Amazing Tour Guide!
Amazing experience on the Gdansk Beer Tour! Our tour guide was exceptional, she even gave us a list of places to go for after the tour. There are two tour stops, one for old world beer and one for new world beer. On the way between stops, the guide gives more about the history of the town. I see that she has 16 5⭐️ reviews and they are all well deserved!

Great experience highly recommended!!
A really good experience especially for beer lovers!! Interesting stories told by our host Ola, she was very knowledgeable and took us to great places to try so many types of beer We would really recommend this tour

It was a great tour!...
It was a great tour! Mariana is a knowledge guide and we learned a lot about the history of beer making in Poland and the processes used. Got to try a wide variety that I hadn't tried before and wouldn't typically order, and enjoyed every one!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback! We’re so glad Mariana could share the history of Polish beer-making with you and that you loved trying all the new styles. Hope to welcome you back again soon!

Great beers, great history, great fun
Ola was great! She's passionate about beer and in particular, Polish and Gdansk beers. A highlight was the jopenbier, an ancient style I've read about but never had the chance to sample until now. At the next stop I was treated to more great local beers, including a sublime fruit beer. The difference in the time it took me to get to the meeting point, and then back to the hotel was staggering. 🤣 I can highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: We’re so glad you enjoyed the craft beer tour with Ola! It’s always a treat when guests finally get to try traditional Jopenbier and discover local favorites like the fruit beer. That comment about the journey back to the hotel gave us a good laugh! Thanks for the recommendation, and we hope to see you in Gdansk again soon!

Fantastic Beer Tasting Experience with Friends in Gdańsk
We had an amazing beer tasting tour in Gdańsk with our friends! The experience was well organized and gave us a great introduction to the local beer scene. During the tour, we visited two very different places: a local brewery where we learned about the brewing process and tasted fresh beers, and a craft beer bar offering a fantastic selection of Polish craft beers. It was great to compare traditional styles with more creative and surprising flavors that we would probably never have tried on our own. Our guide, Mariana, was professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about both the history of Gdańsk and Polish beer culture. She made the tour engaging and fun from start to finish. The beers we tasted ranged from classic lagers and wheat beers to unique craft creations that pleasantly surprised us. It was a perfect combination of local culture, good company, and excellent beer. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Gdańsk and looking for an authentic and enjoyable experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We are thrilled to hear that you and your friends had such an amazing time on our craft beer tour. Gdańsk has such a rich, vibrant brewing history and local scene, so it's wonderful to know you enjoyed the lineup and the organization. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you all back to Gdańsk for another round in the future! Cheers!

Gdansk Craft Beer Tasting Tour: 10 Varieties and Historical Tales: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gdansk.
How much does Gdansk Craft Beer Tasting Tour: 10 Varieties and Historical Tales cost?
+
Prices start at $77 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Gdansk usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Gdansk Craft Beer Tasting Tour: 10 Varieties and Historical Tales take?
+
Plan for about 2.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Gdansk is not rushed.
Is Gdansk Craft Beer Tasting Tour: 10 Varieties and Historical Tales worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Gdansk, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Gdansk Craft Beer Tasting Tour: 10 Varieties and Historical Tales?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Gdansk Craft Beer Tasting Tour: 10 Varieties and Historical Tales suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Gdansk Craft Beer Tasting Tour: 10 Varieties and Historical Tales?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Gdansk can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Gdansk and add a light layer if any part of the 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Gdansk Craft Beer Tasting Tour: 10 Varieties and Historical Tales start and how do I get there?

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Gdansk within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Gdansk?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Gdansk?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
