Paul was a great guide. Informative, funny and great to talk with. We had a group of 30 and you could always hear what he was saying. It was a great introduction to the beautiful city of Gdansk.
The guide was very knowledgeable and it was fascinating to learn about the history of Gdansk prior to the second world war. Thoroughly recommended to hear all the stories and visit the main important points in town which you may otherwise miss.
Great Tour and Intro to Gdansk. Our guide Kate was very knowledgeable and personable. Good historical overview and many unique cool sites visited!
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Tufi, was excellent. He was able to present a lot of information in an engaging and interesting way. Really opened our eyes to the importance of Gdansk and its place in history. Highly recommend this tour.
Our guide, Marcin, is a compelling story teller who easily related the history of Gdansk into an enjoyable tour. Learned a lot about fascinating events regarding this port city. Well done!
Had a wonderful tour with Zosia. Very informative and learned quite a bit about Gdansk. I would recommend this tour to anyone who has a short stay or even longer to learn about this beautiful city’s history in Poland.
Fantastic walking tour with our guide Isabela. She was so knowledgeable and explained things in great detail while keeping the tour fun and informative. Best tour guide ever. We learned so much.
Guide was on time, her yellow umbrella made locating her quite easy. She (Katy) was well prepared, knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. She not only shared historical and cultural insights, she enjoyed interacting with the individuals in the group.
Excellent walking tour with dozens of interesting buildings pointed out and described. Anyone from outside Europe will appreciate the true impact of Gdansk's role in arts, inventions and WW II resistance. 'Enjoyed it!
We did this tour on our arrival in Gdansk in the afternoon/early evening. There is lots of history in this place and more than just WWII, but that is a big part of it. There was time in the middle to grab a warm drink - some people had hot cherry wine but we misunderstood the guides directions so got it later that night. The guide had great recommendations for other things to do and gave us their company map or recommended things. We had already paid with Viator but it appeared that this was a pay what you think kind of situation for others who had booked via other means - but what we paid seemed fair for the length and standard of tour that we had.
Very informative tour by PK. He kept it entertaining and interesting. I would definitely recommend this to first time travellers on their first day, to mark locations worth visiting.
