Michael was so enthusiastic about Gdansk which is exactly what we loved about the tour. He made sure we were at St Mary church at noon to see the clock - which was the favorite part of our tour. We loved to hear the history and he pointed out a lot of architectural aspects. He then shared to go to the Amber alter which was worth the charge! Would recommend
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring Gdańsk with Michael. His passion for the city, its history, and architecture truly makes every tour special, and we’re glad that enthusiasm helped create such a memorable experience for you. Warm regards,
Thank you Mariana! Definitely the best tour I have taken in Poland! I never realized just how special Gdansk is in terms of history and beauty. You made Gdansk come alive as we were walking through. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your beautiful review! It was a real pleasure to show you the beauty and history of Gdańsk. I’m very happy to hear that the city came alive for you during our walk — this is the greatest compliment a guide can receive. Thank you for your kind words and I hope to welcome you again in Gdańsk someday! Warm regards,
Very nice 2 hours private tour in the old part of Gdansk. Our guide Mariana was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the old town and our group of 4 danish people had great time under her wings.
Great way to learn about the history of Gdansk. It’s also good because there is a lot to do in that area of town, so you’ll get a good idea of other things to do on the trip. Recommend.
Marianna was an extremely knowledgeable guide. We basically had a private tour with her as we were a group of only two people. She took us all around Gdansk and told us about all of the local sites. She also took into places not normally on the tour as there were a few museums that were open for entry that normally would have been paid visits. She made suggestions of places for us to return to once the guided tour was over and also took us into the post office building as my friend asked to buy stamps. She was patient as we walked through a rainstorm as well. It was a very enjoyable afternoon on the tour with her.
