III Reich & WW2 in Wroclaw. Monday, Wendsday, Friday regular tour
Description
Wroclaw is an unique, beautifull place with the amazing history. Since 2007 when I started to guide I noticed that people love to listen to my WW2 stories. On this tour you will see all highlights of Old Town but stories the guide will share with you will be related to Nazi era and siege time. The siege of Wroclaw was a very dramatic and special time. This city gave up 4 days after Berlin did so its story is really fascinating. Join my tour!

Very knowledgeable and interesting guide, mikael. Very clear voice. Interesting stories of ww2 and wroclaw
The walking tour was really interesting, Michal was very informative and had a great knowledge of this period in time and answered all our questions. I would highly recommend this tour if you are interested in history
This was both nformative and interesting, not only about the experiences of the people of Breslau (now Wlochlaw) in WW2 but also providing detailed stories of the siege itself and the extraordinary resilience of the population, plus the wider tragic fate of the Jewish people, It made me ponder as to what I would have done faced with such a situation. This tour is highly recommended.
Well paced walking trip taking us to areas we had not yet seen. Guide was very knowledgeable and introduced us to some fascinating topics. We left with an interest and enthusiasm to read further.
We covered many points of interest led by a guide who was amazing in his knowledge. This is his city and he loves it. He kept us on the move and you have to hustle at times, but then ample time was taken at each site to cover thoroughly. He always sure things were clear for the group and welcomed questions. Nice if he did this tour more than M-W-F. Highly recommended!
Michal was great! Really informative and interesting. Great way to spend a few hours learning about the WW2 history of Wroclaw.
Really good tour if you’re interested in the history of Wroclaw during WWII. I learned a lot about what happened here before, during and after WWII. Michal was vey good. He knows his history of the area.
Michał Filarowski is an excelent guide. The trip was initially scheduled to 1PM, however he had to change to 2PM, which was actually good, because at 1PM was raining. He knows most of the city and WW2 backgound. If you are keen in history, this is a must do trip.
I enjoyed the tour and being able to walk around the city while being able to see with my own eyes what happened at or near each spot. The guide was excellent, funny and helpful.
Mikhail was an excellent tour guide, well informed and knowledgeable and made the tour really interesting. Thank you - from the Irish guys....
