Why cruise passengers choose a private guide

A port day is short. Spend it well.

Ship excursions move large groups on a fixed script. A private local guide gives you the same peace of mind about timing — and a much better day.

  • Private, not a coach

    Your group only. No waiting for forty people to get back on a bus.

  • Built around your ship

    We work backwards from your all-aboard time and agree a latest return time before we start.

  • A local who knows the timings

    How long the walk really takes, where the queues are, and which sights are worth your limited hours.

  • A clear meeting point

    Agreed in advance, with simple directions from your terminal — no guessing on the day.

Where does your ship dock?

Gdańsk or Gdynia — we plan for both

Cruise lines often list the stop simply as “Gdańsk”. Check your itinerary for the exact port — or just send us your ship name and date and we’ll check for you.

Port of Gdańsk

Docking in Gdańsk

You are already in the city. We agree a meeting point and head into the historic centre — and, if your ship docks near Westerplatte, the place where the Second World War began is right on your doorstep.

Exact meeting point confirmed with you before your cruise.

Port of Gdynia

Docking in Gdynia

Gdynia is about 25 km from Gdańsk. The SKM commuter train reaches Gdańsk Main Station in around 35–40 minutes; a taxi takes roughly half an hour, depending on traffic. We meet you in Gdańsk and plan your return journey into the timing.

Option to meet guests in Gdynia and travel in together — to confirm.

Cruise FAQ

The questions every cruise guest asks

Will I get back to my ship in time?

Yes — this is the one thing we never compromise on. Before the tour starts we agree a latest return time based on your all-aboard time and the journey back to your terminal, with a comfortable buffer.

Where will you meet us?

We agree the meeting point with you in advance. For ships docking in Gdańsk we meet close to the historic centre or at an agreed point near the terminal; from Gdynia you reach Gdańsk by train (around 35–40 minutes) or taxi, and we meet you on arrival.

Which cruise ports do you serve?

Ships listed as calling at “Gdańsk” dock either in the Port of Gdańsk or in Gdynia, a neighbouring city about 25 km away. We welcome guests from both.

Do you provide transport from the port?

No — we are walking-tour guides and do not operate vehicles. We explain exactly how to reach the meeting point (train or taxi from Gdynia), and within Gdańsk everything is walkable or a short tram ride away.

What happens if my ship is delayed?

Send us a WhatsApp message as soon as you know. We adapt the itinerary to the time you actually have.

Can we visit Malbork Castle during a port day?

Our tours focus on Gdańsk itself. On a single port day we recommend spending your time seeing Gdańsk properly rather than travelling to Malbork and back.

Can the itinerary be customized?

Always. Tell us what interests you and how much time you have — the itineraries above are starting points.

How many people can you take?

Our tours are designed for couples, families and small groups travelling together. Tell us your number and we will confirm.
