Worthwhile Excursion from Wrocław - Very nice experience. We were picked up from our hotel and driven to the castle and were able to skip the lines. The audio guide is interesting as it can sense which room you are in and tells you where to go. The caste is very impressive and so are the grounds. We also visited the Church of Peace and I was very impressed with the inside and the great restoration work. Happy that we booked this trip. We were picked up at 9am and were done by 3pm

Excellent guide, beautiful tour - Our tour was such a treat! Our guide Michal picked us up at our hotel on a minivan that was comfortable and spacious for our party of 5. Polish scenery was beautiful, and Michal’s commentaries on historical background of the sites brought Polish history to life for us. It was extremely fortunate to have Michal as our guide. He is definitely very professional and offered us a range of fascinating information on Polish history and culture. He also possesses a quirky, refreshing sense of humor. We had a truly unforgettable tour and we recommend it wholeheartedly.

Great tour of the Church of Peace and Ksiaz Castle - We were a group of 40 people and our tour guide Michal managed to make each and everyone of us feel happy, entertained and informed. Michael is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. He was prepared to talk about any topic and answered all of our questions in detail. Michal was even answering questions that had nothing to do with the tour. He was funny, informative and kind.

A must see in Wroclaw! - The Ksaiz Castle and Church of Peace is a must see when in Wroclaw. We were only in town for 2days and this was definitely the best part of it. So much history and such a beautiful castle. Martin is very knowledgeable of the history of the area and pleasant to talk to. The tour is private so it’s only for you group which is nice. :) If you’re going in Autumn, make sure you bring your jacket while inside the castle because it’s cold and the tour will lead you out of the castle to see the garden. Carry cash if you want souvenirs as they didn’t accept card when we went.
