“Did not pick me up or drop me off at my hotel despite saying that they would. The driver spoke excellent English but chose not to say a word on the way there or the way back. The guide at the castle did not speak excellent English and I only understood about 60 percent of what she said. There are many steps and rugged cobblestones at the castle. I felt bad for a lady in our group who had to sit out a lot because it was difficult to get around. We were rushed the whole time. No time for the gift shop or taking pictures or getting a water…”

3.From Gdansk: Malbork Castle Half-Day Private Tour

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

Travel privately from Gdansk to Malbork Castle with an English-speaking driver and a castle audio guide in your chosen language. Allow about three hours inside for the Gothic fortress, old devices, arms collection, and History of Amber exhibition, then return by car.

“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.”

Der Taxifahrer kaufte auch die Eintrittskarten Vorort und buchte dort spontan die Führung. Schade, den Ludwig unser Guide hätte uns noch viel mehr erklären wollen und können.”
