This was a very good tour it lasted 2 hours during which our guide who spoke fluent English filled our heads with tons of information and history . The food offered was a great typical polish dish of pork tartare. We visited 3 bars drinking vodka and beer as we went Overall great fun and such a nice man

The guide was amazing and patient. We were 30 m late for meeting point. It was too cold and the kids were very small so it was a challenge. Next time we will split up and surely enjoy it much better.
