Self Guided Legends and Liberty Gdansk Old Town Tour
Description
Gdańsk's soldiers were sometimes paid in beer, Neptune once smashed gold coins in a fountain out of sheer annoyance, and postal workers held off an army for 15 hours — this city's stories are wild. This self-guided audio tour walks you through them all, right from your phone. Follow the Royal Way past golden gates and merchant houses, hear legends about a mermaid, and stand where the Solidarity movement began its fight against communism. From the medieval Crane where workers walked inside giant hamster wheels to lift cargo, to Mariacka Street — you'll cover Gdańsk's thousand-year arc in about 2 hours. No fixed start time, no group to keep up with. Pause for a drink, climb St. Mary's tower, or linger in a shop — the tour waits for you and even works offline. If you'd rather explore on your own terms instead of being herded in a group, this is your kind of tour. Over 20,000 travelers have used our self-guided tours, and every booking comes with a full refund guarantee.

Very useful guide in Italian for the city of Gdansk. Each stop consists of a description of about 3 minutes, making it dynamic and never boring. The map could be slightly improved; on a couple of occasions, it was not easy to understand how to move to the next stop, but with a little attention, it can be resolved! Great value for money considering that only one purchase is needed to share via cell phone with those next to you. Definitely recommended, especially since there are no affordable guides in Italian in Gdansk.

An interesting tour where you cover quite a distance. Explanations were very clear and also supported by legends. At first, it was a bit difficult to find the right starting point.
