We had a very knowledgeable guide who had been giving walking tours for over 7 years. He was attentive to the needs of the group given that it was a very hot day. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who's interested in the WWII history of Warsaw.
Dramatic in-depth discovery of what Warsaw endured beginning September 1, 1939 through August 1944. Our tour guide was passionate, knowledgable and made you feel.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We can recommend this. My son, 17, loved it!
It was a really interesting walking tour seeing some of the sights and learning about the history of the city. Hearing stories of what happened during the war and uncovering things that you would otherwise never know if you walked past on your own. Our guide Magda was really informative and gave great insights, and despite the weather playing up at times kept the tour very enjoyable!
