This was such a great tour! It was customized for our family with kids. Łukasz did a wonderful job keeping the children engaged while sharing many fascinating stories about pre-war Łódź. We really enjoyed our two-hour tour of the city’s major landmarks and learned so much in a short time. Highly recommended!
