What people are saying about Pomerania Province

Great tour of the city and beyond. Took us to places we wouldn't have seen on our walks around. Lots of really interesting information and great to do a boat tour in a smaller group. Very friendly and easy going. Great value.

An enjoyable trip. Because the group is small, you can hear easily and ask questions. The guide was knowledgeable and it was great to see Gdansk from another perspective. Recommended.

Good! Everything as described in ad. Barely made it! We were late and the boat had already left the dock a few meters but the crew was kind enough to head back to pick us up.

Really helpful guide with great knowledge of Gdansk. Was funny and engaging with cool facts about the city. They also provided blankets, umbrellas and water too

Good fun, knowledgable tour guide and a great way to see the city from the water.
