About this tour
This session walks through part of Gdansk Zoo, one of the larger zoos on the Baltic coast. You see the big cat enclosure and the walk-through bird aviary, timed for whenever the animals are most active. It is a relaxed, outdoor session rather than a history walk.
I start with a sound check near the entrance, then move enclosure by enclosure, pointing out conservation work along the way. Questions are welcome throughout, and I send a short list of species we saw afterwards.
This suits families or anyone who wants a lighter, outdoor session. It also works well as a break between longer old town calls.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city

Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Gdansk before heading out.

The Big Cats 21 min
The camera settles on the zoo's big cat enclosure, and I explain a little about the conservation programmes the zoo takes part in.
-
The Bird Aviary 21 min
Further along, I show the walk-through aviary and point out a few species native to this part of the Baltic coast.
-
Your questions 9 min
Time to ask anything about Gdansk: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Bigos and Oliwa, worth a slower look.
Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.
- Any phone, tablet or laptop with a camera works. You watch, the guide does the walking.
- Times are shown in Warsaw time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
