Poznan private tailor made tour with a local guide-driver
★ 57 traveller reviews
A private, tailor-made tour of Poznan with a local who both guides and drives, so the route bends to your interests rather than a fixed schedule. Time it around the noon goat show at the Town Hall, then head further afield to spots group tours rarely reach. You set the pace and the stops.
See Poznan your way with a private guide-driver who shapes the route around what you want, from the Old Town to sights further out.
Overview
This three-hour private tour runs on a simple idea: instead of walking between districts, you travel between them by private car. Your licensed guide-driver collects you from whichever point in the city you choose, then the route is shaped around what you actually want to see.
The standard arc takes in the Imperial Castle, Ostrów Tumski island and its Gothic Cathedral of St Peter and Paul, the Old Market Square, and the Fara Church of St Stanislaus. Along the way the guide covers the city's history, its culture and its people, and the listing invites you to say up front what interests you most so the route can bend toward it. Entrance to the cathedral is not included in the tour price.
Because only your group takes part, the pace and the questions stay yours, and you can shape the sightseeing around what you are particularly interested in. Note that the tour is not wheelchair accessible, and infant seats are available.

What To Expect From The Tour
A few practical points will help you get the most out of this tour before you book.
Say what interests you. The tour is advertised as tailor-made, so the route can flex around your interests. The listing tells you to tell your guide what you are particularly interested in, so raise it at the start of the tour.
Cathedral ticket. The cathedral entry costs 7 PLN per person and is not included in the tour price. Budget for it separately so the 45-minute stop is not cut short.
Private pace. Only your group participates, so there is no waiting for strangers or hurrying to keep up. The car transfers between stops also cut the walking down to what happens at each stop itself.
Near public transport. The listing notes the tour is near public transportation. The pickup point itself is one you choose.
Accessibility limits. The listing states the tour is not wheelchair accessible. If anyone in your group has limited mobility, check with the operator before booking.
Infant seats. Infant seats are available. The listing says most travellers can participate.
Common issues. The listing itself flags the main limits. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, the cathedral entry fee of 7 PLN per person is paid separately, and confirmation only arrives within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability, so last-minute plans may not be locked in immediately. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the start time get no refund, and changes inside that window are not accepted.
