It costs from $31.47 per person and keeps its focus tight on the old town. This page lays out what the tour covers, how the price compares with other options, and who it suits best.

Overview

This walk starts on Cathedral Island, the oldest settled part of Poznan, and works its way forward through Polish history from the Stone Age to the era when the city thrived in the fifteenth century. The guide meets your group in front of the main entrance to the Cathedral of St Peter and Paul, where the entry ticket is already covered by the tour. Inside, the group looks at art spanning Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque and Classicist styles, and visits the Golden Chapel, the burial place of the first Polish monarchs.

From there the route crosses Jordan Bridge and continues to the Fara Church, the parish church of St Stanislaus. The walk finishes in the Old Market Square, among the colourful townhouses, with the City Hall and the Royal Castle pointed out from outside. The end point is the Old Town Hall on Stary Rynek.

Because this is a private tour, only your own group takes part. The listing states that most travellers can participate and that the route is wheelchair and pushchair accessible. Several reviewers highlight the drone video recorded over Cathedral Island and the city landmarks as a standout part of the experience.
