Do not hesitate to book this tour! It is worth every penny!! Mary was extremely knowledgeable and did an excellent job facilitating the tour to include public transportation (which was a bonus for us). The tour is well organized moving you through the city and history in a very organized manner. Such a moving tour and fingers crossed you get Mary!

Mary was our guide and she was fantastic. It is a great choice as you combine some walking with the car ride to other areas a little bit further than the downtown. It was not only just listening to what she had to say, but having a conversation with her about the fascinating facts and historic context of Warsaw.

Our tour was perfect. Jacek, was on time, friendly and we enjoyed our time with him very much. I look forward to coming back to Warsaw in the summer to further explore your beautiful city. I would recommend your tour company and Jacek any time.

Our guide, Marzena, did a terrific job showing us the former Warsaw Ghetto. The three hours were flying by while Marzena provided us with information about the Ghetto, Jewish life in Poland and answered all our questions.

Guide very knowledgeable and communicated the history in a very clear way. Very very interesting
