We are really pleased we booked this guided tour, 3 hours was not enough, our guide showed us everything we wanted to see and more besides. His English was perfect we learnt so much, we saw so much, we would recommend his tour to anyone who wants to discover the history of Szczecin right up to the present day. We were able to walk in the steps of my ancestors, visit the places they lived and worshiped before the end of WW2. We now have an understanding of life for Germans living here before, during and after the war when they had to leave and Stettin became Polish. This city is so friendly but without Andrzej our guide we would have missed so much. We have no reservations in recommending this getyourguide tour. Worth every ‘penny’ as they say in England! Thank you!

Unser Guide Dominik war ausgesprochen fundiert, zudem charmant und humorvoll! Er konnte alle unsere Fragen beantworten, auch jene, welche weit über geschichtliche Fragen hinaus gingen. Wir möchten uns ganz herzlich für einen wunderbaren Nachmittag bedanken!

Wir sind als Gruppe von 10 Personen unterwegs gewesen und haben in 2 Stunden viel über die Geschichte der Stadt erfahren. Auch für Besucher, die Stettin schon kennen, ist diese Tour sehr zu empfehlen. Es ist die effektivste Art und Weise, sich die Sehenswürdigkeiten anzuschauen und Inspiration für detaillierte Besuche zu erhalten. Genau das haben wir dann am Folgetag auch je nach Interessenlage in kleineren Gruppierungen auch getan. Alle wichtigen Fakten konnten durch unsere Führerin - Anita - genannt und auf Nachfrage auch detailliert werden. Gerne wieder!
