Experience an amazing journey with us through the history of Gdansk and Poland at the same time. From the Free City of Gdansk to the attack of the Red Army. Learn stories about the city that you likely wouldn’t find out about otherwise, and visit off-the-beaten-track locations to learn about the impact of World War II.

    Westerplatte experience

    Walking to monument at Westerplatte was great. Guide (Brzeta? Spelling may be incorrect) was very knowledgeable and accommodating.

    Gdańsk Tour review

    Guide was nice but not super talkative (didn’t give a lot of commentary unless we asked questions). He was knowledgeable and kind, but just not very enthusiastic.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We really appreciate it! That is very helpful information, we know what we have to improve in trainings of the guides. Sorry that you had to make an effort to get information, but I hope that in the end of the day you get all of it and your experience was good, and visit in our beautiful city was good as well.

    What an amazingly...

    What an amazingly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, entertaining and friendly tour guide Bożena was. We felt as if we were spending time with a friend. We loved being driven around in the warmth of Bozena’s car as it was very chilly. She answered all our questions and gave us fabulous tips of where to eat. We did not feel rushed at all visiting the World War Two sites and old town. Thank you ever so much Bozena. This tour is not to be missed.

    Top experience

    This guide is straight out the best guide there is. Very knowledgeable about the history of the city and area and eager to share and welcoming.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review 😁 We are happy that you had a good experience… you had a short visit, so still there is a lot of things to discover in Gdansk, so you are welcome back one day ;)

    Great company, beautiful city, and fantastic commentary

    This tour was the absolute highlight of our 15-day trip to the Baltic! The tour company is very professional and reached out to us several times in advance of the tour to make sure we had the meeting information. They also noticed that our ship was arriving at a different port than originally planned, and contacted us to adjust the times to ensure we got the full experience. Bozenka greeted us at the port with a sign and made heading out very easy. We were in a comfortable private mini bus with plenty of complimentary bottled water - a touch I really appreciated after paying another company 2 Euros per bottle in Finland. It took about 45 minutes to get to Westerplatte to see the monuments from the first battle of WWII. Bozenka shared tons of stories with us along the way and was absolutely charming. We then headed to Gdansk where the tour company has special privileges to enter and park, so it was very convenient. The city is spectacular and we appreciated all the information shared. Bozenka went at our pace and answered all of our questions. She was willing to share information about her life in Poland and we enjoyed hearing about her family. We were returned to the port right on time. It was a great day we will not soon forget!

    Gdansk Word War Two Themed Private Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gdansk.

    How much does Gdansk Word War Two Themed Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $143 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 Word War Two Themed Private Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 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 Word War Two Themed Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 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 Word War Two Themed Private Tour?

    +

    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 Word War Two Themed Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Gdansk Word War Two Themed Private Tour?

    +

    Around 2 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Gdansk Word War Two Themed Private Tour 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.

    What are the best things to do in Gdansk?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Gdansk experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gdansk Food and Sightseeing Tour with Bart, Discover Gdansk Walking Tour, Gdańsk: City Sightseeing Tour by Buggy/Golf Cart LIVE GUIDED 1H. 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.

    What is included in Gdansk Word War Two Themed Private Tour?

    +

    Included: Hotel pick-up; Hotel drop-off; Professional guide; Private tour; and Beverages. Not included: Lunch; and Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Gdansk Word War Two Themed Private Tour include hotel pickup?

    +
