“We were met early by our guide Maciej and he promptly commenced our tour of the Cathedral and Castle.

3.Malbork Castle Half-Day Private Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 29 reviews · 6 hours · from $108Best value

Travel from Gdansk to Malbork Castle in a private vehicle with an English-speaking driver. Explore the Teutonic Knights’ vast red-brick fortress with a GPS-based audio guide, historic arms, old technical devices, and the History of Amber exhibition. Hotel pickup, admission, and return transport are included.

“The driver spoke English fluently and explained a lot of things about Polish history. Very flexible in pick-up and drop-off time and location. We enjoyed the visit of the castle and it was very nice that afterwards, when we were tired, to just sit in the car and be taken home without worrying about train times. I booked this tour also because of the late pick-up time (11:00) - if you are travelling with teenagers like me, then a start at 08:00 (like some of the other Tours) is just too early.”
