Hello Travelers! My name is Piotr. I was born in Lodz, I studied Tourism and Hotel Management at the University of Lodz. Now I work in tourism and business services sector in my home city. For over 20 years I've guided dozens of groups from different parts of the world explaining the phenomenon of Lodz. I am also the author of the book-guide for so called Green Circle of Tradition and Culture in Lodz. I am especially interested in architecture, music, vocal art and sports (cycling, skiing and swimming). I became a licensed city guide in 2006 (licence number 21/2006). I speak English and learnt Spanish as well. I also offer tailor-made tours round Lodz, always trying to meet the tourist's expectations. Lodz provides a wide range of possibilities for architecture and art passionate, but also for people simply looking for entertainment. For me private tours are the most inspiring source of travelling experience as I have the chance to learn your stories. I am a graduate of the University of Lodz - Geography of Tourism and Hotel Management Marketing and Management - Postgraduate studies Licensed tour leader and guide for Łódź - licence number 21/2006 Author of a guidebook for "Green Circle of Tradition and Culture in Łódź"
