5Nice Balance of Food and Tour
Lots of good history. Food was fine, too. A beer with the last meal would have made it just perfect!
5Excellent tour

Overall it was a very enjoyable experience one of which I would recommend
5Great food, drinks and host
BART was a great host, he shared an insight into the history of Gdansk making it both interesting and often humorous. Our first stop was a beer tasting where we tried 3 small beers and shared a charcuterie board. The next stop was a vodka tasting where we tried 2 flavored vodkas. The third stop we tried vodka with the gold flakes inside and the fourth stop we had a 3 course dinner! We had a very interesting and pleasurable time, food and drinks were lovely. Highly recommend for couples or singles.
