Great Informative Tour - Fantastic walking tour attended by our party of 7. Tour guide very friendly and the visit to Saint Mary’s Basilica was the highlight featuring the ‘doomsday’ clock. All in all a great experience giving a geographical and historical perspective of Gdansk.

Best tour on a budget - Marcin was extremely knowledgeable and showed us many points of interest during the 2.5 hour tour. He even got us to St. Mary’s Basilica on time to see the clock move and play. Along the tour he pointed out museums to visit and good places to eat and drink. I would definitely do this tour again!

Informative & Fun City Walk - My husband and I did this tour our first day in Gdańsk to help us get acclimated to the city. It was a bargain at any price. Our tour was very thorough and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and an engaging speaker. This tour lasted over two and a half hours with our guide pointing out good spots to eat/drink and all the important sites with accompanying history. Highly recommend this tour! Gdańsk is a very special city- go there and take this tour!

Value for money - Our tour guide was very engaging and knowledgeable and we learned a lot. It would have been very good to have a coffee break midway through the tour though as we ended up on our feet for almost 3 hours which was taxing.
