Gdansk & Malbork Castle Tour from Warsaw with Lunch
Malbork Castle's brick defense walls are the real draw, not the postcard version of Gdansk.
A small-group day tour from Warsaw to Gdansk and Malbork Castle on the Baltic coast, with hotel pickup, English-speaking guide, and traditional Polish lunch. The tour runs 16 hours and includes walking time through Gdansk Old Town, the medieval castle in Malbork, and transport by car or minibus. Groups stay small, and the guide keeps distance during the walking portions.

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.

Is this one for you?Book the Standard Car if you're traveling solo or as a couple and want the full experience at the lowest price; choose Premium or Super Premium if you prefer more comfort and space during the 16-hour day and don't mind the extra cost. The small-group format means you'll share the vehicle and guide with other travelers, which keeps the price down but also means the pace and stops are set — if you'd rather control the itinerary, private transportation is available for an additional fee.
