Fascinating - A great look at a people and place that would seem to have slipped into the abyss of history if not for tours like his. Our guide brought their stories back to life despite little in the way of physical remnants.

Recommend - Very knowledgeable guide. Enjoyed learning about the Jewish history and seeing some of the old building, the walk. I went to the Polen museum afterwards which really seeps one in Jewish history!

Walking Jewis Tour not to be missed. - After booking, we were given a time and place for meeting. We arrived early and so did our guide. Our guide, a native, gave us a history lesson in the way you wish your high school history teacher would have taught a lesson. Very informative and at a rate everyone could keep up. This is a walking tour, so we were not surprised that there was walking (close to 7000 steps in 2.5 hours). But there was plenty of time to rest during the explanations at each stop. We learned of ghetto walls, synagogues and of course the history leading up to the holocaust in Poland and up to modern time.
I highly recommend this tour. Donations are asked for at the end of the tour and we gave what a prepaid tour would have cost. I think we got a better deal.

Guide clearly solicits tips - It is interesting and comprehensive, and a lot of walking. The guide made it very clear that she was soliciting tips from the first moment we met. She said she was paid something from Viator but also asked us to consider an additional tip, which we did give her. This is not a criticism; she was quite good, but it is something to know in advance.

Great and knowledge guide - Really informative walk, and loved that we ended at the museum to add to our knowledge. It takes you to spots in the city that you would have never have gone to without it and not just the usual "tourist" spots. Thanks so much

Again very good guide about Walkative - Thanks to the very competent and empatical guide of Walkative it was a very good guide. The leadership thrives on the Fuhrer's eloquence and the vivid narratives of daily life in the ghetto at the time, as this was razed to the ground after 1943; so there is hardly anything left to see. Highly recommended and another very positive experience with the guides of Walkative.

Excellent tour from an exceptional guide. - Olivia is an excellent guide. We learned so much from her. She has the best personality! The pace was perfect. We covered the Jewish Ghetto stopping at important and historical areas. Olivia seems passionate about the history of Warsaw and the ghetto and wants it told factually and accurately. I highly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour with Walkative - Had a fantastic morning with Andzrej learning about Jewish history in Poland, far beyond ww2. Learnt so much about the history of this community from the 1200's all the way until today (almost). The walk was well paced. We covered alot of ground. Saw some of the remains of the Ghetto walls, and left feeling like we had a sense of the intensity of life in the ghetto. Ending at the Polin museum makes this tour the perfect start to the day. Recommend planning to spend the rest of your day in the museum. Highly recommend the Walkative tours and Andzrej.
