Poznan rewards a slow look. This private walking tour pairs you with a local guide for 2 to 3 hours, from $28.24 per person, and holds a 5 rating across 116 reviews.
Overview
Three hours with a private guide, on foot, through the parts of Poznan that carry most of its story. AB Poland Travel runs this as a walk for your own group only, with a local guide leading you from the monument of Adam Mickiewicz on Mickiewicza Square to the cathedral on Ostrow Tumski. Along the way you pass the Old Market Square, the historic town hall with its mechanical goats, the Imperial Castle and the June 1956 Events Monument, ending at the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul.
The route spans the city's history from its days as a seat of Polish kings a thousand years ago through to the 20th century. Reviewers repeatedly single out their guides' knowledge, and one reviewer's guide, a Poznan native, added stories about everyday life in the city.
The listing allows a maximum of 10 travellers on the tour, and it states that most travellers can participate.
