★ 5.0 · 12 reviewsI had an amazing experience on the kayaking tour organized by Tratoli, where we explored the historic harbor and picturesque old town of Gdansk. Our guide, Szymon, was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and packed with knowledge about the city's rich history, sharing numerous entertaining and insightful anecdotes. The weather was on our side, making for a beautiful day out on the water, but even if it had been cooler, the dry suits provided would have kept us comfortably warm. The tour allowed ample opportunity for photographing the stunning scenery, with the hot chocolate break providing a delightful intermission.
