Highly recommend this tour and our wonderful guide Bożena! She was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. You can see how much she loves Gdansk! She was waiting for us on time, made us feel welcomed from the first minute and could adjust to our needs. Although I've been to Gdansk before, this tour was the highlight of this visit, making me feel like a tourist again. Thanks Bożena!
