Warsaw: Warsaw Ghetto Private Walking Tour with Hotel Pickup

6. Warsaw: Warsaw Ghetto Private Walking Tour with Hotel Pickup

Experience an informative and impressive tour of the Warsaw Ghetto. The topic of this tour is the history of the establishment and liquidation of the largest ghetto in Europe. In 1940 the Nazis established the ghetto in the heart of Warsaw. Over 400,000 Jews from Warsaw and the surrounding area were crammed in an area of 4 square kilometers. 100,000 people died here from exhaustion, hunger, and disease and more than 300,000 were killed in Treblinka extermination camp. As a result of the attempt to completely liquidate the ghetto, an uprising broke out in 1943. The unequal struggle between the rebels against the armed German troops lasted nearly one month. In revenge, the Nazis completely destroyed the ghetto. It was survived by only a few Jews including Władysław Szpilman, the hero of the movie “The Pianist” by Roman Polanski. Before the Second World War, the second largest Jewish community lived in Warsaw, making up 30 percent of the entire city population. Within less than 3 years, the Jewish community no longer existed in Warsaw. During this 3-hour tour you will explore the real places and hear authentic stories. Discover fragments of the ghetto walls, the last street of the ghetto, and neighborhoods that were located within the ghetto. Visit the only synagogue that survived the Second World War and is still in operation. Find out where the supposed logic of destruction came from and how the plan of the final solution was put into action. Learn about everyday life in the ghetto, why the Jews took up arms, and who helped them. Discover the symbolism of the Umschlagplatz (collection point) and the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes.

olaf, our guide was amazing, I loved everything of this tour. The amount of acknowledge is mind blowing, he is kind and funny. It made my day, I came especially from Krakow for 1 day to visit Warsaw in one short day and it went perfectly as I wanted. It's really nice to stay in the bus and see all the places we'd never been able to see by foot. And something we walked a little, but not too much to make you feel tired. Just the right amount of bus and wamking. You have a chance to go to the toilets for those who are wondering, and you finish the tour bt walk in the old city which is really cute. Olaf gave you the choice to come back to your hotel and stay there and have lunch, and even recommend us a restaurant. Hands down to Olaf and the driver ! Thank you for this amazing tour, I learnt a LOT of the story of Warsaw and Poland.

Olaf was the best !!! Made us feel very comfortable from the beginning of the tour and gave us many helpful information. We totally recommend this tour if you want to have a clear and full image of Warsaw!!!
