      A very well guided tour in German through the old town of Gdansk. Our guide, Eva, is a friendly person with extensive knowledge of the history of Gdansk. We would recommend to any visitor.

      I thought I was booking a tour guide to see Gdansk and it turns out I was meeting my friend Michal to spend a great day around town. Michal is friendly and speaks too many languages (even Chinese) but his pride in his country shines through in the many, many stories he tells as you go through the city. He even brings photos to show you what certain areas looked like before the city was rebuilt and who was standing on the spot you're currently on, but so many years ago. You'll get an amazing tour through history, seeing Gdansk's role in the region, in world affairs and in science. And we even went to lunch at a spot away from the tourists in the old town, where we were surrounded by locals, authentic food and seasonal beer. Absolutely the best tour you can take in Poland. And as an added bonus, you get to tell you friends back home you were guided around by a Nobel Peace Prize Winner's interpreter.

      The city tour with legends and facts was very interesting and a good product. The guide was exellent, and had a lot of knowledge about the history of Gdansk.

      Marek hat uns während der 3-stündigen Stadtführung einen guten Überblick über die Stadt und die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten vermittelt. Danzig ist auf jeden Fall eine weitere Reise wert da es noch sehr viel zu entdecken gibt was wir auf unserem 3-tägigen Trip nicht geschafft haben.

    • 26-May-2023

      Our tour guide, Marek, was very knowledgeable about the history of Gdansk and the surroundings around the city. He was attentive and interactive with all of us. You can't go wrong taking this FUN walking tour of Old Town Gdansk!

      Eine sehr coole Stadtführerin, die mit vielen Details und einer Prise Humor punkten konnte. Es war sehr unterhaltsam. Mann hat Spaß auf Danzig bekommen.

    • 29-Apr-2023

      Eine beeindruckende Stadt, die man am besten im Rahmen einer persönlichen Führung erkunden kann. Besonders schön: Die Rechtstadt mit Marienkirche, Rathaus und Artushof. Unbedingt sollte man auch das Solidarnocz Zentrum auf der Danziger Werft besuchen.

      Bardzo udany weekend w Gdańsku! Wybraliśmy się na firmową wycieczkę integracyjną z Niemiec, a firma Rosotravel zorganizowała nam wspaniałe zwiedzanie miasta. Nasze wszystkie życzenia zostały spełnione i dostaliśmy świetnych przewodników, od których można było się wiele dowiedzieć. Świetny kontakt z przedstawicielem firmy przed, jak i po rezerwacji. Cała nasza polsko-niemiecka grupa była bardzo zadowolona. Szczerze polecamy!

      Marek was a true gem! He brought the city to life with just the right amount of detail and pace. He passion for his hometown and knowledge makes this a must do for anyone wanting to see the city and explore the sights of Gdańsk. 3 hours was the perfect amount of time.
