The experience
Three hours, 13 tastings, and a route through Gdansk Old Town that moves from one neighborhood landmark to the next. You'll start at Brama Wyżynna and walk past the medieval prison, the Golden Gate, and the second-largest armory in Europe before reaching the Old Town Hall with St. Mary's Basilica behind it. The guide shares the history of each place (the stories behind the buildings, the people who lived there, the way the city changed), and that context is what makes the food stops land differently than they would on your own.
The tastings happen at three restaurants and a pub, not all at once. You'll stop in the cellars beneath the Artus Court at Długi Targ for a starter, then move to a Polish pub styled after the PRL era, where the guide discusses the communist period and the Solidarity movement while you try local flavored vodkas. The main course (game dishes, Polish specialties and desserts) comes at a restaurant later in the tour. Craft beer and vodka shots are included throughout. If you're under 21, non-alcoholic drinks replace the alcohol. The pace is built around walking and talking, not sitting down for a long meal.
You'll also pass the monument to Daniel Fahrenheit, who was born in Gdansk, and Granary Island, one of Poland's most exclusive residential districts, before ending near the Gdansk Crane. The guide offers tips on what else to see in the area once the tour ends, so you know where to go next if the evening is still young.
Is this one for you?Book this tour if you want to taste Polish food in the places locals eat and understand the history behind each dish: the guide's stories about the city and the traditions are what make the tastings mean something beyond the flavor itself.

The tour moves through Gdansk Old Town on foot, stopping at landmarks like Brama Wyżynna, the Golden Gate, Dom Uphagena, the Old Town Hall, Długi Targ, and the Gdansk Crane. You'll walk between these sites and the three restaurants, so comfortable shoes are a good idea, though the pace is manageable for all fitness levels.
What is the PRL-era pub and why does the guide talk about it?
The PRL-era pub is styled after the Polish People's Republic period. The guide uses the stop to discuss Poland's communist history and the Solidarity movement, a labor and political movement that played a major role in Poland's fight for freedom and democracy in the 1980s, while you sample local flavored vodkas.
