Had a great 2.5 hour tour with Sean! He is very knowledgeable about Wroclaw and we found out many things we didn’t know beforehand. This town has a very unique history we are happy we took the time to learn about. We did it first thing the day after we landed which allowed us to orient ourselves better for walking later on. Sean recommended some restaurants for us which did not disappoint. Thanks for a great morning!We had the benefit of being in a small group of 3 so we got the full benefit of Sean’s expansive knowledge of Wroclaw and its history. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to get a feel for the city.
