About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 377abbiek0 contributionsExcellent layover tourWhat an excellent way to spend a few hours between flights. Marzena was an exceptional guide — super prompt, clear in her meet-up instructions, and incredibly warm and welcoming. Our tour managed the sort of depth and nuance you wouldn’t expect of a mere half-day excursion, and I left feeling that I’d learned, seen (and tasted) quite a lot.Written 24 January 2025

We spent three hours touring the Warsaw Ghetto. Our guide Mary was very knowledgeable, pleasant and a good storyteller, bringing this terrible piece of history to life. I know more now about both the terrible fate of the Jewish population in the Warsaw ghetto, and about the Nazi regime in general. Important and touching.
The guide was also very good at adapting the tour to the entire group, both according to the wishes of content and according to everyone's physical conditions.
An important and good tour that we can really recommend to more people.

We booked a personal guided walk around the Old Warszawa Ghetto, with Marzena as our guide.
If you are interested in the history of the Polish Jews in Warsaw during the German occupation during World War 2, and want to be able to ask questions along the way, then you should choose this tour.
Marzena shows enormous warmth and friendliness, and you feel safe in her company from the first meeting to the end.
Furthermore, Marzena contains an enormous amount of knowledge about the history of Poland in general, and was able to answer all the questions that arose during the trip.
We left there enlightened and with a deeper insight, which has contributed to thoughts and reflection on not just Poland's history, but human history as well.
We highly recommend this tour 😊

The tour was led by a very committed and competent guide who gave a good impression of the lives of the people before, during and after the creation of the Warsaw Ghetto. She was well prepared and, in addition to historical information, had some pictures with her that illustrated what was being told well. She also answered questions during the tour and requests for further activities/sightseeing afterwards. An experience that makes you think and clearly shows you the atrocities of the Nazi regime, of which you are becoming less and less aware in everyday life.

Even slightly premature is my tour guide Marzena at my hotel to pick me up. I booked the tour in German, and behold, I am the only guest today. Which is of course an advantage, so I get a tailor-made tour. Marzena has an extremely profound historical knowledge, but also likes to tell personal anecdotes. If you are really interested in the history of the Warsaw Ghetto, I can highly recommend this tour and this guide.

A one-on-one experience that really enhanced my knowledge of the city and the people who were impacted by walking the same streets they did. My guide, Mary, was able to help explain the landscape of the city both in its current state and what it was like both before and during WW2. There is so much history in this vibrant city, and this tour helped highlight a tragic part of history but one I felt was vital to understanding its complicated history. So many things I would have missed had I not had her experience at my side!

If you want a great tour of the Jewish Ghetto, this is the tour you want! We loved our walking tour with Marzena. She was very knowledgeable and had maps and pictures to help us understand where the ghetto was and how it looked back then. We covered a lot of area in our 3 hour tour. She met us at our hotel and we ended the tour at the POLIN Museum, which we did right afterwards. She was able to answer all of my husband's questions and recommended the restaurant at the POLIN Museum, which had a variety of food or soup. Great recommendation! So if you're looking for something to do in Warsaw, choose this walking tour with Marzena. You won't be disappointed!

The experience was excellent. Mary was very good at interpreting the surroundings, the architecture, the culture and of course the history of the Ghetto. We covered a lot of ground on the tour and unearthed a lot of what happened during those awful years. I think it might have been better for our group if the duration was slightly shorter, perhaps 2-2.5 hours instead of the 3 but nevertheless it gave us the foundation to read and explore this subject in more detail. Thank you Mary!

I booked this tour with Marzena (Mary) for myself, my 19 year old daughter and my 12 and 13 year olds. It was a three hour walking tour that hit all of the highlights of the Warsaw ghetto. Mary was INCREDIBLE! She's a veritable fount of knowledge about the historical and social aspects of this area, and she's an entertaining and engaging guide. It's heavy content for younger kids, but she did a great job of balancing the information for everyone on the tour. The price is reasonable and you get to really see some incredible sites and learn about the history of the ghetto. Highly recommend!!

Mary our guide was superb, extremely knowledgeable and responsive in replying to our questions as well as being really friendly and personable. The tour itself was a great balance of visiting sites and learning about the history behind them, exactly what we were hoping for. It was great to be in a very small group too to get the most out of the experience.
