An amazing day with a wonderful guide

The tour was wonderful. It was a tour that included a narration of Poznań’s history. I definitely recommend it.

One of the best ways to see and learn about Poznan

Our guide was good and had interesting information. His use of the drone was an added feature. He was also able to provide my husband with two websites that may help my husband find out more about his ancestors. After fifteen years of searching for information, this was exciting news for my husband.

Brilliant tour

The tour with Mateusz was excellent. He brought to life the history of Poznan and Poland, as well as showing us all the important landmarks. He was engaging and clearly knew his stuff. If you're visiting Poznan I would highly recommend this tour. It even includes a drone!!!

Poznan Cathedrale and Old Town tour

The guide was on time at the meeting point. He shared a lot of interesting facts and details. The tour lasted two hours as planned. We finished at the main old square just in time to see the goat show. I can recommend this tour to all visitors who want to learn Poznan history.
