Great tour. Our guide was friendly and aware of the weather. Very informative. I enjoyed the inside of St. Mary’s Church the most. 2 and a half hours is a bit long, especially if the weather is poorly but I am so glad I booked this tour on my visit to Gdansk.

Incredibly beautiful city you should definitely plan 3 hours because you can experience so many blessings and blessings. Feel free to plan a little break where you can sit back and have a coffee.
