    We really enjoyed the tour with Elwira. She is a licensed PTTK guide and with a lot of experience. She was happy to tailor her talk to our specific questions and gave us suggestions for further places to see after the tour, like the site of the synagogue. She had great energy, was very engaging and her English is very good!

    Prix élevé (80 EUR) car j’étais seul dans le groupe… mais deux heures intéressantes pour visiter les points d’intérêt et avoir un aperçu de l’histoire de la ville

    Our guide Elwira managed to fit a huge amount of interesting facts and information about Gbansk in the alloted 2hr tour. Elwira was very friendly and spoke excellent English.
