A great tour to experience WWII history. Anna was a most enjoyable guide who spent a long day with us, providing a wealth of information on both locations we visited. Upon reaching Wolf's Lair, Anna introduced us to a very experienced guide who showed us around the site. It's a long day visiting both sights from Warsaw, but Anna made it a great day.
Two essential WWII historical sights were the basis for this excellent full day tour. Anna, my wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable driver-guide, communicated very well before the tour so I knew exactly what to expect. She picked me up promptly at my hotel in Old Town Warsaw and told me so much about Treblinka during our drive there. Once we arrived she took me on a super good, informative and detailed tour of Treblinka. I knew very little about the history of the camp, so Anna taught me a lot. Touring Treblinka which, at that time, was the first concentration camp I had ever been to, was a powerful, moving experience. Anna then drove me to Hitler's Wolf's Lair which was creepy, disturbing, dark, fascinating, and essential viewing for anybody who is genuinely interested in WWII history. Anna had another guide who was an absolute expert in the history and background of the Wolf's Lair, and she walked me around the entire site for almost two hours. I learned a LOT. While I was aware of the assassination attempt against Hitler which happened here (see the Tom Cruise movie Valkyrie) they both filled me in on so much more. Well worth seeing. Anna was a terrific guide and driver. Highly recommended tour.
We had an amazing day. We could not be happier with the experience. Anna does an amazing job, offering lots of insights and useful information on a very comfortable car journey. She guided us around Treblinka very professionally and then at Wolf’s Lair, the guide was Jadwija, who is obviously very passionate about the location and did a great job. Thank you Anna and Jadwija. I would recommend you both to anyone. Worth it 100%.
Anna, the guide, was fantastic. She was very informative not only about Treblinka but also about Poland. She was very accommodating during the car ride and had a very well informed colleague meet us at Wolf's Lair for the tour there. I would recommend the tour to anyone.
Our guide Anna, in addition to being a very good driver, has been our guide in Treblinka and beyond, has enriched our trip with lots of useful information. Our guide to the bunker was outstanding, we didn't know quite what to expect but it far exceeded our expectations!
An excellent experience. Anna is a wonderful guide! A full day adventure for any history or ww2 buff in the Warsaw area.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a real pleasure to guide you and spend the day exploring history together. I’m glad you enjoyed the tour!
This trip is a well designed and skillfully delivered by the experts at each site. Anna provided comfortable transportation and detailed insights about all aspects of the Treblinka camp. Jadwiga was equally knowledgeable at Wolf’s Lair. In addition to sharing their vast historical facts and figures on these tours, they were also very personable. Each quickly found a way to effectively communicate with us and made our tour a complete success!
Thank you for such a lovely review! I’m happy the tour felt valuable and memorable — sharing this part of history is truly important to me. Hope to see you again in Poland!

Anna was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Although it was a long day it was well worth the trip and would recommend it to anyone with an interest in history
Thank you! I’m so happy you enjoyed the tour — it means a lot!
Our tour guide Anna was extremely knowledgeable of the historical significance of Treblinka on world history. We also had spirited discussions on many other current topics which was enjoyable.
