Hi, my name is Kasia. I have 17 years of guiding experience and I am really lucky because guiding is my work and passion at the same time. Expanding my knowledge, meeting people from all over the world and sharing my love to the place is like amazing journey. I was born, grew up and live in The City of Freedom. It was in Gdansk where in 1980, after 18 days of strike, Solidarity was established, which was the first blow of uncertainty for the communist regimes. My home is a walking distance from the biggest Polish river Vistula. During the morning strolls, on one hand as a passionate photographer and person whose childhood was stunk in the atmosphere of port and shipyard, I take hundreds of pictures of the ships coming to Gdansk. On the other, I can watch seagulls flying over Westerplatte peninsula, a strip of land where on the 1st of September 1939 the Schleswig - Holstein's cannon - shots meant the outbreak of the hell on Earth that the WWII was. My personality traits of Slavic woman, reliability, hospitality, sensitivity and open mindedness which stem from my family background, the heritage of Polish originating from the Lviv area (since 1945 in Ukraine), together with my artistic education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, diversity of my work (I am a licensed tour guide, qualified teacher of English, cooperate with different cultural institutions in Gdansk) and my enthusiasm about the area are the factors making my guiding professional and colourful at the same time. The ancient history of The World Capital of Amber that Gdansk is; the turning point in 1980 when the revolutionary movement was established; the vicinity of the summer resort The Pearl of Baltic Sea - Sopot; the sophisticated example of the 1920-ties and 30-ties modernism architecture city - Gdynia give you the chance to experience an unforgettable, unique visit. Watching the marvelous view from one of the view points and delicious meal in one of local restaurants can be the final touch. If you want to familiarize not only with the landmarks of Tricity - Gdansk, Sopot, Gdynia, we can visit off the beaten path places or drive to outside the city destinations. I am a licensed tour guide in the Tricity and Pomeranian District (Voivoidship). The visit to Stutthoff Concentration Camp, Hel Peninsula, Kashuby, kayaking tours and many others can be the part of our meeting as well. I use both public and private transport. My tours are flexible and I am happy to customize. I am very much looking forward to meeting you. - Licensed tour guide in Tri-City (Gdansk, Sopot, Gdynia) - Licensed tour guide in Pomerania (Pomorze, Pomeranian Voivodeship) - Licensed tour guide in European Solidarity Centre in Gdansk - Licensed tour guide in Emmigration Museum in Gdynia - Licensed tour guide in Stutthof Concentration Camp Museum - Licensed tour guide in World War II Museum in Gdansk - List of about 90 countries whose nationals may enter Poland without a visa are published on the page of the ministry of foreign affairs www.msz.gov.pl - Bank holidays when the museums are closed https://www.officeholidays.com/countries/poland/index.php

Overview of your Gdansk tour

About one hour drive from Gdansk is Stutthof Museum - the former nazi concentration camp established just at the beginning of the WWII. Between 1939 and 1945, the horror place in the middle of forest in a hard to reach swampy area. The road there passes through Vistula Delta, "a little Holland" where you will hear stories about people who converted the unfriendly marshland into land of milk and honey. The canals enlaced with willows, porch houses, little brick churches create the unique atmosphere. Then the World Capital of Amber where you will immerse in over 1000 years old town with the gorgeous buildings, breeze in the port by Motlawa river, gothic churches, hundreds of amber workshops and cozy places where you can have lunch with gold wasser or machandel. In Gdansk you will visit the biggest. . . come and get to know what is the "biggest in the world" in Gdansk. I will customize the tour on the guests' request.

Kasia was prompt, professional, and gave us exactly what we asked for in our tour. She's incredibly knowledgeable about Gdansk and Stutthoff and tailors the tour to suit your interests. We go so much more from this personal tour by a local than we have on many cruise excursions. Depending on your group's size, the price is comparable and you get a lot more for your money!

Highly recommend this tour when in Gdansk. The camp was sobering, and the museum was very well done. Also strolled through the old town and sampled some local cuisine. Kasia was an awesome Guide. She worked with us on our time limits and desires with no issues. She even moved the van ahead of us so we could continue with our walking.

Kasia was a great tour guide! We started our tour sa the Stutthof museum. Kasia has a wealth of knowledge on this subject that she shared with us. Unfortunately our trip to Stutthof took longer than usual because we travelled with our elderly mother so we did not have as much time in Gdansk as we wanted but Kasia used our time well. We ate at a local restaurant and had local polish but that was delicious and affordable. We also went and purchased a polish treat at a local bakery, also sooo delicious. Kasia also took us to a lovely amber store (at our request) so we could purchase some genuine amber. All in all we had a great tour and she had us back at our cruise ship on time! Thank you Kasia, it was a pleasure spending time with you!

Kasia brought us to Stutthof and guided us through with sensitivity and extensive information. We then proceeded to Gdansk, where she led us to a restaurant with Polish cuisine where we loved everything we ordered. We appreciate that she recommended leaving the tourist area for this authentic dining establishment that is a hit with the locals. We then toured Gdansk, where Kasia shared her knowledge of the city and its history. We highly recommend Kasia for your next tour.
