The Perfect Walking Tour
DoctorEsther, May 2026
This walking tour was one of the best walking tours I have ever been on. We had such a great time and learned a lot from Olivia. She tailored our tour based on what we were interested in, which included a delicious dessert break, deep conversations about religion and hope, and lots of laughs. There were just 5 of us and Olivia, and we ended as such good friends. Olivia brought a binder of photos to compare with how everything looks like today, which was super interesting and helpful. Her knowledge was excellent and she made the tour an interactive story. Thank you so much Olivia and to those interested in the best Jewish Ghetto Warsaw tour, you must choose this!
Olivia is an excellent tour guide.
