Michael was fantastic! He was well prepared and shared compelling insights. He was mindful, considerate.
This is a really good tour provider. Michael was educational, like a friendly professor , and communicated the major touchstone facts while walking us through this important district. I'm doing educational travel tourism with WW2 focus, so getting into the heart and landscape of Warsaw Jewish ghetto is a very important component. I'm glad to see some of the things that previously I only saw in documentaries. Thanks Michael and this excellent tour group
Most informative and interesting tour of Warsaw’s Jewish town and its history. Our guide Jasec ensured that a very dark period in history was presented factually and with interest, without dwelling on garish details..
The huide was very professional, knowledgeable, attentive, interesting, his English was perfect . All in all. It was a great tour
Our guide, Michael, has an in depth knowledge of Jewish history in Warsaw. He shared so much information, in a clear and engaging manner, showing us sights we would have never seen had we not been on his tour. Walking through the old Jewish ghetto, listening to Michael as he took us through what life was like, tho harrowing, was incredible well presented. Highly recommend.
Amazing tour guide and experience. Learnt a lot about the city and its history.
I had the privilege of joining a Jewish Warsaw walking tour guided by Andrey, and I can confidently say it was one of the most meaningful and memorable travel experiences I have ever had. What immediately stood out about Andrey was the depth of his knowledge. He did not simply present historical facts — he brought the history of Jewish Warsaw to life with remarkable clarity, context, and humanity. Every street, monument, courtyard, and building carried a story, and Andrey connected them together in a way that made the city’s complex past feel deeply personal and unforgettable. His understanding of Jewish history, Polish history, World War II, the Warsaw Ghetto, and the cultural heritage of the Jewish community was truly exceptional. What made the experience even more special was the way he shared this knowledge. Andrey was incredibly kind, patient, and humble throughout the entire tour. Despite his expertise, he never spoke in a way that felt rehearsed or overly academic. Instead, he created an atmosphere where every question was welcome and every participant felt included. He had a rare ability to discuss difficult and emotional historical topics with both sensitivity and respect. You could immediately feel that Andrey genuinely cares about preserving and sharing the memory and history of Jewish Warsaw. His passion was authentic and deeply moving. Rather than rushing through locations, he gave each place the attention and reflection it deserved, allowing visitors to fully absorb the significance of what they were seeing. For future travelers visiting Warsaw, I cannot recommend Andrey highly enough. Whether you are deeply interested in history or simply curious to better understand the city and its past, this tour will leave a lasting impression on you. It is far more than a sightseeing experience — it is an educational, emotional, and profoundly human journey through one of the most important chapters of Warsaw’s history. If you have the opportunity to take a tour with Andrey, do not hesitate. His knowledge, humility, warmth, and storytelling ability make him an extraordinary guide and an unforgettable ambassador for Jewish Warsaw.
Impressive guided tour. The guide could tell in a very fascinating way.
Excellent and informative. Our guide was also ebyrrogivrn the sobering subject matter of the tour.
We did the Jewish Warsaw Walking Tour and highly recommend it. Our guide, Jacek, was an absolute encyclopedia of knowledge — he knew the subject matter inside out and clearly has a real passion for the topic. The tour was incredibly informative, thoughtful, and engaging. Jacek brought the history to life with detailed explanations, personal insights, and a deep understanding of the historical events. This was one of the most meaningful experiences of our trip to Warsaw. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of Jewish history in the city.
