About this tour
This call is a planning session built around Lodz's different districts rather than a single walk. I talk through Piotrkowska Street, the converted factory complexes and the city's film history sites on a shared map. By the end you have a short list of areas that match what you are actually interested in.
We start with a sound check, then I bring up a map of the city and talk through each area in turn. You can ask questions about any part of Lodz as we go, and I adjust the suggestions based on how much time you have. Afterwards I send the list again in writing.
It suits anyone planning more than a single day in Lodz who wants a clearer sense of where to go. It also works well booked before a longer video session in one specific district.
Included
- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
- Bookings made on your behalf
- Phone or data charges from your provider
