Justyne was pleasant informative adding her own family anecdotes to add interest. Easy walking tour with brief toilet break. Recommended
The tour was excellent and very informative. Would recommend and our tour guide, Suzie was friendly/knowledgeable
Matt was a great tour guide. I knew a wealth of information about the Polish and German history of gorgeous Wroclaw!
This is an excellent walking tour and a great way to get oriented in a city. We met at Monument to Aleksander Fredro Statue Market Square, It covered an introduction to the city and its history, by covewring the historic Centre of Wrocław - Old Town and Ostrów Tumski area. Well worth doing this tour.
Very informative. Different to other walking tours we have done. This focuses on recent history rather than pointing out sites to visit, although these were mentioned. Guide was personally invested in the narrative which made it interesting.
Very well explained by the guide, it was very pleasant for us
Our tour guide Lukas presented the highlights of Wrocław to us in very good English. He also provided us with a lot of information about the history, as well as the land and its people.
Tour was a good pace and covered major attractions. Guide was friendly, knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. We had our 4 year old granddaughter with us and she was fine. She even surprised us by commenting on something said on the tour the next day.
Our guide Lukasz presented the history and main attractions of Wroclaw to us in perfect English. Thus, we gained a great impression of this vibrant city with a rich history.
The actual tour was really good and our tour guide Justine, was extremely knowledgeable and informative. The problem we had was finding the tour. We waited by the monument specified but were unable to locate the group. We were not aware of what the tour group would be called and nobody came up to the monument to look for us. We did therefore miss the first 30 minutes of the tour. At the end, we were told that it was a 'free' walking tour and that we could contribute to the guide voluntarily. However, we had already paid £77-56! We felt extremely annoyed and embarrassed about this.
