The experience

The day starts with pickup from your Warsaw hotel and a drive north to the coast. You'll spend time in Gdansk Old Town on a walking tour with an English-speaking guide, moving through the streets where the Solidarity movement began. Gdansk sits on the Baltic and serves as Poland's main seaport. The city's architecture and waterfront draw most visitors, but the real architecture lesson comes later.

Before returning to Warsaw, the tour stops in Malbork to explore the medieval castle: an outstanding example of brick defense construction that stands apart from the coastal charm of Gdansk. The castle visit is shorter on Mondays than other days. A traditional lunch of pierogi and water fits somewhere in the middle of the day, breaking up the driving and walking.

You travel by car or minibus depending on which option you choose at checkout. The driver speaks English and handles all transport. Your hotel pickup and drop-off are included. The tour is not private (you'll share the vehicle and the guide with other travelers), but groups stay small. If you prefer to travel alone, private transportation is available for an extra fee and can be arranged at booking.
