Our tour with Paulina was...

NICK_M, Jun 2025

Our tour with Paulina was excellent. We wanted to see the area of the Warsaw Ghetto, and Paulina took us there and showed us all the important sights. We upgraded to the tour with a driver which significantly helped with the amount of walking we had to do. We saw the Warsaw Zoo, original buildings from the Warsaw Ghetto, and many monuments to the victims and heroes. Paulina added so much to the tour with her commentary. Highly recommend.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Dear Nick, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. I’m truly delighted to hear that your tour of the Warsaw Ghetto and surrounding sites with Paulina was both meaningful and enjoyable. We take great pride in working with guides like Paulina, whose knowledge, empathy, and storytelling bring such depth to these important places. I’m especially glad to hear that the upgrade to include a driver made the experience more comfortable for you—it’s something we always recommend for tours that involve significant distances, and I’m happy it made a difference. It means a great deal to us that you appreciated the balance of history, reflection, and accessibility we strive to provide on our tours. Thank you as well for your kind recommendation—it’s the greatest compliment we can receive. We hope to welcome you again in the future, whether in Warsaw or beyond. Warm regards, Artur

A necessary education

JEFF_W, May 2025

If possible, take a private tour. It’s quite an experience and then you can always regroup later with the information. You’ll learn so much take lots of pictures.

Art is the best guide! He was super communicative and worked with us on a great tour plan. He was flexible, punctual, and overall gave an awesome tour. He’s funny, smart, and after our tour ended, we left extremely happy. I cannot recommend touring with Art enough!

Jewish Getto Tour in Prague

Sandra_S, Oct 2021

The guide was extremely knowledgeable about the area that we were touring and he was an excellent docent. He was not aware of what the Viator trip included so we missed two inclusions and one was the highlights of the Polin museum which we wanted to see. We never got there. He did not realize that it was a four hour tour, not three. He did add a destination that was not an inclusion but it was just a photo stop. We ended up touring for four hours but I find it hard to understand that your guides are not knowledgeable about the details of the tours that they are giving. Viator has to do a better job of informing the docent.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Thank you Sandra, I am glad though that we managed to proceed with this short notice booking. We also picked you up from a hotel that was not listed in the offer. Also we will work on improving things you mentioned. Finally, Polin museum exhibition is not listed in the offer as far as it takes 3-4 hours with an audioguide to see it. You did see the museum from the outside as the offer says and were explained the history significance of the near by monuments. Thank you for your booking and visit in Warsaw! :)
