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!miriamkJ8610BT

Marzena is an excellent, very knowledgeable and professional tour guide. She picked us up from the hotel punctually and we enjoyed an extremely interesting and moving guided tour of the Warsaw ghetto. Marzena showed us photographs and provided illuminating descriptions which really brought the ghetto to ‘life’. An extreme poignant tour and I intend to book again with Polin Tours again when next in Warsaw. Highly recommendedalicelR544DZ

Marzena is an incredible tour guide and she is passionate about he history of the Warsaw Ghetto and the Ghetto Uprising. I was moved to tears several times because her explanations are so vivid and she loves the subject matter. The tour takes you to different important points of the Ghetto - so that you not only get a powerful sense of the history but you get a sense of how LARGE the ghetto was. There was so much I didn't know about it - and Mazena was able to answer all my questions - not only about history but about Warsaw now. Her sensitivity and her ability to give rich context to the events of the Ghetto Uprising made this tour the best tour I've taken in my month of traveling!
