Walking tour of the former Warsaw Ghetto. Providing commentary in your native language, your Private Guide will take you back in time to World War II, the darkest moment in the history of Jewish people in Europe. You will get an insight into what happened to Warsaw during the war and see the Monument to the Warsaw Uprising. Nearby, you’ll find traces of the Warsaw Ghetto boundary markers, where over 400,000 Jews from Warsaw and the surrounding areas were imprisoned in Europe's largest ghetto.
You will learn about hunger, disease and death, but also about the heroism and rebellion of the Jewish people. The tour will pass the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes, which commemorates the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The guide will also show you the Anielewicz Mound at Mila 18, which was a hidden shelter of a Jewish resistance group.
Our walking tour will end at the Umschlagplatz Monument, which marks the departure point for Jews transported to Treblinka Concentration Camp, where more than 300,000 Jewish people died.
Visit the former Warsaw Ghetto and the old Jewish Cemetery in Moranow. For your convenience, we provide tickets for public transport, so you will not have to walk a long distance. This old Jewish Cemetery was established in 1809 and is one of the largest ones in Europe, a resting place for over 200,000 people. The guide will show you the graves of spiritual leaders, political activists, honored creators of Jewish culture and thousands of nameless victims of World War II. See a piece of true Jewish history.
Visit the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, the former Warsaw Ghetto and the old Jewish Cemetery in Muranow. We provide skip-the-line tickets to the POLIN Museum to save you time. This elaborate, modern museum will give you a deeper understanding of the history, culture and heritage of Polish Jews before, during and after the war. Don't miss out on this top-class attraction!

Marzena was a fantastic guide, we really learned a lot and had fun!
The tour could be very interesting but our guide made it slow and disjointed, which made it difficult to follow and hold interest. Our guide went through the WW II part of history very fast and to the old centuries as slow as a turtle... We would recommend the tour, hopefully you have better guide more interactive and eloquent than ours.
Fantastic experience as this visit under a snowstorm in -6° C. Enough to get in the mood. The guide speaks perfect French. His explanations are very clear, he answers questions even when they go beyond the subject. The visit was supposed to last 3 hours, it lasted 6 hours just for my 2 sons and me, it was perfect!!
Bonjour Celine_C, Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire si chaleureux. Transformer une tempête de neige à -6°C en une « expérience fantastique » en dit long ! Nous sommes ravis de savoir que le français courant d’Andrzej et ses explications attentionnées ont rendu la visite aussi riche et personnalisée — surtout lorsqu’elle s’est prolongée bien au-delà de la durée prévue. Ce serait un véritable plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau, vous et votre famille, pour une prochaine découverte avec Rosotravel. Cordialement, L’équipe Rosotravel

Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. We would definitely recommend the tour. We were in a group, but wouldn’t have learned much about the Warsaw uprising and the ghetto if we hadn’t done this separate walk.

we had a private tour, just us and the tour guide and she was wonderful. We both have some physical limitations and move a little slower, but she was so full of excitement and information and actually we really enjoyed our time with her. It was like traveling with a friend!

Our guide was wonderful. Eva had some great stories of her own, and really helped us understand the history. It was a cold walk, which we expected, but anyone who is doing this tour in the winter should definitely be ready for that. The only disappointment was that the POLIN Museum was closed, because it was Tuesday. Eva made up for it, but it seems that the company booking the tour should have made this clearer. We likely would have booked it on a different day, if we'd known. Overall, well worth the time and money to gain some real insight in to the Warsaw Ghetto and the Jewish Cemetery visit was very moving too.
