I was the only guest on a snowy midweek tour. Shawn (native English speaker) was a superb guide, very well prepared, informative, impressive knowledge of Polish history. A great introduction to Wroclaw. I felt sorry for the huge groups on the free tour whose guide sounded robotic., when I had such an interactive tour

We really enjoyed our guided city tour. We were taken to all the main sights in the city. Not only was the historical and art-historical background explained in a very appealing way, but one or two anecdotes were also included. We recommend this really good tour without reservation and wish you a lot of fun!

Our guide Sean was very knowledgeable about the history of Wroclaw and knew a lot of details. We have learned a lot and had a great time. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to visit significant sites in the city and learn about the history of each of them.
