It's hard to express how phenomenal Monika was. She took my parents on a personalized tour of Jewish Warsaw, Treblinka and a shtetl and they said it was mind blowing. My dad's quote was that he has learned about the Holocaust his entire life and he learned more in the hours with Monika than he had ever learned. She brought to life personal stories and details and married the statistics and the emotion. My parents then joined a high end tour company and they said Monika was significantly better.

My time in Warsaw could not have been better, thanks to Monika! What amazed me most was her encyclopedic knowledge of Warsaw and, more importantly, the depth of her feelings -- her pride and enthusiasm about the way in which the city was rebuilt following WWII and her compassion for the victims of the German occupation, the Ghetto Uprising and the Warsaw Uprising -- even after having given so many tours. Please do yourself a favor and book a tour with Monika: you'll be glad you did!

Monika is really good, one of the best trips ever
EURO 2012, Gdansk, Poland
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you very much. This trip was real pleasure. I have had lots of fun and enjoyed it very much. We have visited more places than an average person in Poland visits in 30/40 years - enough to say - we have made around 4000 km crossing Poland. And what is most important - SPAIN WON:-)Thank you so very much for this wonderful days we spent together!

As a travel agent, I am always interested in establishing relationships with outstanding guides. Monika is one of those special people! She is very personable, understanding of limitations, and so knowledgeable. We learned so much about both Jewish and general history on our full day tour. The 5 of us thoroughly were captivated by her stories and animation. She had a large, comfortable van for us and the driver was friendly and cautious. I would not hesitate to recommend Monika and will to my clients.

Monika was just terrific. If there was a 6th star she would get it. She has a great passion for touring. Her English is excellent. Her fund of knowledge is extraordinary. She even extended our tour at no extra charge because she felt there still were sites that we must see. She is a gem!

Monika is one of the most knowledgeable guides I have ever had. But first and foremost, she truly understood my reason for been there and made sure to fulfill all my expectations, even after the tour was finished. She is a great professional also because she knows very well how to deal with extremely sensitive historical issues of great sentimental value. I strongly recommend her services.

Monica has an incredible wealth of factual and historical knowledge. She could answer all questions not only specifically, but within the broader European context as well. She is warm and welcoming, and has a great sense of humour. Professional and relaxed, her name is "the magic word" according to others in the tourism field. The forest walk was wonderful and a necessary diversion from the busy town, and the short hike up to a view point was well worth it. Highly recommended.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Jack, It was a great pleasure to spend this day with you and your Daughter. Thank you very much! All the best! Monika
