Description
️ Step back into the medieval soul of Gdańsk – not through a textbook, but through the sandals of a wandering monk.
I’m Brother Thomas – your not-so-typical guide. Once a melex driver, now a full-time storyteller in a monk’s robe. This isn’t just a walking tour. It’s a theatrical, sometimes absurd, always fascinating journey through time.
♂️ We’ll wander the cobbled alleys of the Old Town, peek into forgotten courtyards, and uncover stories of pirates, plagues, cursed gold, ghost lovers, and lost towers. I mix real history with urban legends and just the right dose of dark humor.
✨ You’ll see:
– The towering Gothic churches of the Hanseatic golden age
– Mariacka Street – a gem of Gdańsk’s medieval beauty
– Hidden corners and backstreets with shocking pasts
– Strange true tales (and stranger local characters)
Feel free to take pictures – yes, even of the monk.
♂️ What makes this different?
– I’m not a boring guide with a flag. I play a role.
– I don’t just show you buildings. I tell you what they whisper.
– I speak fluent English, some German, and… the language of drama.
After the tour, you’re welcome to join me for a beer or ask for food tips. Many do. Some never leave.
Wear comfortable shoes. Bring curiosity. And come ready to hear the stories Gdańsk rarely tells.
