Viking Homeland Cruise Gdańsk Excursion

[Peppy tourist]

What is the best way to plan our day in Gdańsk to see the European Solidarity Center and Gdańsk on foot. Should we take two Viking excursions: 1.  Gdansk City of Solidarity ($109) and 2. the City of Gdańsk on Foot (included)? If so, in what order? If not, how do we optimize our time?  Thank you.

I just went back to our excursions for this cruise.

 

We did the Gdansk on foot, but not the Solidarity Center.

 

Looking at the times available, the Solidarity Center through Viking only had one departure time and that was 9:15am.  This was a 5.5 hour excursion.  The last departure for Gdansk on foot was 2:30pm.  There would be no guarantee that you would be back on time to make that departure of the included tour.  Technically if time is correct you would not be back on time for the included tour.

 

You could book both, but no guarantee that you could make both.

 

Look carefully in MVJ at the departure times of both, they could be different for your cruise. We have often booked the included and an optional tour in the same day, but you have to be careful that the times match.  We have had tours that have one hour between arriving back and leaving again and that has worked.

 

Look at the times and see what is possible.  Consider that the time if 5.5 hours for the Solidarity and that is a bus ride.  We have been back early, on time, and late from excursions.
