Excellent tour, a good mix of history and interesting notes about Wroclaw. A good distance covered over the old town but at a suitable pace for the whole group to feel comfortable with.

Full description

History of Wroclaw is long and complex. To understand it, you need to dive into the past of over 1000 years. The city is called Microcosm by professor Norman Davies due to being a part of different countries and its location in the middle of Europe. Davies said that everything, what happened in Europe, at some point happened in Wrocław as well: wars and religious struggle, wealth of trade city, Nazis and WWII with almost total annihilation of the city, becoming a part of communist block to final jump into freedom over 25 years ago. Modern Wrocław is one of fastest developing cities in Europe with rich culture and open, welcoming people. If you want to find out how all of this happened, simply join our tour!

As always, Walkative did not disappoint - Justyna (our guide for the day) was very knowledgeable, seemed to love what she is doing and, as it is the norm with Walkative guides (for some reason 😊), she had an excellent sense of humor! She was also very kind enough to give us great recommendations for places to visit, where to eat and drink and what else there is to do in the city, depending on how many days we were staying. The route of the tour seem very easy-going as well (I believe that this is due to both that the guide was excellent, but also because she had good material to work with - a very beautiful and unique city indeed). I cannot recommend this tour enough - it is exactly how walking tours should be (we have been in a lot around the world ad trust me when I say that). A great thanks to Justyna, again, for the excellent time and experience she gave us, from start (market square) to finish (cathedral island).
