Hi there! Nice to meet you

Marek

Greetings, fellow travelers! I'm Marek, your gateway to uncovering the hidden magic of Gdańsk. As a 100% local, born and raised within these historic walls (🇵🇱), I offer a unique perspective that blends deep-rooted knowledge with a touch of offbeat charm.

More than just a guide:

Certified City Guru: Get ready for an officially certified experience () as I lead you through cobbled streets, majestic churches, and Amber-filled shops. But forget dry history lessons – my narratives come alive with passion and local anecdotes.

Urban Planning Mastermind: My background in Urban Planning gives me a unique understanding of Gdańsk's architecture, evolution, and hidden secrets. Imagine deciphering the city's layout like a pro, uncovering stories etched in every brick and cobblestone.

Self-Made Historian: My thirst for knowledge goes beyond official certifications. I'm a self-taught history buff, delving into lesser-known tales and forgotten corners to paint a vibrant picture of Gdańsk's past.

Melomaniac & Night Owl: After exploring historical gems, let's discover the city's vibrant nightlife (). Whether you're a jazz enthusiast or a club hopper, I'll guide you to hidden bars, live music venues, and local haunts with the best atmosphere.

Experience Gdańsk beyond the Tourist Trail:

Uncover Hidden Gems: Ditch the crowds and explore forgotten churches, secret courtyards, and historical oddities known only to locals. Imagine stumbling upon hidden amber workshops, charming cafes tucked away in backstreets, and breathtaking viewpoints off the beaten path.

Dive into Local Culture: Savor authentic Polish cuisine in family-run restaurants, learn traditional crafts from local artisans, and experience the warmth and hospitality of Gdańsk's residents. I'll connect you with the soul of the city, not just its tourist facade.

Marek could not have planned a better day for us! He’s 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 don’t think you’d 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!

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

We had a great tour with Marek. He is very knowledgeable and caters the tour to your personal interests. He was very adaptable, as we wanted to take a coffee break in the middle of our tour, and he changed his plans around to accommodate us. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Gdansk! Great tour

We did a kickstarter tour with Marek. He is the most knowledgeable and nicest guy and managed to answer all our questions, whatever we threw at him, with great expertise. The 2 hr tour was a great introduction to the delights of Gdańsk and its fascinating history. We’d recommend hiring him if you want a personal experience and in interested in Gdańsk’s history, architecture and culture from a local’s point of view. Marek is a mine of information
