Follow Michael, he knows the way! - Michael was approachable, informative, and very entertaining. He's a pleasure to listen to and follow around while laughing at his offhand comments. His tour of Old Town Wrocław covers so much without being overwhelming and he has a great read on people and pace. Highly recommended!

Definite recommendation - I really enjoyed the tour. We learned some interesting facts from a philosopher, living in that beautiful city.
I liked the idea of a planned short break during the tour. The guide always included the whole audience in discussions, when he was asked some questions when walking from one, to the next point. Also he was quite interested in getting to now his guests.
Definitely a recommendation for the tour :)
In general walkative provides really good tours in all over Poland, we visited 4 of them and all have been very good. Anyways this was the best :)
