Great place to visit - Extremely knowledgable guide Mateusz arrived on time at our hotel in a clean vehicle with bottles of water provided. He gave a fantastic historical overview of Gdansk and then a moving and detailed account of the battle at Westerplatte. He speaks very good English and gave recommendations for local cuisine and dining. We would throughly recommend his tour and will use his service again.
