Top Warsaw Day Trips - page 4

After teaching a unit on the Holocaust for the last 30 years with my 8th grade students, I am glad that I finally made a trip to see Auschwitz and learn more about its history. It was both a harrowing and fascinating tour. We spent two hours being guided through the camp at Auschwitz I, and then another hour at Auschwitz II/Birkenau. Our guide (I am sorry I didn’t get her name) was exceptional. Her knowledge of the camps was second to none and she explained everything with a great deal of compassion and empathy. At times, her narration was so strong that she made us feel the pain of what people went through in the camps. I applaud her immensely. The driver who picked us up from where we were staying and delivering us to the Warsaw Central train station, and then picking us up at the end of the tour was also very friendly and prompt. The only drawback of the tour was the local driver who took us from the Krakow train station to Auschwitz and back. While asked more than twice by people in his bus to turn on the air conditioner as it was very hot inside the vehicle, he ignored those requests. Moreover, he adamantly refused to drive one couple back to their hotel, the same hotel from which he picked them up in the morning. He made them get out of the bus at Kraków’s Old Town and find their own way back to their hotel. I am certain that this couple did not receive all that they paid for. Despite that, it was an informative and worthwhile trip to a place that is so very much a part of our world history.

We had an amazing day. We could not be happier with the experience. Anna does an amazing job, offering lots of insights and useful information on a very comfortable car journey. She guided us around Treblinka very professionally and then at Wolf’s Lair, the guide was Jadwija, who is obviously very passionate about the location and did a great job. Thank you Anna and Jadwija. I would recommend you both to anyone. Worth it 100%.

This tour was incredibly meaningful. The tour guide, Marcin, was amazingly knowledgeable. He provided details about not only Treblinka but Poland more broadly. He also went above and beyond helping me search out specific areas of the camp and even visiting a local town where family members once lived. Highly recommend

I was surprised to learn that booking the experience does not guarantee your visit, which is not the tour company’s fault. Auschwitz released a limited number of English speaking guides per day and you are also competing for a spot against others visiting the museum/memorial. I booked the tour over a month prior to my visit date. 3-4 days before, I got a message from Agnieszka asking me to switch days to accommodate the tour. I was unable to switch days, but she made sure I was able to get a spot to tour Auschwitz on my preferred day. I found out about 24 hours prior to my tour that I would be going. I appreciated her efforts to ensure I was able to see Auschwitz and her flexibility in assisting me. I was picked up by Adam in a van and escorted down to Auschwitz. It was a 3.25 hour drive one way and he makes as many stops as you need. Highly recommend. It is worth the price and the long day.

This was a great way to get an overview of Warsaw, its history and sites. Nikita was a fantastic guide and was both informative and entertaining. The segways were a fun way to get around and very easy, even if you’ve never done it before. If you want an intro to Warsaw or have limited time to explore I highly recommend.

This is an intimate experience in a tiny studio. The atmosphere is fantastic and the program and split well with refreshments during g the interlude. The outside space in the back was great just to catch a quick stretch in between. Program was perfect.

This pub crawl was so much fun, and it was an amazing way to kick off my brother and I's trip to Warsaw. Isabel and Sofiane were the best hosts, they made us feel very welcomed to the city and planned some fun drinking games that helped us all get to know each other. We received free drinks and entrance to all the bars and clubs we went to, and the dancing at the last couple of clubs was so fun.

We’ve done a walking tour in Warsaw years ago but the cycle tour with Marcin was much better. On bike you can cover a much larger area so you can get a fuller history of the city, and it’s more fun riding around a beautiful city. Marcin was an excellent guide, very passionate about his city and his country. It’s a great way to spend 3 hours 😊
