Marienburg: Private Tour ab Danzig

The Marienburg impresses with its rich history and its size. The special thing about our trip, however, was that the round trip became an informative experience. Our special thanks go to our great driver, Mirek Kopec, who was not only our driver, but also a fantastic guide, and through his competence brought us a lot closer to Poland. It was a pleasure to listen to him.

A great day trip from Gdansk. Our guide was very interesting and the castle is beautiful. We highly recommend this day trip.

Our driver Mike picked us up at our hotel and drove my husband and I the approximate one hour drive to and from our hotel in Gdansk to Malbork Castle. He was a fountain of information with great insights about the history of Gdansk and Poland. He took back roads through the Polish countryside on the return with a special stop at a bakery in a small village town. We had a different private tour guide at the Castle with more than 10 years of experience giving Malbork Castle tours. She provided an excellent tour giving us all the important details without boring us with too much information. I highly recommend taking this tour if you have time while visiting Gdansk. The castle is a definite highlight while visiting Poland and this private tour was an absolute pleasure!

Great experience at Malbork Castle! Enjoyed time with tour guide Alicia with 47 years of experience! Mike picked us up and dropped us back home giving us a great overview on the history of Gdansk, Malbork castle and everything in between!

Driver was waiting for me in the lobby of my hotel with my name on a sign. He took me to his vehicle and transported me while talking about sites we were passing along he way. I asked to be taken to some very photogenic spots where I could take photos of the entire castle and he accommodated me without hesitation. Once we arrived at the ticket counter my private guide, an English teacher, guided me for 2.5 hours through the castle explaining the history of the castle to date. She did a flawless job and was easy to understand making it a very enjoyable tour. The driver met us promptly at the designated spot and we returned to Gdansk via a different route while he again spoke about the significance of the sites we were passing along the way. From start to finish the driver and guide were professional and provided a very enjoyable drive and tour. I highly recommend.

This is a great day trip from Gdansk to tour this 13th century home to the Teutonic Order. The sheer scale of Malbork Castle is jaw-dropping, we spent 4 hours on a private guided tour from our guide, Johanna, who had been doing this for 25 years. We’re also told the self-guided audio tour is very good. No downside for us as we visited at the end of August, but we have been told it can be over-crowded during peak season. About 45 min car drive from old Gdansk. Definitely bring water and snacks on warm days.

Both our Driver Mike, and our Castle Guide were excellent. We felt like Mike had become a new friend of ours. His Minibus/van was in pristine condition, and his knowledge of Gdansk and surrounding areas was excellent. Which he happily shared with us.

We booked a private Tour with a german speaking guide.He show us everything und could very good explain

Our driver, Marek was wonderful. The castle was amazing. Marek spoke perfect English. He provided great commentary sbout the area. Made sure we were taken care of. Great experience. Highly recommend Marek and a visit to Malbork.

Wonderful experience. The driver was right on time and had all sorts of knowledge about Malbork and Gdansk generally. Once at the castle we met the guide, who was simply superb. Energetic, knowledgeable, and super friendly. I would highly recommend this tour.
