Brilliant tour, brilliant guide - The first thing I tend to do when on a city break is book a walking tour to get a feel for the place from a guide who knows the city well.
We met Kate (Dynamite) at 11am for this 2.5 hr tour and it was excellent. As a lot of things in the main town are close together you don't actually spend that much time walking but you will get your 10,000 or so steps in.
Kate was friendly, informative and open to questions and was also happy to give recommendations on places to go, see, eat, drink etc. At one point we found ourselves outside in a hail storm but Kate had it covered an whipped us inside to avoid the worst of it. I have used Walkative tours before in other cities would definitely recommend.

Fantastic tour with Kate Dynamite! - We had a fantastic tour with Kate DYNAMITE! She was very knowledgeable, fun, friendly and an excellent professional. Not only could she talk about the history of the city, but she also spoke about important facts in history that has defined what we saw on the tour! I truly recommend both her as a tour guide and Walkative!

Great tour - We took a walking tour around Gdańsk with Filip and it was brilliant. His knowledge was outstanding and we learnt so much.
The highlight was at the Gdańsk Post Office where he told us about the FreeCity of Gdańsk, the start of WWII and new Europe and Solidarność. Putting Poland in this historical perspective was very emotional from many angles. Thank you Tufi.
