Our guide Bastian showed us some hidden gems we would never have found on our own. We were at our own pace, so much more able to see the sites and learn from a local expert. Cycling is the way to go, much easier than walking for long distances, and lets you really see better than from a car or bus. The bikes are great and so much fun to ride on the great trails and lanes in the tri-city area. Gdansk is the most beautiful and interesting city, and Sopot is an inviting resort, so the bike tour and information from Bastian makes me want to return again for an even longer stay.

We were on a bike trip through Gdansk and had a question about how to best get to Elblag. Sebastian went out of his way to help us. Not only did he give us different suggestions he also called the tourist office and made reservations for a ferry we had to take. Amazing. If I was looking for a local guide here in Gdansk this would be my company. helpful for the live if what they do.

We had a brilliant afternoon and evening with Sebastian. We learned so much about the history of Gdansk and Poland in a very informal setting while enjoying lots of delicious food and drink. It didn't feel like we were folloing a strict set route, instead Sebastian tailored the tour to suit us and so it felt more like being shown round by a (very knowledgable) friend than a tour guide.

I highly recommend this tour and top tip is to try not to eat too much in the first restaurant, there is soooo much more to come!

On arrival to the bike shop for the tour we was met by Dawid, a very pleasant man who showed us the bikes we were to use. These bikes where old city bikes of a fixed gear nature with a reverse braking action. Unfortunately the 'one size' bike was too big for my partner and coupled with the difficulty to manoeuvre the pedals to get on to the bike, she wasn't confident riding it (she is an experienced cyclist also) At this point i didn't feel happy to ride and if we walked away at that point i would have been slightly aggrieved, but in acceptance that although the bike was too big it would have been our choice not to ride. However, Dawid phoned Sebastian and after a 5 minute conversation he agreed to cancel the ride from his end and for us to Contact Victor for a refund witnessed by Dawid and the bike shop owner. When we requested a refund through viator it was the opposite, he refused the refund in bad faith (the sum of £120) for the pair of us stating we were not entitled. This tour may be the best in Gdansk but beware of this shady character and definitely do not take his word, i hope Sebastian enjoys his ill gotten gains from this particular episode!

Thank you for your opinion. Nevertheless, we are surprised by your opinion and embezzlement. On the day when you wrote the opinion, the Viator company by which you made the trip sent a refund to your account. As I promised in a phone call, the entire amount was transferred to your account. Viator has the funds you transfer to them and we have no influence on the speed with which these funds are returned to your account. I am very sorry for the opinion you have sent in my direction because I did not deserve it in any way. The other thing is the bikes we use for our trips. These are city bikes, not older than one year. We bought all our bikes in 2018. As you have seen, we cooperate with a bicycle service that services our equipment after every trip. Our route does not require specialized bicycles, as it is a city tour with sightseeing. All our guests were satisfied. Our friends also offered you new bikes from the shop window, but these also did not suit you. We do not know your expectations and we are very sorry that we could not meet them. Best regards, Sebastian from Poland By Locals Team

We had originally just booked the Multi culture tour but then our food tour was cancelled so Poland by Locals suggested 2 tours mixing multi culture with the Old Town and some food tasting.
We had a great time, Sebastian was an excellent guide, very knowledgable and considerate. We saw so much in a short space of time.
We really don’t think you could find a better guide and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Company. Well organised and very prompt replies to any emails.

I have always had a interest in Eastern European history from post war right through to the present day, and on a recent visit to Gdansk, I could not pass by the chance to visit the birth place of the Solidarity movement.

I only knew the basics of the events that took place in the ship yards, and probably less on Lech Walesa (while I was doing my trip solo, my Ukrainian wife knew all about him and told me that I would love this tour as it will be right up my street) and had no issue booking it.

I met my guide Bozena at the entrance to the European Solidarity Centre, and for the first hour we went around the museum getting a real in depth account of the events on 1980, and what had been leading up to it, with discussions on the 1970's strikes, what caused the 1980 strikes and the straw that broke the camels back, with the rise of Lech Walsea, the birth of the Solidarity movement, the knock on effects from that, not only in Poland (starting with Martial Law), but with the first free elections that followed and the domino effect it had across Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, with its effects still having ripples to this day.

After this we went out in to the actual ship yards themselves, which as someone from a construction and metal work background, was something that really appealed to me.

Tour ended at one of the converted warehouses in the shipyard which is now a Hipster Hangout with street food, coffee and craft beer (my type of place!!!!).

All in all Bozena was a fantastic guide, and I got out of this tour exactly what I was looking for, and that was the whole in's and out's of the history of the events in Gdanks 40 years ago.

Can fully recommend this tour for anyone.

I did the 3 hour bike tour of Gdansk departing 10am. My guide Olga was really lovely & spoke perfect English & answered all of my questions about Gdansk. The bike tour is not only of the old town, but takes you out to the harbour/docks & gives a comprehensive & informative history of Gdansk. The cycling is easy with lots of stops & even a bottle of water is provided. I have done a few European cities by guided bike tours as I always find them a great way to discover a new city. I thoroughly recommend this tour.

Gdansk is a very cool city, it still has some original medieval buildings, and some of the city has been rebuilt post war. The downtown area was interesting it is being rejuvenated. Interesting your.
