Guides such as Marzena and Mary use wartime photos and maps to connect today’s streets with the vanished city.

“Marzena is an AMAZING tour guide! She is passionate about the subject matter of the Warsaw Ghetto. She explained the entire history of the Ghetto - as well as the uprising/ resistance so vividly - taking me to specific spots where the Ghetto used to be and showing me pictures of how the areas looked during the war so that I could see what changed and what has stayed the same. This helped take me back in time and understand drama of the history. I feel very lucky to have had Marzena as my tour guide. It was a rainy day - but her energy and her willingness to walk…”

Our guide was the most amazing storyteller—funny and engaging, yet deeply respectful when tackling the heavy history of the Nazi era. She kept us fully engaged as we navigated the ghetto sites, weaving in WW2 history, personal stories, and the immense suffering endured by Poles and Jews with sensitivity and clarity. We learned a tremendous amount—about the daily life, the resistance, and the lasting impact of the occupation on Warsaw and its Jewish community.

Some of the places we went I would never have found on my own. He found us a couple of places to sit while he spoke of the area. His humor was great. After the tour, I happened to pass by him eating lunch and reading a book outside of a bookshop. I didn’t bother him, but thought, that is why he’s such a great tour guide. He loves learning.”

We waited until 9:15am and no one showed. I called the tour guide’s local number twice and did not get an answer. I then called the trip advisor/Viator number for help. After about 10 minutes I was told the tour guide could not be reached and they were going to refund my money.
