Treblinka Death Camp 6 Hour Private Tour from Warsaw
Overview
Treblinka, more specific Treblinka II, is the second biggest death camp, after Birkenau, where German and Austrian Nazis murdered more than 800 000 Polish Jews with dozens of thousands more Poles in forced labour camp nearby.
Treblinka is different than any other similar places. You won't see here barracks nor crematories. Jews from Warsaw Ghetto were brought there in unhuman condition by trains and were herded from railway ramp straight to gas chambers. 40 minutes later victims’ bodies were buried in giant mass graves.
A thick forest surrounding the area creates almost mystical atmosphere. The beauty of the nature along with an awareness of a big tragedy that happened here to so many innocent people evokes deep emotions.

Marcin was our guide to Treblinka and he was excellent. He picked us up on time from our Warsaw hotel. He pointed out places of interest as we left Warsaw. We discussed our reason for visiting Treblinka, which was that my dad's family was transported to Treblinka. We discussed my family history and he told me about his family during the war which was so very insightful since we did not know much life here during the war. He explained many things to us about the camp on the ride there. He showed us as we were driving, where the railroad tracks originally were and discussed the origins of the camp as a penal camp. Marcin led us through the museum in whispered, respectful tones so those who were watching the movies could hear it (unlike the other guide with a group was very loud and made it difficult to hear) when Marcin set up the movies for us to watch. After the movie we finished our tour of the museum and he waited while I wrote in the book and used the restrooms. At no time did we feel rushed. He explained what was written on the displays outside of the museum and then we drove out to see the rest of the grounds. We walked around the rebuilt train platform, saw the area that was rebuilt to represent the rail line and explained many items of significance in detail. He walked us back to the monument areas, explained what we were seeing and left us to go back to the vehicle so we could have time to ourselves and to find my dad's hometown carved into one of the 19,000 stones placed there, which my son found right away. He was very respectful of what being there meant to me and to my family. From there we went on to see where the penal camp(we opted not to get out as I as emotionally drained) was located and the quarry pit where we did get out of the van. He explained everything to us in detail. We stopped for lunch on the way home and learned even more from Marcin, not just about Treblinka, but life now in Poland. We could not have asked for a better experience.Amazing trip. Very thought provoking reminding us about the dark side of recent history. Our guide was friendly, informative and enabled us to have a better understanding of how the camp would have been during the war. Would recommend this tour to anybody that has an interest in history

Marcin was a tremendous guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour even more rich with his commentary and personal insights. He took advantage of the drive to and fromTreblinka to provide even more information about Poland’s history and culture making every minute of the tour valuable and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour to this important site.We had a very good trip to Treblinka. It was emotional to see and to hear about the horrors of the Holocaust. Our guide Marcin was very friendly and informative during the whole trip.

Martin was an excellent guide for an emotionally distressing day. My grandfather’s entire family was murdered at Treblinka and I am so thankful I was able to honor their memory by going to their last resting place. Martin was very informative, not only about Treblinka but also Warsaw and Poland in general. Most importantly, he was very empathetic and sensitive to how heavy a tour this would be for me and was respectful of my feelings. Once we arrived at the heart of the memorial, Martin gave us space to commemorate the dead. Also, Martin was aware of my dietary restrictions and found us a restaurant afterwards where I could eat. Overall, would highly recommend Martin! In my opinion, this place is unique from more visited sites like Auschwitz as it is not there to inform you (though the museum next to the site and Martin both do a very thorough job of that), but to truly feel the horror of the death camp and grief the loss of so many innocents.
