About This Tour
This private tour is designed for travelers with a strong interest in the history of World War II. Traveling through Warsaw in a retro Żuk minibus, you’ll explore the city’s wartime story in chronological order—from the outbreak of the war and the Nazi occupation, through resistance and uprisings, to the dramatic consequences WWII brought to Poland and Europe. You’ll visit places where history is still visible in the urban landscape: buildings marked by bullet holes and ricochets, preserved fragments of the Jewish Ghetto wall, and hidden mounds of rubble that silently testify to the scale of destruction. Stories shared by your guide are supported by archival photographs, allowing you to compare the past with the present and better understand how the city once looked. Traveling by vintage Żuk minibus adds a unique historical dimension, turning this experience into a journey through time rather than a standard sightseeing tour.
