Discover Gdansk Walking Tour
Description
What can you expect from the Walking Tour in the Main Town of Gdansk? Besides the tour being very affordable, it also is a veritable introduction to the heart of Old Gdansk. Your guide will strive to achieve a balance between entertainment and historical knowledge in a city that was a witness to times of grand prosperity and great misery, times of destruction and reconstruction, blazing fires and fireworks on display, times of tolerance and times of persecution, hope and despair. How many states attempted to control it? What people have lived in Gdańsk throughout the centuries? How come we had the Crusaders here? Not only you guys can expect me to answer all these important questions but I will try to do it in a light-hearted, entertaining way.

Itinerary
Our MP, offers a spectacular view to the Main Town's Long Embankment.
How come we have a water gate in Gdansk that resembles a town hall in a famous city on Flanders?
We will see it from a distance as a fortified water gate and we will also walk under its treadwheel mechanism.
We'll walk around it and experience incredible theater of figures show held inside, in the transept.
Local's favorite medieval street.
We will meet in the area and cross into the Main Town through this landmark Renaissance gate.
We are going to appreciate this landmark from three angles and hopefully, we are going to hear carillon bells from its tower.
Where did the wealthiest merchants go to unwind?
Another landmark in the most representative part of Gdańsk.

You’ll see lots of sights and our guide gave great detail of the history of the city and its restoration. Great tour, but make sure you have your walking shoes on because you do see a lot.
Excellent, would highly recommend. Tour guide Tufi was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Gdansk.
Martin is very knowledgeable and informative guide. The tour lasted longer than planned as he informed us of all important sights that we passes by. At the end he showed us the way to the nearest rails station.
Our guide was fun - he was very informative and had a great sense of humour!
I highly recommend it. The tour guide Marcin was very knowledgeable, engaging and fun. He is a history buff with a sense of humor who has an excellent command of English language.
Martin was passionate about Gdansk being a native. Excellent guide.
One of the best tours we've been on. Martin was knowledgeable, quirky and funny. We enjoyed seeing and learning about Gdansk from his perspective. He clearly loves the city. Don't hesitate to book. You will love it!
I often find walking tours a bit tedious or guides that are long winded when you’re standing still in hot weather, but this was different! our guide told us fun historical facts, pretty much kept the group moving and was very enthusiastic and interesting. I would definitely recommend this tour
