Mona is an excellent guide, really first class. She gave us a fascinating tour of the former Jewish ghetto in Warsaw. Her knowledge is clearly broad and deep, and she gave us the benefit of it in a way that never seemed as if she had done the same tour dozens of times. It was fresh, vivid, and always interesting, with stops at a variety of interesting sights and memorials to the ghetto, the uprising, and Jewish life in Warsaw of the past. Her English is excellent and she was good company. I wish we had been able to have a second tour with her, but her schedule and ours didn’t allow it. There can’t be a better guide in Warsaw!Excellent tour with Mina

I was privileged to have had a tour on what remained from the Warsaw Jewish Guetto with Mona. This is a tour where there is less to see and much to learn from. Mona has shared lots of useful pieces of information that provided the right context to the sightseeing. Amazing tour in Warsaw

Once again, Mona went above and beyond! She took us around the city and gave us a history of the Jewish community in Warsaw. She took us to sites, showed us pictures and told us many stories full of fascinating and important facts. And although it is a heavy topic, Mona’s tour was full of grace and covered many stories of courage. Thank you Mona!A Fascinating and Important Tour

Mona was a fantastic guide! She created a beautiful tour suitable for two adults and an 18 month old *wild* toddler. She shared a mix of history, culture, playgrounds, AMAZING food recommendations, had time for all of our questions, and somehow we still ended right on time. She was delightful and her tour was a perfect intro to Warsaw. A perfectly tailored tour

Wir hatten mit 10 Personen eine eigene Führung mit Mona. Die Treffpunktbeschreibung war sehr gut, wir konnten pünktlich starten. Mona hat uns sehr viel über Warschau erzählt und gezeigt. Ihr Deutsch war sehr gut zu verstehen, so dass wir viel mitgenommen haben. Mona hat uns auch schon im Vorwege viele nützlich Tipps zu Restaurants und Bars per Mail geschickt, sodass wir rechtzeitig vorab schon Plätze in Restaurants reservieren konnten. Am besten war der Tipp mit PiwPaw BeerHeaven.Mit Mona durch Warschau

It was a real pleasure to meet Mona and spend time with her on a food walk! This is a great starting point to get to know Polish traditional cuisine from pierogi over sweets, soup to vodka. Mona is also super knowledgeable on art and historic details and she was very kind to answer all our questions :-).Fabulous day in Warsaw

Wir hatten in Mona eine tolle Guide, die uns quer durch das Zentrum von Warschau an einige typische und traditionsreiche Orte führte. Neben vielen Antworten auf unsere Fragen, ein bisschen Plauderei und natürlich verschiedenen Speisen und Getränke, angefangen von herzhaften Piroggen über Rote Beete-Suppe, gefüllte Krapfen, jüdisches Gebäck, bis hin zu Wodka-Shots am Ende war alles dabei. Wir können die Tour und natürlich Mona nur wärmstens empfehlen. Wir haben Warschau genossen.

I've been wanting to come to Warsaw to see where my grandmother came from. My grandmother lost many family members to the holocaust which I only learned as an adult through ancestry research, as my grandmother never spoke of the tragedies. Something about Mona spoke to me when I was looking to book a trip. Mona agreed to look at many documents I had with my ancestors addresses in Poland, to personalize the trip. The trip was all I had hoped for, and more. She is smart, warm, knowledgeable beyond belief about Jewish Warsaw and educated my husband and I about events we would've never otherwise understood. I was concerned that the trip would be emotional for me, and it was, but it was made to be sensitive, educational and even fun, albeit the dark subject of what happened to the Jews of Warsaw in World War II. I can't recommend Mona highly enough. Honestly, I'd enjoy spending time with her even without a tour. But, she is the perfect person for someone wanting to learn more, see what matters, enjoy the food, the culture, the people of Warsaw. An amazing experience. Mona is amazing!

Mona was an excellent host. The food choices were a good balance and there was plenty of it! We got to see a lot of sights and learn about the history of Warsaw - Mona was very knowledgeable and gave us great insights. We visited a few of the locations again on our own, and Mona gave us great recommendations for sights, bars, restaurants and shops to visit in our own time. Perfect tour

We booked 2 tours with Mona. The 10 tastings of Warsaw & The Kickstart Tour of Warsaw on two separate days. We were 4 senior friends (2 couples) travelling together. Mona is a great historian and a foodie and she tailored our tour to our needs. Mona was friendly, respectful, knowledgeable and went at our pace. We were very comfortable with Mona and had an engaging tour with her. Mona answered all our questions as well as shared valuable information with us. During our food tour, Mona introduced us to local Polish cuisine and included information about the food, restaurant and its history as well as the history of the area we were in. During our kickstart tour Mona shared valuable information about the history of Warsaw/ Poland and she shared photos of pre war era of specific areas and buildings on her tablet. Unfortunately, the weather turned miserable with rain and heavy cold wind blowing during our tour. Mona escorted us into a building where we were warm and dry and she was able to continue her talk about the history of Warsaw. Mona surpassed all our expectations and we were very happy with our tours on both days. We definitely recommend Mona for tours in Warsaw. Our Introduction to Warsaw

What a day! We were first of all very lucky with the weather, which always helps, but I think Mona would light up the day no matter what weather we would have. Very calm, friendly and patient. Her English is very good and she presented the stories in short and interesting ways. She talked about the history, but also included what the different buildings and areas were used for now. Giving tips on the way to other places to explore later. She never rushed us and made time for toilet breaks and sitting down. Very happy with our tour and will absolutely recommend and have more tours with Mona. Thank you. Educational delight

It was a great experimente. Mona was a wonderful and lovely guide. She respeced the needs of our wide-age-gap group with a child and a greatgrandmother. We tried tasty snaks from streetfoodbars and Restaurants and she told us a lot about living in Warșawa and the newer history. We visited the castle and learned a lot about the medivalhistory in the morning, so I think she adjusted her guidance that way.A knowledgeable and fun tour

Prior to my arrival in Warsaw I had email discussions with Mona about what my desires were in learning the most about Warsaw and how Mona would be able to help. Based on where we were staying Mona created an itinerary using our hotel as the starting point. She was extremely punctual (10 minutes early) and started the tour using our hotel's history as the beginning of the tour. She then brought us to all of the most wonderful sights of Warsaw and concluded with the history and current trends of Warsaw. Her tour gave us EXACTLY what we had asked for. I HIGHLY recommend Mona to anyone and everyone that wants to be escorted through the city of Warsaw with an extremely professional, friendly, highly educated, and very proud Warsovian.MONA IS THE BEST!!!

Spending time with Mona was like spending time with a long lost friend. She knew so much about the food as well as history of Warsaw. The time went by so fast and her food choices were superb. Please make sure you arrive hungry. You will get a great walking tour with a lot of hidden history as well as great hidden gems of local food. Did I say the food was out of this world. We walked and ate. Walked and ate. You will leave full and satisfied. Dont miss this tour.

Unsere spezifizierte Tour mit Mona war ein Highlight in unseren Polen-Ferien. Sie hat uns nebst den Sehenswürdigkeiten viel spnnendes erzählt. Wir haben auch 3 Tasting Stopps in typisch polnischen Lokalitäten (keine Touri Restaurants) eingebaut und diese waren auch fantastisch. Wir würden jederzeit sofort wieder mit Mona eine Tour buchen. Sie ist eine charmante, freundlich und sehr hilfsbereite Person.Super Local Guide Mona

We had the best time with Mona. Not only is she very knowledgeable about Warsaw you can tell she loves what she does. I would highly recommend Mona for any of your tour needs.

We had a wonderful tour with Mona through the city center of Warsaw. Mona was so friendly and knew everything about her home city. She told us funfacts about Warsaw as well as historical facts. The food choice was amazing and helped us to get to know the polish kitchen. As my girlfriend is vegetarian, Mona chose in advance only vegetarian option, thabk you for that! Also very nice was that she showed us only spots which were not in the normal touristic area, so that we really could see Warsaw from its propper side. Time ran by so fast, it was a great pleasure meeting you, Mona! Great food tour
