I would say the walking tour was good. The guide was a local and knowledgeable. It would have been nice to briefly visit the castle inside. Our lunch was after 1530 which for me is too late. It would be better to rearrange the schedule for the short tour first allowing for lunch closer to 1300 and then the walking tour. I'm okay with being given time limits. We chose the Copurnicus museum and one hour was fine. A brief overview of the museum would allow visitors to focus their attention to what would be most interesting to them. Our driver was a very sweet college student. Perhaps some general information about the area could be discussed during the 2+ hour drive.
