"Wrocław Through Ages" - Old Town & Cathedral Island walking tour
My name is Maciej, I'm 39 years old and I live in a magnificent and undiscovered pearl - Wrocław. I've been showing the city around for over 13 years now and I never get bored while doing that :) Every time I enter Old Square my face smiles. And I want to show you why :) I'm a passionate traveler - 28 countries visited and counting (my favourite places are Rome and Malta). Also I'm an ancient Rome history enthusiast and a member of the ancient Roman legion reenactment group. In my free time I love to dance, read books and train kettlebells. I love to meet people from around the world so I'm looking forward to also meet you!

Let's meet at front of the Old Stock Exchange building, which looks like a palace. I will have my gray backpack.
Description
Do you know that Wrocław through its over 1000 years of history was ruled by Poland, Czechia, Austria, Prussia, Germany, Poland + with small French and Hungarian episodes?? This incredible mix has created a city like no other with monuments, places and histories, which will stay in your memory for a long time. I will get you acquainted with Wrocław like no one else.
We will see the "must-see" and places only known to locals. You will hear the stories that will sound like they are made up but are not. We will "meet" medieval saint celebrity, Egyptian mummy, cheeky and cunning noble, fearsome king and unusual artist. You will see buildings and monuments from small one like your toe to almost 100 meters high. And everywhere we will be spied on by the...dwarfs.
Come, let's dive into Wrocław with me. Are you ready for the adventure?
