Discover remnants of Warsaw’s deep Jewish history on this three-hour private tour by retro minibus, offering a comprehensive experience beyond the scope of typical on-foot tours. It includes key parts of the Jewish Ghetto and recounts the 1943 Uprising narrative, featuring major locations such as the Jewish Ghetto Heroes memorial along with lesser-known spots that lie off the tourist track.
Before WWII, Warsaw was the second-most important Jewish city globally, second only to New York City. However, the war brought devastation as Nazis razed the Jewish district and much of Warsaw. The tour features numerous noteworthy points of interest including Grzybowski Square, Prozna Street, remnants of the ghetto wall, Umschlagplatz, Mila 18, the POLIN museum vicinity, and the Janusz Korczak monument. The option to visit the Synagogue and Cemetery is available based on your preferences. Although the private tour is customizable to your interests, you can trust the guide’s expertise in planning, experience, and historical insight.
