Old Wroclaw Tour with Mikhal - This tour is excellent.
And, it helps if you have a knowledgeable tour guide with excellent English skills and an exceptionally witty personality.
Which we did have with Mikhal, or Michael - you choose!
This tour is well worth doing.
You will be glad that you did it.
Oh! And Wroclaw is wonderful

Great experience 👍🏻 - I had the pleasure of joining a Old Town Wrocław — Tour in English 🇬🇧 with Walkative, led by (Me-How ;) and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Mr Michał's deep knowledge and passion for the area’s history truly brought the past to life. Mr Michał is an outstanding historical tour guide. He blend of expertise, storytelling ability, and interactive approach ensures a memorable and enriching experience for anyone interested in history. He also tought us how to pronounce 'Wrocław' ! I highly recommend Mr Michałor for anyone looking to explore and understand the rich historical of the Wroclaw.

Informative tour of the old town - Very informative guided tour of the old town of Wroclaw with our guide, Michal, who captivated our attention by giving us lots of information about the city and its history. The pace was pleasant and the short 15 minute break halfway through was appreciated. This was my third guided tour with Walkative and I was not disappointed.

Engaging and well paced your - Michael provided a really interesting 2.5hr tour - interweaving history with fun anecdotes and a very balanced and thoughtful story of the turbulent history that shaped the city. It covered many of the sites I wanted to see and I left feeling well informed and much more appreciative of what Wroclaw had to offer. Highly recommended!

A guy who was part of Wroclaw history - Łucasz was very knowledgeable, trustworthy and concise about his speech. His family history adds attractiveness to his job. Everything was good, but he could be more emotional and expressive and bring more humor to his tours. Anyway, very recommended.
