Things to know before joining the Free WWII and Communism tour:

Like all tours, we do not accept large groups (more than 8 people) on this tour, even with separate reservations. Please, check out our FAQ for more info.
Be on time! Please arrive 15 minutes early, as the guide may accept other customers instead.
This tour has a moderate level of walking difficulty (we walk about 4 km with few breaks and seating opportunities), which could pose challenges for elderly individuals or customers with mobility issues. Please consider booking a private tour if this applies to you.
We only accept customers with active reservations! If your reservation is for a different time slot, or a bigger number of people, or if you haven't made a booking, we will ask you to wait till the beginning of the tour and see if there is an available spot for you.
We do not visit the interiors of synagogues because it requires an admission fee and a special guiding permit.
