We would highly recommend the free walking tours. We have been on both in Warsaw and krakow. Guides have excellent knowledge and history of the areas. To be honest we did not bother with the Warsaw ghetto because there is virtually nothing left, it has been knocked down and built on. Our guide said the same.

There was plenty to see in Krakow of the ghetto. We also took a trip to auschwitz birkenau with Krakow shuttle who were excellent, picked us up from hotel, in mini bus, English speaking also English speaking guide at camps and brought back to hotel very good price. Tickets bought over internet, worked well.

We found there are many fluent English speakers in Warsaw, and among the guides we met most were so as well. Check out the Orange and Yellow Umbrella free walking tours that originate/ meet and in the Old City center every day of the year - they have tours to the previous Ghetto area, Synagogue, Mila 18, Umslagsplatz, Polin Museum location, etc. with excellent explanations. We had a superb English speaking guide (mid December 2018).

Many of the tours use headsets with English as an option. Private tours are best for former Ghetto sites.

we just booked a tour with one of the main tour companies....they ask which language you speak. It was no problem at all.
