Perfect start to our holiday! - We found this experience very good! We booked ahead of time and its one thing We looked forward too. There was a few people waiting when we arrived. They split us into two boats so it was comfortable! They provided blankets which was a nice touch too. The guide was friendly, informative but also had some humour. We learnt quite a lot and found it a perfect way to start our holiday as it was our first evening we arrived. Should we come to Gdansk again we would book and fully recommend :)

The perfect tour, boat and tourguide - Such a wonderful boat trip! A small boat, at miniature copy of old transportation vessels, not too many people on bard. Our tour guide, Borna, was the perfect guide, with a pleasantly informal, very humouristic an informative style of guiding. One of the best boat tours I ever had. !00% recommendable! Thank you, Borna and colleague!

Great way to see a different view of the town - Highly rate this tour. Sister and I really enjoyed our guide and his commentary intermixed with humour. We lucked out with decent weather and used their blankets on board to stay warm.

Nice trip with truly exceptional guide - Really nice ride! Our guide was exceptional - name started with a B - Boran? He was not only informative but he really seemed to love showing people and telling stories about Gdaňsk. We are so glad we did this!

Don't miss out! - 100% recommend taking the smaller boat trip. You get to go through the river and smaller canals. It's also way more interactive. The guide was an ace. Don't skip this...maximum value!

Great Value / Beautiful Sites - This tour was very nice and was very affordable. The guide was friendly and nice. The boat was nice and we were able to see a lot because of the small size with the ease of navigation. While I liked the trip it could have been a bit more informative. The guide did not share much history of Gdansk nor of the Solidarity movement born right near where we boarded our boat. It could be much better if he changed his jokes with some interesting information! Either way, for the sites alone I would highly suggest this trip.

Short but nice tour of Gdansk - Guide was knowledgeable with a good sense of humor. Learned a good deal about Gdansk. Tour was relatively short and the pickup spot pretty far from the city center. Wouldike to have seen a little more around the shipbuilding area. Overall, it was enjoyable and we were happy the rain held off!

All right. - Fun to see Gdansk surroundings from the boat. Was a little cool the day we went, so recommend a good jacket / rain jacket if you go in the fall. You can order hot cocoa, soda, beer etc.
