Meet Your Guide

Wojtek
For more than 25 years, I have guided visitors through Warsaw and Poland, creating private, research-driven experiences that bring history vividly to life. My tours go beyond the standard itinerary, transforming everyday streets, buildings, and landscapes into places where history unfolded.

With a background in Geography and over a decade of specialising in World War II Warsaw, I design each tour around carefully researched locations, historical timelines, and significant anniversaries. Every route is planned to provide historical accuracy, geographical context, and meaningful storytelling.

I have also spent the last decade leading educational programmes on Polish political and wartime history for German audiences, conducting all tours fluently in both English and German.

Using thousands of archival photographs, military maps, original documents, films, and historical plans displayed on a tablet, I recreate the city as it once was. Standing at the exact locations where events occurred, guests experience powerful "then and now" comparisons that transform history into an immersive journey.

My specialties include World War II Warsaw, the Warsaw Ghetto, the Warsaw Uprising, Jewish history, Operation Bagration, Treblinka, Majdanek, Wolf's Lair, Konewka and Jeleń Railway Bunkers family heritage research, battlefield tours, and fully customised historical itineraries supported by archival research.

As the author of hundreds published articles on Polish heritage and history, I combine academic precision with engaging storytelling to create experiences that are informative, personal, and memorable.

Every tour is personally conducted by me and can be arranged with either a comfortable sedan or a spacious van, depending on the size of your group and your travel preferences.

Fluent in English and German, I offer 100% private tours, ensuring a truly unique and personalized perspective on Warsaw's profound past. My expertise is built on a 25-year archive.
