World War II & Jewish Wroclaw Tour by Walkative!
Join a fascinating historic tour through the Jewish Quarter and discover disturbing stories from the Second World War and the history of Jewish people in Wrocław.
Things to do World War II & Jewish Wroclaw Tour by Walkative!
History of Jewish community in Wrocław is almost as old as the capital of Silesia. It had a huge impact on Judaism, especially its liberal branch. It wouldn't be possible to describe modern Judaism without mentioning Abraham Geiger od Zacharias Frankel, both of whom lived in Wrocław. Join our Free Walking Tour to hear this fascinating, 800 years long story, full of charm, wisdom and pursue happier balance and identity. During the tour we will see first places, where Jewish people lived, we will discover why they were banned from the city in late Middle Ages and how smart was the method they used to return to the capital of Silesia. We will make a trip around the Jewish quarter, that is now famous as “Quarter of four denominations”, to see how this district emerged from a suburb to the most popular neighbourhood in Wrocław. We shall talk about heroes and villains, rejected love as well as patriotism. If you would like to know, how many Jews became heroes in the German army, why Jews were banned from the city in Middle Ages, hear the story of a Jew who invented Cyclon B or the bravest insurgent of II world war, who volunteered to Auschwitz, you cannot miss our FREE walking TOUR!

“Excellent!”
Lukas was a wonderful guide. We did two tours with him and both were completely different. Almost no repition. We learned a tremendous amount about life in Wroclaw during World War 2, as well as Jewish life in and outside the city walls for centuries. We highly recommend him and Walkative Tours

“Excellent tour and best guide in Poland”
The tour was very interesting and helped us to better understand Wrocław and its history.
Justyna is the best guide we have had in our 2 week trip through Poland.
On top of her perfect Spanish, she knows all the facts & details about Wrocław.

“Nothing new”
The guide tried hard, but it looked like she knew nothing more than a basic general history content. We don't even know her name, maybe she was not a real guide.

“Useless if you expect II World War, as it is described”
Guide Michael talked very little about II World War, the tour was really most of time about jewish history, so a bit disappointing because we were expecting more information about the war

“Outstanding World War II & Jewish Wroclaw Free Walking Tour”
I recently had the privilege of taking the World War II & Jewish Wroclaw Free Walking Tour and it exceeded all expectations. Our tour guide was exceptional, providing us with a wealth of knowledge and insight into the historical significance of Wroclaw during World War II and its Jewish heritage. The guide's passion and engaging storytelling made the tour truly captivating. The tour itself was well-structured, covering key sites and hidden gems. It was both educational and emotionally moving. I left with a deeper understanding of the city's history. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Wroclaw – it's a must-see experience!

“An interesting tour with a lot of Information ”
We liked the Tour with Adam. At First we were a little bit afraid for the tour in english, because our english is not perfect. But Adam is a good guide. His pronounciation ist clear. Only he speeks little bit fast. But it is okay, we could follow him. The input was very interesting. We can recomend the tour with Adam.

“A really interesting and okay accessible tour ”
We enjoyed the tour with Michael very much.
Regarding accessibility (our perspective: I am a wheelchair user, my friend with whom I travel is Deafblind with hearing aids)
- Please note that route doesn't qualify as accessible for people with reduced mobility. The main issue was very nasty cobblestone. However, the guide really tried to assure that I as a wheelchair user could take part without having too hard of a time. For instance, he always chose a way with flat curbs and if the cobblestone was too bad, so many people offered their help without forcing it upon me. There weren't any stairs we had to navigate.
- the guide didn't just say "Here you see this building" but also described what the building looked like. And he didn't just point in a direction saying "There is a building" but described the direction (all of this is relevant for blind people and those with impaired vision)
- Upon hearing that we don't hear that well the guide really spoke up during the tour and tried his best to speak clearly...
- There were no pauses included although we would have added one if necessary (the guide told us that at the beginning)
Our conclusion: given the rather inaccessible route, we as disabled people had a good time.

“Not what I expected”
There were three people in the tour and the tour guide decided to include some other information since we had enough time. I don‘t know if that was the reason the red thread was missing. Only sporadically there was a historical timeline, but Programme was more driven by the itinerary through the inner city. Also I would have preferred if the guide had included some historical footage (old photographs etc.) to show the former situation. So I would have felt lost if I weren‘t a historian.

“Poor”
I've been very fortunate to have been able to visit many European cities and in each place have joined a tour.
This was by far the least informative especially given Wroclaw was part of Germany in the past.
Yes we were shown the synagogue, told about Crystal Night, freedom square but I felt very unsatisfied and would have left if it hadn't appeared rude.
Just to add I enjoyed the guide, it was just lack of content that frustrated me.

“Constructive comments”
The tour sites were very interesting, but the organization was poor since the group was way to big for a tour without personal listening devices. It was very hard to hear the guide. Adam tried to do his best to present a thorough overview of the topic, but he spoke too fast and was hard to hear and understand.
