Great guided tour to Stutthof - This was a great trip with a guide with deep knowledge and a very good and accurate way of telling the stories abaut Stutthof from the start to the end. Mike (our Guide) told the whole story, the awful handling of the people, how the camp was runned, and the strategies for survival was for the people in Stutthof. It is highly rekommended to do this tour for adults and teens.

Well-organized tour in a friendly atmosphere - The tour was very well-organized and professional. The driver arrived on time, was friendly and was giving us many interesting information about the region during the ride to our destination. The visit at the camp was an unforgettable experience and the guide was great. We have learned a lot about the history of this historical place.
We would definitely recommend Tours in Gdansk - Local Tour Operator and will use them again when returning to Gdansk.

A day in Gdansk - If you are interested in history or just a really humbling experience, this concentration camp will open your eyes to struggles of the people that was imprisoned here. If you coming in the winter months make sure you dress warm. The cold adds to the experience. If you are in the Gdansk area this is a must see. Having a guided tour definitely helps to get a full concrete experience. Your tour guide was on time to pick us up and shared so much about the local area as well. The beach is close and the shops have some great homemade ice cream. Hope you all enjoy as much as our family did.

Very informative! - Mike was our guide and I cannot stress enough the depth of this man's knowledge. He answered every question comprehensively and has endless stories of the horrors experienced in this camp.
We gained so much more by doing this with a guide. It really helped us gain a sense of what life was like for the prisoners.
