Welcome to Gdansk, the Great Hanseatic City, the City of Lech Walesa and Solidarity!
I am a licensed tour guide and driver passionate about Gdansk and Poland. I specialise in Gdansk/Gdynia SHORE EXCURSIONS for cruise passengers, GENEALOGY RESEARCH and ANCESTRAL TRIPS and CULINARY TOURS.
As a former tour operator, I have first-hand experience to prepare both a 1-day or multiday trip with a detailed schedule , hotel reservations and provide suggestions what to do and see in your spare time.
My clients come from all directions of the globe, however, most of them come from the US, Canada, Israel and Europe.
I do walking city tours, mixed car&walking tours using my personal minivan Kia Carnival or other transportation depending on the group size.
I lead individuals and groups personally through GDANSK - SOPOT - GDYNIA and other destinations in northern Poland:
* MALBORK CASTLE - the largest brick Gothic castle in the world by area (nearly 52 acres), built by the Teutonic Knights. Malbork Castle is the classic example of a medieval fortress. Day or NIGHT VISIT there is a MUST!
* Former Nazi STUTTHOF CAMP
* WESTERPLATTE - The First Battle of WW2
* IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF JOHN PAUL II
* nature and wildlife tours (Słowiński National Park - unique moving dunes - UNESCO Biosphere Reserve or Kaszuby Region)
* GENEALOGY RESEARCH AND ANCESTRAL TRIPS in POMERANIA and WEST PRUSSIA
I love to guide combining a mixture of entertainment, making history come alive, interesting facts about the present society as well as fun anecdotes about everyday life.
Let me invite you along on a guided tour in and around Gdansk which has a myriad of exciting and appealing attractions. I design my excursions to avoid crowds with a focus on local culture, important historical sights and areas of special interest to
visditors such as art, history, shopping or cuisine.
I would be happy to take you around showing my favourite sights, picturesque lanes full of unique architectural details and reveal some of the mysteries. If you have any special preferences or would prefer rather OFF THE BEATEN TRACK Tour), let me know.
FAMILY with KIDS WELCOME !
My whole-hearted tips for you: enjoy one of the following suggestions:
* BALTIC SAIL, July 4-7
* CHOPIN CONCERTS July, 19- August, 3 followed by a gala dinner in one of nearby restaurants
* ORGAN CONCERTS in OLIVA CATHEDRAL (July - August)
* INTERNATIONAL MOZART FESTIVAL August, 22-25 held in the scenery of Oliwa Park
* ST. DOMINIC'S FESTIVAL & FAIR July , 28- August, 18
* TOURNAMENTS in Gothic Castles
* CULINARY ACADEMY ( only for small groups 6-12 )and LIVE COOKING on THURSDAY
Areas to be visited can be tailored to suit your particular interest. I will suggest an itinerary to match your interest and timeframe.
As I have a small company, I can guarantee that you can have a tour even if I am not available myself or you need a tour in other languages (Spanish or German) . I can recommend other carefully selected professional guides who are happy to share in their knowledge and expertise.
HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY MY TOURS!
