This scenic promenade runs along the Motława River, where merchant ships once arrived with goods from all over Europe.

We were there with 5 people and in the end everyone was really excited even those who don't normally like vodka. The selection was varied and well-coordinated, so there was something for everyone. Particularly positive: You will not only be served drinks, but also lots of exciting information about vodka itself and the history of Gdansk. Our guide Olia , was great. Competent, personable and made the tour really lively. Clear recommendation.
Hallo! Herzlichen Dank für diese wunderbare Rückmeldung. Es freut uns riesig, dass wir sogar die 'Wodka-Skeptiker' in eurer Gruppe überzeugen konnten – das ist für uns das größte Kompliment!
Our guide Olja was the best. She speaks great English and is super knowledgeable about all of the vodkas we tasted. Not only did we learn some vodka history, we learned more about Gdansk and Polish history too! It was all fantastic including several classic vodkas, flavored infusions, and liqueurs. The prepared snack tray was overwhelmingly delicious and everything paired well with the various vodkas we were tasting. We'd definitely do it again.
Thank you so much for your feedback Alexander! Looking forward to see you once again in Gdansk!
Great “tour” in the world of Polish vodka, with knowledgeable and friendly Mariana. Can definitely be recommended, whether you are very fond of vodka or just want to taste and learn!
This Vodka Tasting Tour was absolutely electric! The guide’s passion about Polish vodka was infectious, and I loved hearing the stories behind each drink. The vodkas were varied, some smooth, some fiery, but each shot came with its own backstory. The atmosphere was warm and fun, and I really felt connected to Polish culture in a way I hadn’t before. If you like bold flavours and local traditions, this is a must-do!
Exciting vodka/liqueur tasting. Mariana was a good narrator and took us, in an interesting way, on a journey about the history of the drinks
At the tasting, we tried 7 types of alcohol, where there was both traditional vodka and local liqueurs, most of all we liked Mahandel, especially the ritual of its consumption. Our guide Mariana shared with us interesting stories about the culture of alcohol consumption and the history of vodka and local liqueurs. Without a doubt, I advise everyone to go on this tour.
