The tour guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the time with him and saw many things and heard stories that we would otherwise have missed. The short time in Breslau was used optimally.

A special kind of city tour, which was made interesting, worth knowing and charmingly enriched with anecdotes by the guide Kristina. Just great......
