Itinerary
Pick-up from hotels or apartments in the Gdańsk and Sopot areas.
The route to Malbork leads through the unique Vistula Delta region, known for its picturesque flat landscapes, historic arcaded houses, and a rich cultural heritage shaped by centuries of Dutch, Mennonite, and Polish influences.
Discover the Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork, one of the greatest monuments in Poland and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Learn about the history of the Teutonic Order and explore one of the largest gothic castle in the world. On this 5-hour tour, a qualified guide will share with you the most interesting stories relating to Malbork Castle. The tour includes sightseeing the 14th-century Palace of the Grand Master, which at one time was the residence of the so-called Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, visiting St. Mary’s Church, watching the castle’s various permanent and temporary exhibitions like collection of weaponry, armor, flags and enormous Amber Museum. In 1274, over 40 years after the Prussian conquests, the Teutonic Order started building Malbork Castle. It had gradually become the most important edifice for the Teutonic Knights – it was the headquarters of the Teutonic Master, and hence the capital of the entire Teutonic State. Malbork Castle, beautifully situated by the Nogat river, is currently considered to be the largest gothic castle in Europe and an example of the medieval defense architecture. In 1997 it was added to the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list, and it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and significant monuments in Poland.

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.
Thank you for your review. We are very appreciate for your testimonials.
A great day trip from Gdansk. Our guide was very interesting and the castle is beautiful. We highly recommend this day trip.
Thanks a lot for review :)
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!
Thank you so much for review. We organise private tours which are not the cheapest one but highest quality.
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!
Thank you for review. You are welcome for other tours during your next visit in Gdansk.
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.
Our private tours are on the the highest standard. Thank you for choosing private tour instead regular one.
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.
Thanks a lot for review. We trying our best to have highest standard of our tours.
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.
