Hello, my name is Izabella. I am a professional guide in Gdańsk - Sopot - Gdynia (Tri-city), Pomerania Province, the Malbork Castle, Gdansk Museums, Stutthof Concentration Camp. Since 1997 I have been working as a tour leader. I have led Polish groups in Asian and north African countries. I have learned about history, traditions, religions and cultures of those countries. In 2008 I passed exams and was given a certified licence as a city guide in Gdańsk - Sopot - Gdynia (Tri-city). Since then I have specialized in Tri- city and Pomerania Province. I did my post-gradutate studies of Gdańsk History at the University of Gdańsk. My licences, certificates, and diplomas allow me to guide groups inside different institutions, buildings and museums. Gdańsk is a very unique city, full of history, culture and a unique atmosphere. Bustling economy and new investments encourage people to visit it. The city is located along the Gdańsk Bay together with Sopot and Gdynia and has a special microclimate created by the surrounding forest and moraine hills. The Tri-city beaches are one of the few places in the world where you can find amber after storm. The only true guide is the heart, therefore I will be your passionate tour guide in Gdańsk. My flat looks like a well -stocked library. I read a lot of books. I love cycling, and diving in the Baltic Sea exploring shipwrecks, or sailing on the Gdańsk Bay with friends. In winter time I go skiing or I lead groups in other countries. I am a sociable, spontaneous, cheerful, and flexible person. I adapt to the groups' expectations. I like to work both with children and adults, with groups and individual tourists. I always come prepared and my goal is to meet the expectations of my clients. Thanks to many trips abroad and knowledge of many cultures I am an open person and tolerant to all religions and races. - Licensed tour guide in Tri-City (Gdansk, Sopot, Gdynia) - Licensed tour guide in Pomerania (Pomorze, Pomeranian Voivodeship) - Licensed tour guide in European Solidarity Centre - Licensed tour guide in Emmigration Museum in Gdynia - Licensed tour guide in Malbork Castle - Licensed tour guide in Stutthof Concentration Camp - Licensed tour guide in Warminsko - Mazurskie (Elblag Canal, Frombork, Wolf's Lair, Olsztyn Castle, Mazuria Lakes) - Licensed tour guide in the Gdansk Museum (Main City Hall, Artus Court, Polish Post Office, Amber Museum, Uphagen House, Westerplatte outpost nr 1) - Licensed tour guide in the Second World War Museum in Gdansk.

During this excursion I will explain to you the history and events that took place in 1970, 1980 and 1981. Our excursion will start at the entrance to the historical Gdansk Shipyard, before 1989 named after Lenin. At this workplace some workers protests against the communist government took place. Each strike used to end with severe repressions and bloodshed. However, August 1980 brought a hope of change. During the strike inside the shipyard 21 demands were presented. Most of them focused on the following issues: freedom of speech, the right to strike and acceptance of independent trade unions. Solidarnosc - free trade union, independent of the communist party was born. 10 million Poles joined the new union within one year. However, on 13 December 1981 the martial law was imposed. The communist authorities declared a war against their own nation. Other victims, arrest, confinement, imprisonments and banning of Solidarność were a symbol of the martial law. Debate of "the round table talks" in 1989.
