Gdansk Food and Culture half day Tour

Sebastian was an amazing guide - conveniently meeting us at the port off of our cruise ship with transportation. Sebastian was personable and warm with a real talent for making the history of Gdansk come alive, including sharing his family’s personal story after WW II. We first visited the ship yards which have long served a crucial function for Gdansk. There we visited the small museum where the solidarity movement marked the beginning of the end of the Soviet occupation. We learned the about the strategy of the peaceful strike which began in Gdansk and spread throughout Poland and the crucial role the Pope and church played in the freedom movement. We visited the old City and Main City and saw the rebuilding after the town was decimated during World War II. We also learned about the earlier history of Gdansk and the important role the City played as a trading hub and gateway. It wasn’t all history though - along the way we tried the traditional rose donuts (warm and sweet) and an appertive of goldwasser (a local herbal concoction with real gold flakes and a bit of heat). We also visited a wonderful polish restaurant located in the basement of where beer and alcohol was originally served. We had a wonderful meal of traditional Polish and Gdansk dishes together with a dark porter Polish beer. Sebastion brought the city and its history alive and he is rightfully proud of the place. We highly recommend Sebastion as a guide - he also does bike tours if you are interested (we will have to give that a try on our next visit).

We went on multiple tours with Sebastian and he provided us a memorable, safe, fun and truly educational tour. We highly recommend him.

I have been going to Poland for over forty years, and this tour of Gdansk was simply the BEST. Sebastian was super well organized, detailed, informative and most welcoming. This was truly a TEN STAR tour. Thank you Sebastian. Serdeczne Dziekuje. Christopher Haponik

Sebastian was amazing!!! Our time changed on our cruise and he was so flexible and gave us a great tour. The local food tasted so good. And even though our time was so short we saw all the highlights. Best tour guide we have had in a while. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic! Sebastian was extremely flexible, knowledgeable and great company! Thanks to Sebastian we crammed a lot into our short visit, he picked up on our interests and tailored the day to suit our preferences and timing - wish we had longer!

I had an excellent five hour "food and culture" shore private tour with Gdansk guide Sebastian. Communication pre-tour was very good. He picked me up from my ship at my requested time, and timely dropped me off. We toured the scenic tourist parts of town, local food cafes, and the moving Solidarity memorial. He was pleasant, knowledgable, enthusiastic, and considerate of my needs as a senior. This tour was a perfect blend of history, culture, & food. I strongly recommend delightful guide Sebastian M!
