Our family met with Marek for a food tour of Gdaลsk. We learned about Polish food (and vodka) traditions, but what we loved perhaps more was understanding the historical context and influences shaping Poland's culinary landscape. Marek has an impressive knowledge of Poland's development as a nation and he shared stories and answered our questions along our tour. Marek is engaging and it is obvious that he is passionate about Poland and desires to tell the layered and complicated history of the country. I'd book Marek again in a heartbeat. Marek is a marvelous guide

My wife and I booked a food and beer tour in Gdaลsk. Marek is a great tour guide and host. He provided history of the region and his personal perspective of the city as we walked through Gdaลsk to the restaurants and breweries. The food was plentiful and very tasty! The beer samplings were just as impressive with the highlight being the Jopenbier.
I highly recommend Marek as a guide!Fabulous Food & Beer Tour of Gdaลsk

Marek could not have planned a better day for us! Heโs so friendly, and truly born and raised there in Gdansk. Plus, he studied history and architecture, so he was such an encyclopedia of knowledge. And he gave us more than just the usual historical facts, he gave us history into the culture and people, things I donโt think youโd get in a standard tour. And our food stops were so delicious! He told us the history of the dishes and how his family would prepare them etc. It was truly THE PERFECT experience!The best Gdansk experience!

A fabulous food tour with excellent explanations of each dish, where it came from, etc. Marek went out of his way to show us nooks and crannies of the city we wouldnโt have known about on our own. He was excited to show us around and a delight to talk with. 10 Tastings with Marek

Marek is a charming young man with a great depth of local knowledge. He is obviously passionate about his hometown of Gdansk and enjoys sharing the history and stories of the city. The food and drink we tasted were delicious and the three hours passed in a flash. We were full, happy and tired at the end of the tour. Definitely the highlight of our visit to beautiful Gdansk! Fun, food and fascinating facts

Marek brought to life the history of Poland and Gdansk, from past and present in an educational and interesting way. As a family with teenage children, we would never have visited and experienced what we did without Marek. One of the highlights was the food, which reflected the various influencers that Poland has been influenced by throughout history. We liked that the tour was tailored to our areas of interest and food preferences. Nice that we got tips on both places to eat and where the best donuts can be bought. We can warmly recommend Marek.Best food and history tour in Gdansk

We had a really fantastic afternoon with Marek. He kindly put together a food and walking tour based on our requirements, and we were treated to the sights and flavours of gdansk. It is such a beautiful town! Marek is so knowledgeable about local history, and also recommended us places to go on other days (for food and cultural excursions). We are a group of 3 adults, and it was great to have a private tour with Marek. We can be a little unruly and probably demanding, and Marek dealt with us with humour and kindness. We would completely recommend contacting Marek for a tour around Gdansk.Excellent food and history tour with Marek

After a minor delay (5 mins due to snow related traffic) we met our host Marek. Marek was extremely knowledgable regarsing the architectural and historic sights in and around Ghdansk, which really added to the food tour. The Polish Resteraunt qe went to was first class, we experinced 10 different tastes of Ghdansk/Polish cuisine. From Sour Soup, to Pierogies and Amber Beer, it was all excellent and really ticked the box as authentic Polish cuisine tasting. With the stunning knowledge and passion Marek shared his passion for food, history and architecture of this stunningly beautiful city. Excellent tour.Brilliant Food and Cultural Tour

Mark had a change of plans so we ended up touring with Kaja and she was a superb guide! Very friendly and informative. We spent 2 hours walking through the main part of Gdansk with her and it was the perfect amount of time. The tour had a really good balance of details and variety of sights - some off the beaten path. One of the best tour guides weโve ever had! Kaja is an excellent guide!

Marek is an excellent, very knowledgeable guide. The two hours were packed with interesting information about Gdansk, we should have booked a longer tour. However, when booking, one has to note that the withlocals platform does not entirely reliably show the hours Marek is not available. This is not Marek's fault, and Marek immediately tried to get into touch with us, but it can nevertheless cause unnecessary inconvenience. Good choice

The 2 hr tour was a great introduction to the delights of Gdaลsk and its fascinating history. Weโd recommend hiring him if you want a personal experience and in interested in Gdaลskโs history, architecture and culture from a localโs point of view. Marek is a mine of information

We booked a 2 hour private tour for 6 people which was great value and the perfect introduction to Gdansk.
Marek arrived promptly and was an engaging, interesting and entertaining host.
The tour was a really well balanced mix of history, architectural oversights and social observations.
It was a really cold day but Marek held our attention throughout.
We always book a walking tour on any break and Marek definitely has the skills and personality that a guide needs.
100% would recommend. Great walking tour

Leider hat Marek etwas durcheinander gekriegt und tauchte nicht auf. Wir haben eine Weile gewartet und mussten ihn dann anrufen.
Immerhin hat er sich entschuldigt und einen Ersatz, Sonja, organisiert aber leider zwei Stunden spรคter. Das hieร, dass wir unsere andere Plรคne รคndern mussten.
Die Fรผhrung mit Sonja hat uns gefallen. Die untere Note beruht auf die Fรผhrung mit ihr.Er erschien nicht.

We booked this tour with Marek relatively last minute and are extremely grateful we did. All we really knew about Gdaลsk was that it is the home of Lech Walesa, and the Solidarity movement. In our tour Marek covered a remarkable amount of architectural, cultural and socio-political ground. We valued having an educated professional with excellent English as a guide who was able to articulate the nuanced history of this city.Educational and highly enjoyable

Marek was a very knowledgeable and patient guide. He was willing to answer all our questions and spent some extra time with us to make sure we saw everything he had planned. He gave good local advice and gave us a very good overview of Polish history with emphasis on Gdansk history which is quite unique in some ways. He was particularly interested in architecture and gave us a real appreciation for the beauty of the city. We were able to use the rest of our short time there visiting places he recommended.A great way to start our time in Gdansk

Marek took us on a short two hour tour of the old town of Gdansk that was highly interesting and entertaining. Marekโs passion, enthusiasm and extensive knowledge of the subject matter was plainly obvious, plus in spite of the short amount of time, he conveyed everything clearly and in a very enjoyable manner. Plus, when we were caught in a brief 30 minute downpour, he paused the tour while we took shelter and then resumed where we had left off, still putting in the full 2 hours of tour time. We could not recommend Marek more highly - you will be happy with your choice should you decide to use his services!Wonderful tour of old yown Gdansk
