Amazing experience

Emma_W, Oct 2024
Absolutely fabulous walking tour of the old town. Our guide was so knowledgeable and provided us with such interesting information about the history of Wrocław. I would highly recommend this tour. We really enjoyed the route taken and some of the views taken were breathtaking

Educational tour

Tomomi_Y, Oct 2024

Fully satisfied

Charles_C, Oct 2024
Our tour guide, Sean, is superb! Will strongly recommend him for this tour. He is very thorough, humorous and knowledgeable about the history of this city.

Sean is a great guide!

Dhinesh_B, Sep 2024
Sean was an excellent guide. We do many walking tours and this is the first time we had a guide who communicated so much information in such a quick and interesting way. Two hours zoomed by and we learned so much without feeling overloaded with information. I would definitely recommend Sean, you won’t regret it!

A great tour ruined

Stephen_H, Sep 2024
And it all started so well. Sean conducted what was probably the best walking tour my wife and I have ever been on. He was engaging, knowledgeable and really loved his job. The weather was atrocious but Sean still made the best of it. Everything was ruined when we feel he simply abandoned us outside the Cathedral at tour's end. We hadn't a clue where we were, how to get back to our hotel and Sean didn't really care. We made our way back via Google Maps Sean is an excellent guide but a poor host Pity

Great tour of Wroclaw

Kristina_F, Aug 2024
Sean is an exceptional guide. He is very thorough and knowledgeable, giving us historical context prior to starting our tour. He referred to this brief history lesson throughout the tour. We covered a lot of landmarks and information. Appreciated Sean’s insights and recommendations. Highly recommend.

A Great Introduction to Wroclaw!

Richard_H, Jun 2024
From the beginning of our guide's tour presentation, my wife and I knew we were in for a special time for the next three hours. Our guide, "Sean," had historical pictures, photographs, and maps to assist and support his descriptions of the many places of interest we would encounter along our walk together. As Americans, we were pleased that the Viator assigned tour guide spoke fluent English. Even though we would have to cut the tour short due to unanticipated soreness from a prior all-day tour to one of Poland's famous castles and the Church of Peace (also arranged through Viator), the Wroclaw Old Town Guided Walking Tour was filled with exciting, interesting, and useful information. In our opinion, this tour offers great value for its low price. It is highly recommended!

Michael_V, Aug 2023
Our guide gave us an awesome tour of old town Wroclaw, its monuments, churches, and yes, gnomes. We started in the market square and saw the Bourgeois Art Museum, pillory, old prison, and two of the islands. What was great about this tour was the storytelling we got from our guide. Highly recommended.

Must do in Wroclaw

Myra_L, Jun 2023
This was a great, not that strenuous walking tour of the Old Town. The guide was a brilliant history buff. The history of Wrocław & Silesia is fascinating. We all really enjoyed the coffee/ bathroom break that is so necessary on a walking tour. It was very easy to find your way back. An easy city to walk.

Our guide Shawn made it a memorable experience
