What you can expect

Discover the architecture and history of Gdańsk on a walking tour that covers the same route that was walked for centuries by the kings of Poland. Dive into the local culture which has Polish, Dutch, and German influences.
Meet your guide at the city's Golden Gate and make your way to the colourful merchant townhouses that were destroyed by the war, but painstakingly rebuilt. Hear about how merchants made the town the richest city on the Baltic Sea.
Walk through Long Market and see the Neptune fountain. Admire St. Mary's Basilica's Gothic brickwork and view the Zuraw treadwheel crane in the harbour which is the largest of its kind in the world and a symbol of the city. See the city's rivers and canals as you walk.
Travel back in time as your guide tells you about how WWII started in the city and how the Solidarity movement heralded the fall of communism in the Eastern block.

I was surprised at how much I got to see and the guide knew lots of information. A lot of facts and some good humour too. The pace was great and the way she told you about different areas was easy to follow. Very good value for money and it gave me a plan of what to do and when. The guide knew opening and closing times of various attractions and advised where to go first etc because of closing times. She advised which days museums were free. I would recommend this tour and I would definitely use them again, they have tours in different polish cities and other countries too. #followtheyellowumbrella
