a Private Tour.
Before the Second World War, Warsaw was the second-largest Jewish city in the world. The only place with a larger Jewish community was… New York!
For centuries, Jews played an active role in the city’s life during good times and bad. In the 19th century, Jews joined other Varsovians in their struggles against occupying powers and participated in Polish uprisings. During the Interwar Period, Jewish Warsaw flourished. Hundreds of artists, actors, writers, and journalists called the city home. Its cultural life was incomparable to any other time and place in history.
Learning about the pre-war diversity and richness of Jewish Warsaw helps us understand the scale of the destruction that took place during the Holocaust. But, alongside stories of persecution and death, there are stories of the resilience and unimaginable bravery of those who fought without hope.
The wounds and scars of the Second World War and Holocaust will never heal. But the story of Jewish Warsaw is not only the story of the past, but also the story of today: the young, diverse and energetic Jewish community that optimistically looks to the future.
To discover all of this, just come and join us and be ready for an emotional journey through history!

The tour is really informative. Luke told us bout the history of the Jewish people in Poland. If you are interested in history, this tour will definitely help you learn more about history. Be prepared for yourself to walk quite a lot! Please wear comfortable shoes
Tomasz is a very knowledgable and passionate guide. It was quite a long tour, around 3 hours. So wear comfortable shoes & clothes as per the weather and bring something to eat & drink. The tour ends at the Polin museum – so you can continue the exploration of the Jewish history there after the tour! Basically you can spend one full day in Warsaw just with the Jewish history as it is more than 1000 years old!
Macks ( Max)
Lead an informative tour with well paced conversation. Participants could enquire freely. Although the snowflakes fell, that could not disrupt the observations and realisations of a sad past .
Ana was a wonderful guide, showing us the secret hidden places which are full of story. The stories around the streets and people who lived there, invite you to thing about what happened.
