It was a very informative tour. Walked into st. Mary church and saw the astronomical clock. An amber shop visit was also nice. We walked along one of the channels and finished at the post office and heard the exciting story of the beginning of WWII.
We very much enjoyed this tour with Kate. She was extremely knowledgeable and clear with her commentary. She moved us along, but we never felt rushed. We learned so much about Gdańsk! Highly recommend.
We had absolutely fantastic tour in Gdansk. Our guide was probably the best guide you wish to have. Highly recommended!
We had a fascinating insight into the history of both the main town and old town of Gdansk. Tufi was a great guide, so knowledgable and interesting to listen to. We learned so much on our tour that we could never have seen or found out on our own. Can highly recommend this tour and very early on in a visit to Gdansk.
If you want to experience the Main Town tour , Tufi is a must. I have been on several tours across Europe, but Tufi’s passion and knowledge for his home town of Gdansk shines through. He really brought alive to all of us the highs and lows of the history of the city and how to really look at the historic buildings. Thoroughly recommended
