Your guide will lead you through the camp, pausing at significant locations to share the harrowing stories of the victims, the perpetrators, and the few survivors who managed to escape the horrors of Treblinka. You’ll stand in the shadows of the gas chambers, where hundreds of thousands of innocent lives were tragically taken, and you’ll bear witness to the memorial sites that honor the memory of those who perished.

Throughout the tour, your guide will provide a comprehensive historical context, ensuring that you gain a deeper understanding of the events that transpired at these sites.

Could not have had a better guide. Unfortunately I’ve forgotten her name but she was very knowledgeable regarding Treblinka and put me in touch with another great guide at The Wolfs Lair. Spent 8 plus hours driving the auto. Whatever she was paid for her time, it’s not enough. L Tracey

Visiting Treblinka is a moving and sombre experience. It’s difficult to comprehend what happened here but its important to understand and never forget. The wolf’s lair was also interesting particularly if you’re into world war 2 history. It’s a long day as the sights are far but a worthwhile endeavour.

Wojtek was our guide and he was amazing. His level of knowledge was excellent. He made the trip so much more meaningful. Our guide at Wolf’s Lair was also hilarious and very knowledgeable. Definitely a must-do experience. Just remember to pack lunch and snacks for on the way as time is tight.

Our tour guide Wojtek who drove us throughout the day and guided us around Treblinka, also during our lengthy travel time kept us informed of numerous historical and geographical facts. Highlight of the day had to be the Wolf’s Lair made all the better by our personal tour guide Jadwiga Korowaj, fantastic knowledge and a real pleasure to be with for the 2+ hours we were there.
