Fantastic tour through the old streets and squares of Gdańsk! Got to visit many different pubs and bars. Got to learn extremely interesting and funny history about the city. The guide Katarina was absolutely phenomenal, nice, knowledgeable and knew everything about the city & Poland. Gave us tips on what to do for the rest of the trip! 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / The 5 glaziers from Sweden ”Bomhus glas”

our host Monika was so welcoming and friendly, made us feel at home and relaxed from the second we arrived. Monika was very experienced about all the different vodkas we tasted and answered any questions we had, we also had a good tasty selection of snacks.

As a traveler to many countries, i have never met a tour guide as Marek. So knowledgeable and kind. He is so fun and charismatic. Do not hesitate to book a tour with him. This is a real review and i wish Marek the best in the near future.

We were extremely happy with Elwira as our guide. The tour was super informative and all the major sights of Gdansk were covered on the tour. The food was delicious! Make sure to come hungry though as there is lots to try :)

Very nice food and equally nice cocktails recommend it. There is a 5 course taster option but I did the three course one and think it was better as you could pick your dishes and cocktails.
