Your Certified Tour Guide in Gdansk – Private Tours with a Local Expert

Discover Gdansk and the Tricity region with confidence, depth, and genuine local insight. I am a licensed professional tour guide based in Gdansk, offering private, tailor-made tours for travelers who want more than a standard sightseeing experience.

Each tour is designed around your interests, pace, and expectations — whether you are passionate about history, culture, architecture, or meaningful storytelling.

Who I Am

My name is Anna Kotula, and I am a certified tour guide in Gdansk and the Pomerania region of Poland. I work with individual travelers, couples, families, cruise passengers, and small private groups from all over the world.

My approach combines solid historical knowledge with a personal, human perspective — because history makes the most sense when it is told through real stories.

I specialize exclusively in private tours. I never combine groups, which allows me to fully adapt each itinerary to your needs, interests, and travel style.

Why Travel with Me

Choosing the right guide makes all the difference. Here is what my guests value most:

  • 100% private tours — no shared groups, no rush
  • Tailor-made itineraries adjusted to your pace and interests
  • Clear, engaging storytelling instead of dry facts
  • Professional logistics — smooth timing, transport coordination, museum reservations
  • An honest local perspective from someone who lives and works here

My goal is to make you feel comfortable, informed, and genuinely connected to the places we visit.

Experience & Specialization

I have extensive experience guiding international visitors through:

  • Gdansk Old Town & Main City
  • World War II history (Westerplatte, Stutthof, Museum of the Second World War)
  • Solidarity movement & modern history (European Solidarity Centre)
  • Amber history and trade
  • The Tricity area — Gdansk, Sopot, and Gdynia

I regularly work with cruise passengers, providing well-timed shore excursions that respect ship schedules and guest comfort.
