The knowledge and pride in Polish history that my tour guide demonstrated throughout the walking tour ranks as one of the best tours I’ve been on in Europe. A mix of history through Medieval Poznan, renaissance, and onwards. Great tour

Our tour guide was excellent and very friendly. She was very informative and told us lots about the history of Poznań. She also suggested places to visit and good places to go to eat, all of which was much appreciated.

Fantastic tour for myself and friends, we would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get to know the history and good places to go.
