Our Story

Why Choose Our Tours?

We’re not just tour guides — we’re storytellers passionate about sharing Warsaw’s incredible history

On this tour, we explore one of the most important chapters in the history of Warsaw and European Jewry. More than 80 years ago, Warsaw became the site of one of the largest Jewish tragedies in the world. Before the war, the city was home to the second largest Jewish population in any urban center.

Walking through the former Warsaw Ghetto, you will learn about the lives of the people who lived here, the culture they built, and the courage they showed during the darkest moments of history. Through personal stories, historic locations, and meaningful memorials, the Jewish Heritage Tour offers a deeper understanding of the past.

Memory is all we have — and this tour keeps those memories alive.

Goska was an incredible guide. She was extremely knowledgeable about the area and answered all of our questions with enthusiasm and great detail. I would highly recommend booking with Orange Umbrella if you’re looking for a free waking tour in Warsaw! - the Californian… oops I mean Canadian 🫢

Our tour of the Old Town Warsaw with Peter was absolutely fantastic! His depth of knowledge about the city's history, especially its incredible resilience and rebuilding after the war, was truly impressive. He brought every story to life with an amazing sense of humor and made the whole experience both educational and incredibly entertaining. Peter's recommendations were also spot-on, and his passion for Warsaw is infectious. I highly recommend taking a tour with him!
