About this tour
This call is a planning session for anyone wanting to cover Katowice's mining heritage properly rather than rush it. I talk through Nikiszowiec, Giszowiec and the Culture Zone on a shared map. By the end you have a route that matches how much time you actually have.
We start with a sound check, then I bring up a map and talk through each site in turn. You can ask questions about any part of the route, and I adjust the suggestions based on your interests. Afterwards I send the plan again in writing.
It suits anyone planning more than a single session in Katowice who wants a clearer sense of where to go. It also works well booked before one of the video sessions in either settlement.
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
