I really loved the Jewish heritage tour I took with Magda - it was the second tour I took in Warsaw with Orange Umbrella and I liked both.
Today's tour was very interesting and informative, Magda's explanations exhaustive and precise and supported by many old pictures that helped us understand what happened in Warsaw during WWII. I think that, when you visit Warsaw, you really can't miss a tour like this - otherwise your visit would be incomplete.
Many thanks to Magda for our chat between stops, too - I was curious about a few things more related to the present than the past, and it was interesting to hear her point of view!
