What you'll do
You will visit and uncover the intriguing history of the oldest buildings (700+ years old), feel the 22 carat gold petals dance across your taste buds as you drink your shot of traditional, 420 year old locally produced vodka. Try 7 different types of cured Polish meats . . . then later, it's time to taste the most famous of all Polish sweets . . . the “pączek” which is a very old ancestor to the doughnut - yet so much more enjoyable, it's hard to stop at eating just one.
You’ll discover why Gdansk is known as the ‘Amber Capital of the World’ and why the 40,000,000 year old tree resin has been used for medicine purposes for thousands of years and still being used today.
You’ll discover hidden secrets, first hand, about the Pomerania (local) people and their culture, you’ll be captivated listening stories passed down in my family for generations which won't find in books, like the giant that once sat on the Basilic Tower, you’ll explore St. Mary’s Basilica, St. Katrina Church, the largest Medieval Watermill, the Great Armory and much, much more…

BOOK IT! Alex showed us beautiful places that we were probably going to miss when visiting Gdansk on our own. He told us many stories and parts of the History we never heard of or read about before we came here. The foodie stops were brilliant and were nice recommendations during our stay here too. Alex is very knowledgeable and fun and Gdansk is so rich culturally! Don’t miss this tour!

The tour combines with many aspects of the city, like history, food, culture, people...etc, giving me a deep experience in Gdansk. It is a great way to know the city for people visiting Gdansk first!
Also, the schedule is well-organized. You can have a break or snacks during the tour to restore your energy.

Alex var meget kunnskapsrik, flink til å formidle, personlig uten å bli for nærgående, masse humor, ingen dødpunkt. Ble kjent med Gdansk på en flott måte. Flotte pauser med fin bevertning.
Vi anbefaler Alex på det sterkeste.
