetto wall fragment, the Jewish Ghetto Heroes Memorial, Miła 18, and Umschlagplatz, using maps and photos to understand places that are often easy to miss.

“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.”
