Jewish Warsaw Walking Tour

I think it was an advantage to have done the Walkative Tour of the Old City the day before and to have visited the Polin. Neither was a pre-requisite for this tour, but they helped my understanding of the situation of the Jewish people in Warsaw. Michael was an excellent guide, with just the right balance of historical context and the impact upon the Jewish people, without being overly emotional on such a sensitive subject. He showed us the photographic evidence of pre and post WW2, which in itself was powerful. Modern Warsaw is literally built on top of the remains of the original city, which has advantages for future planners. But walking within the Ghetto reminded us of what lay beneath the modern constructions. For me one of the "highlights" was standing where the tram bridge had been, that I'd seen so many times in documentaries.

I was very happy to be with Michal again for this activity. The same passion, up tears, very knowledgeable and very pleasant. It's a must do to gauge the monstruous history, since there's not much left to see.

Michal, with more than ten years of experience, is an exceptional guide. What becomes obvious is his depth of knowledge. Not just about the stops on the tour, but the history of Poland and how it all weaves together. When he spoke about the deportation of 200 children, you could feel his emotional response to the event. As if this was the first time he was delivering those words. I highly recommend the tour and, of course, Michal.

We attended the tour on July 10, 2026, and despite the challenging weather conditions (a downpour at the beginning of the tour followed by several periods of drizzle), Michael delivered a thoroughly engaging and informative tour of Warsaw's Jewish heritage. We had the opportunity to look at a functioning synagogue, hear several stories about the Warsaw Ghetto, as well as some historical life stories (those of Mordechaj Anielewicz and Marek Edelman). Michael also used historical photographs and maps, which helped participants gain a better understanding of the city's history. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and wish you many more satisfied participants in the future!

Michael was an excellent guide and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Jewish Warsaw. He gave us a great deal of insight into a difficult part of our recent past and it was done with a great deal of respect.

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.
