Private 3-hour Warsaw WWII tour with hotel pickup in a retro Żuk minibus, covering ghetto walls, Muranów, Soviet losses, and 1944 uprising.

“We booked this tour last minute and were hesitant as although we know some history of WWII, I wouldn't classify us as History buffs. Marcin our guide picked us up at our hotel promptly in his Zuk and it was immediate that he definitely knew his subject matter. However, at no time was he boring or did it feel like a lecture. It was more of a conversation. His informal way of explaining things made this tour excellent. He answered all our questions and took us to places - well away from the tourist spots and off the tourist maps. Could highly recommend this tour regardless of your knowledge level…”

6.Warsaw in World War 2 Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 26 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $19.20

Walk WWII Warsaw with a small-group guide through Ghetto sites and uprising landmarks, with free entry points and a city map.

“First, this tour is provided by Orange Umbrella, which provides the guide. Apparently many websites and companies feed into this tour (at least 4 in my group). Total in group was around 20 which borders on too big without headsets but our guide (Magda) used a voice amplifier and spoke perfect English so no issues. Very informative and good pace. No WC breaks. All business covering a lot of history. Presented many period photos which brought needed color to the magnitude of destruction and horror which happened here. Solicited and got many questions while walking between stops. No formal talks while walking which worked best. I would recommend this tour…”

“Circuit intéressant et pertinent pour une première découverte de la ville. Sensation de vitesse importante du coup manque de cohérence dans les choix explicatifs. On saute beaucoup du coq à l’âne. Cependant la sympathie et bonhomie d’Anna sont tout à fait convaincantes. Problème sur le transfert au musée de l’insurrection. Point négatif audio guides compris normalement dans le prix revenant à notre charge.”
