Hello traveller, It's great that you're coming to Poznan. It may surprise you, but our city is a cradle of Poland. I'm Tomasz Laskowski, your personal guide to the historic city of Poznan. With 14 years of experience and good storytelling skills, I interweave the city's rich history with contemporary events, peppered with fascinating fun facts. As a passionate history buff, I love bringing the past to life in a way that's both engaging and enlightening. Beyond history, I know the best places for a perfect cup of coffee, a delicious meal and all the hidden gems that make Poznań so special. As an entrepreneur, through PoznanTours I also offer extended, private, tailor-made tours of Poland and can even help you trace your family's Polish roots through bespoke genealogy research. Get to know Poland a little better: Polish culture, history and us, the real people who live here. Let's explore Poznan - and beyond - together, uncovering the stories that make this place so special. It would be great to welcome you in Poznan! Best, Tomasz Laskowski My references include the following: - Guiding Licence in Poznan & Poland - issued by Polish State in 2009 after an exam; - Proficient English skills - daily work with many foreigners + Certificate in Advanced English; - Master Degree in Philosophy + Political Science; - Good knowledge about Poland, Central Europe & life behind the Iron Curtain; - guide with a car. Suitable for longer tours outside the city. VW Touran - great for groups up from 1 to 3 people. For bigger groups - we will get a bigger car. Simply contact me in advance.

Overview of your Poznan tour

Welcome to Poznań—the historic birthplace of Poland and a city defined by a fascinating dual heritage. Designed specifically for first-time visitors or travelers with limited time, this express tour captures the essential highlights of Poznań in slightly over two hours. Together, we’ll uncover two distinct chapters of the city’s identity: - Medieval Polish Heart: The 13th-century Old Market Square, vibrant merchant houses, local legends, and hidden side streets. - 19th-Century German Quarter: The grand Imperial District, featuring Berlin-inspired boulevards, the majestic Imperial Castle, and the Monument to the Victims of June 1956. Along the way, I’ll share engaging history, insights into modern everyday life, and recommendations for local flavors and spots to visit next. Note: If walking is a challenge, this tour can easily be adapted as a comfortable panoramic drive upon request.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars for Thomas Laskowski Our tour of Poznań with Thomas Laskowski was outstanding. Thomas is a caring, thoughtful guide who brings both warmth and deep local knowledge to every stop. His explanations were clear, engaging, and full of insight, making the city’s history feel wonderfully alive. We especially loved experiencing Poznań’s famous butting goats—made even more delightful thanks to Thomas’s storytelling and perfect timing. His attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm for his city made the entire experience memorable. Thank you, Thomas, for a truly excellent tour.

Tomasz Laskowski is superb in his craft. My husband and I are lifelong travelers and have traveled to countless international destinations. I also have many years of experience in the tour industry in my younger years, including as a tour director. Tomasz ranks among the best guides we’ve encountered - affable, adaptable, flexible, knowledgeable, anticipatory in your needs, meeting you where you are, and compassionate. Within the first five minutes of meeting at the Poznan airport, we had already felt that we had known Tomasz for years. In our opinion, this is your ONLY genuine choice for tour guide while in Poznan. Thank you, Tomasz!

Thomas was a highly knowledgeable tour guide, who was able to give us a great tour of the city with knowledgeable and in depth history to go along with every step of the way. His tour goes throughout the old town, plus the historic cathedral island. We went by foot, but also used the streetcars to get around. His English skills are perfect, and he is willing to talk about history, economics and other current events, relevant for a foreign tourist wishing to learn more about Poland and the country's culture. I would highly recommend him and his tour!

Hello, there's nothing better I can say about Tomasz and the tour of Poznan. It was not a lecture of the historical facts about the city, rather a conversation between friends about the success and challenges Poznan has faced throughout its history. He communication style was lighthearted and I enjoyed when he wove personal stories to convey the significance of moments in Poznan history and culture. THE GOATS!!!! THE BEER NEXT TO THE CHURCH!!! Those were two memories I will always cherish. Thank You
