Main Town Gdańsk Walking Tour

Fantastic experience. Marcin is an extremely trained guide, able to involve us. A lot of information, anecdotes and historical events without ever being boring. Time literally flew by, as we learned a lot of interesting things about the history of the city, visiting the main points of interest.

Tufi was very knowledgeable and passionate about Gdansk and its history. Excellent guide, would recommend him along with walkative to anybody that visits.

The guide was very knowledgeable and it was fascinating to learn about the history of Gdansk prior to the second world war. Thoroughly recommended to hear all the stories and visit the main important points in town which you may otherwise miss.

Great Tour and Intro to Gdansk. Our guide Kate was very knowledgeable and personable. Good historical overview and many unique cool sites visited!

Filip was by far the BEST walking guide I have ever had! He was entertaining and highly knowlegable ! I did not want the tour to end! Highly recommend his tours in Gdansk to anyone!!!

Very good knowledge of Gdansk and its history.

Tufi was our guide. He was passionate and very informative and enthusiastic throughout which helped us to engage in the tour. His knowledge was fantastic and English exceptional. We booked the tour for our first morning which helped us with orientation and navigating the city for the rest of our trip.

Our group of six family and friends booked a private tour of Gdansk with Walkative, and we were fortunate to have Filip as our guide. The city was very crowded with many large tours, and we were very happy to have Filip, who was wonderfully talkative and always easy to understand. He seemed to know everything about the city and Poland in general, and provided many insights into the history and culture. I was especially moved by his dramatic telling of the siege of the Post Office in September 1939. The tour was not expensive, so if you are in Gdansk on a cruise as we were, I highly recommend Walkative.

Great experience of visiting Gdansk with Izabela, who explained very clearly history of the town! We really appreciated the visit and can only recommend her:)!

"Marcin Okunie" I read on the ID card hanging around our city guide's neck. Marcin Okunie is dressed athletically – like a triathlete, my wife says –, tanned, and qualified for his task in many respects. For one thing, he possesses the endurance in both speaking and walking that allows him to conduct several city tours a day. For another, he can conquer his hunger, so that he seems to get by on every tour with a banana and a drink from his casually unzipped side pocket – but this is only mentioned as a side note and with a view to the always hungry tourists. Of greater importance, however, is his stupendous education, not only in questions regarding the fate of Danzig in particular, but also regarding Polish history in general, which forms the basis for his knowledgeable lectures. Marcin Okunie apparently has a strong bond with the city through his grandfather—I suspect this due to his frequent mention during the lecture—which, as some say, bore the name Gyddanyzc in times immemorial, before Christian missionaries like Adalbert of Prague came to the settlement inhabited by Kashubians and Prussians. From Gydannyzc they made Danczik, from Danczik Dantzig, which was later spelled Danzig, and today is called Danzig, our city guide announces with agile hands and surprisingly long fingers, and finally Gdańsk. Marcin Okunie's fascinating and humorous city tour is perhaps owed to this grandfather and his instinct to stay alive and to live, specifically in Danzig, his hometown, as one of the few survivors after so many thousands had perished following war, murder, flight, and pillaging.
