    Magda managed to take us all the way through her story about Warsaw in the war years. Very impressive photos (from private collection?) that left a deep impression! So many new facts and the realization of what actually took place here makes this a must for anyone with an interest in history. Thank you so much for this! Tip: do this in the first days so that you can visit museums etc. later at your leisure.

    Loads of information presented in a really easy to follow manner. Albert was our guide and he covered all of the background we needed to understand the context of pre-war Poland and wartime Warsaw.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the Warsaw in World War 2 walking tour. Peter was very insightful, passionate and really went to a great effort to ensure that all of us had the opportunity to ask questions about anything we wanted to know. It's a breathtakingly beautiful section of Warsaw, with a tragic history of suffering behind it. If you're interested in the history of WW2 and the impact it had on Poland and its people, I highly recommend taking a couple of hours out of your day to embark on this tour.
