Overview
Do you know the legend about a witch who once cursed Toruń with a plague of frogs — and a violin-playing raftsman who led them away? Or the story that Napoleon allegedly crawled out of a Toruń tavern on all fours?
This self-guided audio walking tour takes you through 800 years of stories hidden in the Gothic streets of Toruń's UNESCO Old Town. From the birthplace of Copernicus to Teutonic castle ruins, you'll hear legends, scandals, and secrets that most visitors walk right past — including the dark truth behind a bronze donkey and a bell said to delay the end of the world.
Unlike a group tour, you can go at your own pace. Pause to climb a tower, step into a gingerbread museum, or grab a drink at a 500-year-old inn. The tour covers 3 km with 15+ stops and works beautifully as a morning or afternoon walk. Available in 9 languages with offline access — just download and go.

Excellent basic tour which is easy to follow
42barneyk, Mar 2026
Really good audio tour which was simple to follow and provided a basic understanding of the main sites. You can take it at your own pace and drop in and out as required. Good value for money when you consider the charges for an organised guided tour.
Very good, but with little mistake :)

Very good trip. There is one fault in polish version, near the New Town Market Square at the oldest restaurant (or inn? My English is not perfect) You have a break into the audioguide in thread of Napoleon.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for pointing this out. We’re sorry about the issue in the Polish version and will correct the audio interruption near the New Town Market Square. We’re glad you still enjoyed the trip and appreciate your feedback.
A beautiful tour

The tour was informative, we were free to interrupt it, and we could use our own devices. Great!!!
Delightful

Torun is wonderful and this is a good way to discover many sights. Gives the main information and not too difficult. Did not like the voice accent but otherwise great.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a detailed review! We really appreciate it and we are glad that you enjoyed the tour and we will work on improving the accent. We hope to guide you again in a different location in the future. Best regards, The Tourific team
