My name is Tomek and I have been a tour guide as well as cultural and Polish language coach for about ten years now. Born and bred in Warsaw, I have a deep passion for Polish culture, history and heritage, and I also know my home city inside out. Yes, definitely every district and almost every street. I specialize in "reality tours" showing mainly places off the beaten track and indulging travellers in real Warsaw ambience. I work with single travelers, couples, families, the elderly and the disabled. I can accommodate Warsaw visitors on any budget, and I am able to do day, evening or night tours on any day of the week. Leisure or business, rain or shine! You can be driven in my car or in a hired van, we can have a bicycle or scooter ride, take public transport or walk. I also possess international traveling experience having visited more than 50 countries on most continents, and I do know what travelers look for and what types of places they like sightseeing. School- visits, meeting locals, visiting local bars and markets, cooking tours and courses are just a few I can include on your tour list. Alternatively, please let me know of any special requests you have. Then I will be able to customize the trip according to your interests. Hope to see you in Poland! Tomek I have a university degree in English Literature obtained in 2003, QTS for England and Wales no. 1742174, First Aid Licence and I have also completed a course for Organisers and Leaders of School Trips. I am not able to guide you inside of some historical monuments.

Jewish Warsaw: Heritage, Memory and Personal Stories
Overview of your Warsaw tour
Discover the Jewish heritage of Warsaw on a private 4-hour walking tour focused entirely on the places, stories and people that shaped Jewish life in the city. Explore the former Warsaw Ghetto area, visit the Nożyk Synagogue, see important memorial sites and walk through the historic Jewish Cemetery, one of the most moving places in Warsaw. Along the way, I will share the story of Jewish Warsaw before WWII, the destruction of the community during the Holocaust, and the revival of Jewish life in the city today. For travellers with family roots in Warsaw, the tour can be especially meaningful. I have previously helped guests locate the graves of their ancestors in the Jewish Cemetery, creating deeply personal and memorable moments.

The highlight of our day was going to the Jewish cemetery where my husband's ancestors had been buried. It was nearly impossible to find the 2 headstones in which we were most interested but Tomek was even more determined than were we & suddenly he spotted one that had a distinctive design. The emotional impact was incredible & he was so pleased to have satisfied our great desire to locate an ancestor's grave. He was genuinely devoted to making certain we had a positive experience.

Tomek is an OUTSTANDING guide. He was very kind and thoughtful towards my family and myself. I had two kids with myself, ages 13 and 10. He knew how to engage them. My particular area of interest was Poland's Jewish heritage and WW2. He satisfied my thirst for knowledge way above satisfaction. If you want an intellectually powerful experience, please hire Tomek.
