Conrad was great. Knowledgeable and accommodating. Six hour tour of Jewish and secular Warsaw exceeded our expectations.

Super interesting tour. A lot of historical insight with a personal touch. The guide was able to show us Warsaw history through the eyes of an insider. He was incredibly knowledgeable and super friendly. Highly recommend!

Conrad was very kind and patient. He spent time answering our questions about the history and timeline of the Jewish ghetto. I also appreciate his perspective about the advatages and disadvantages of developing versus restoring historic sites. Of all my many tours over the past ten days, Conrad’s was the most thorough and thought provoking.

It was a very entertaining tour. Driving through Warsaw in the Zuk (old car) was a real experience; enjoyed it very much. Our guide, Konrad, showed us some great parts of Warsaw that we wouldn't have found ourselves. He gave us so much information about the city and even catered to our individual needs. I highly recommend this tour.

Warsaw Behind the Scenes is a very apt title for this tour. Our guide Marcin used the architecture of old town Warsaw and even the rubble of the ghetto as a timeline for the historical events of the city. Instead of just a recitation of names and dates, Marcin explained WHY these events occurred, a story more pragmatic and realistic than romanticized accounts. He also used an album of archival photographs from recent times that helped make history more immediate for us today. Marcin obviously loves his city and wants to tell its story to others so that it can continue to endure in peace.
