“I totally recommend visiting the Malbork castle but this tour only allowed ca 3 hours at the site and that was way too short time. A minimum of 3,5-4h at the castle is needed by our opinion. A little more time would also give the opportunity to stroll down to the village for some sightseeing.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 57 reviews · 7 hours · from $193

Review of the Treblinka memorial tour from Warsaw, with hotel pickup, Warsaw Ghetto stops, lunch, guide quality, value, and practical tips.

“The tour itself was great, and the driver went over and above showing us many things around Warsaw that related to the Treblinka camps. It is a very somber experience walking the grounds. watching the video at the museum, and seeing the pictures/items there as well. The traditional meal towards the end of the tour was very good as well. We went there in February and it had just snowed. This did keep us from getting to certain areas of the camps labour camp, and it did cover up some things that we could then not see. I would recommend this tour in the Spring, Summer, or Fall times.”

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

Review of a private Malbork Castle tour from Gdansk, with transport, audio guide, amber exhibition, pricing, timing, and practical tips.

“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.”
