A private walk through Poznan with a local guide, covering the Old Town highlights at your own pace, from $28.24 per person.
Overview
Two hours with a local guide from Go2Poznań, walking the centre of Poznań with only your own group along. The route strings together the Old Market Square, the Fara Church, the Royal Castle and its rose garden, Liberty Square and the Cathedral of St Peter and Paul, mixing the well known sights with places many visitors walk straight past. Rather than a lecture on dates, the format leans on anecdotes, and the guide takes questions throughout.
The pace is set by the group, not the clock, which makes it a good fit for first-time visitors who want an efficient introduction without joining a crowd. It is private, wheelchair and pushchair accessible, and service animals are allowed. Reviews repeatedly mention two things: guides who are easy to talk to and open to questions, and a steady stream of restaurant and food recommendations that people actually used afterwards.
Guides here are described as knowledgeable and easy to talk to, with at least one reviewer noting fluent German. Entry to most stops is free, though the Royal Castle and the Cathedral of St Peter and Paul are listed without admission included, so factor those in if you want to go inside.

What To Expect From The Tour
This is a private walking tour of the city centre, so the practical demands are modest, but a few things are worth knowing before you book.
- Private format. Only your group takes part, so the pace and topics flex to what you want. Several reviewers said their guide reshaped the tour around their interests, from 20th-century history to restaurant tips.
- Ask questions. The listing invites questions about Poznań, food and life in Poland generally. Reviewers regularly came away with restaurant and local cuisine recommendations, with one mentioning the St Martin's croissant.
- Language. The listing does not state which languages tours run in. Two reviewers happened to mention German-speaking guides, so German-speaking groups can ask about availability when booking.
- Extra entry fees. Most stops are free to enter, but the Royal Castle and the Cathedral of St Peter and Paul are listed with admission not included. Check on the day if you want to enter either.
- Accessibility. The tour is wheelchair and pushchair accessible, with accessible surfaces and transport nearby. Service animals are allowed, and the listing says most travellers can participate.
- Comfort and pace. The listing says there is no need to rush, with your pace setting the tone for the tour. One reviewer described the route as short walks between stops, so the walking itself stays undemanding.
Common issues. One German-language reviewer noted that the two-hour version covers the highlights only, and that anyone wanting to see the whole city should book the longer option, so temper expectations about depth of coverage. Two of the six stops do not include admission, which can add cost if you want to enter. One reviewer reported being met at their hotel, but the listing does not promise hotel pickup, so confirm the meeting point on the booking page before you go. Cancellations inside the final 24 hours receive no refund, and changes within that window are not accepted either.

What is included in the price?
A professional local guide for a private tour of your own group only. The listing does not carry an itemised list of exclusions, but admission at the Royal Castle and the Cathedral of St Peter and Paul is marked as not included.
How long does the tour last?
The booked option runs for 2 hours. The operator also offers longer versions, but the standard booking covers the main landmarks and a few quieter spots in that window.
Where does the tour start?
The listing does not specify a fixed meeting point, and while one reviewer was collected at their hotel, that is not a stated guarantee. Check the meeting details on the live booking page after confirmation, which is sent at the time of booking.
Is the tour suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs?
Yes. The listing states the tour, the transport and the surfaces are wheelchair accessible, pushchairs are fine, and service animals are allowed. Public transport is also nearby.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Within that window no refund is given and changes are not accepted, with cut-off times based on local time in Poznań.
Will the guide recommend restaurants?
Yes, this comes up in the listing and in several reviews. Travellers said they used the food tips the same evening, and one reviewer mentioned learning about the St Martin's croissant during the walk.
