Poland · WWII MEMORIAL & CAMP TOURS
Beyond Auschwitz-Birkenau there are Stutthof outside Gdańsk, Treblinka and Majdanek in the east, Gross-Rosen in Silesia and the bunker complexes in Masuria. The 5 below are compared on distance, what the day includes and how much of it is driving.
Spend 80 minutes cruising from Gdańsk’s Długie Pobrzeże through the Motława River, shipyard, commercial port, and Wisłoujście Fortress to Westerplatte and back. A Polish, English, or German guide explains the sights, while live music plays on the return. There is a bar with hot and cold drinks, alcohol, and snacks.
“Excellent boat trip and we had as long in Westerplatte as we wanted.”
Travel from Gdansk or Sopot by air-conditioned minibus, then take an extended English-language tour of Stutthof Museum. Your guide leads you through the barracks, commander’s villa, gas chambers, crematorium, memorial, and camp grounds. Drivers such as Simon and Christopher also share local history along the route.
“It was very informative and really worth the trip. Would highly recommend.”
Spend 150 minutes exploring Warsaw’s WWII landmarks with an English-speaking local guide such as Magda, Gosia, Andrew, or Albert. Expect wartime photographs, family stories, former Nazi and Jewish Ghetto sites, execution locations, and Polish Resistance strongholds. The small-group walk costs $20 and is wheelchair accessible.
“Very interesting tour. Learnt a lot about WW2 and Warsaw.”
Spend three hours with an English-speaking local guide, traveling in a retro Żuk minibus through Warsaw’s WWII sites. Visit former Ghetto locations, memorials to Jewish victims and deported Poles, and the Warsaw Uprising Monument. Hotel pickup within 3 kilometers of central Warsaw is available, and private groups can shape the route around their interests.
“Incredible 😊 we loved the tour very much and our tour guide was so informative. We would highly recommend this tour”
Travel from Warsaw with a private guide to Treblinka Memorial and Hitler’s Wolf’s Lair. Anna, Wojtek, or another guide handles the long drive and Treblinka visit, while a local guide such as Jadwiga leads you through the bunker complex. Expect a serious, history-heavy day with about nine hours on the road.
“Our guide Anna was excellent and very informative, her English was excellent. Also our guide in the wofs lair was very good and gave us time for photos and to read the information.”
Pick a city, a memorial or a mountain.
