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.

We enjoyed learning about the history of charming Wroclaw while a bit off the beaten path. Absolutely recommend!
