Really nice castle & the biggest in the world too.
Definitely worth visiting. Even though we did it in Poland's coldest winter in 20 years, it felt warranted.

The guide was very knowledgeable and provided lots of history and information about the castle. The tour was great and I recommend it.

The tour of the castle was great. Our guide was very knowledgeable. I felt like we saw the main parts if the castle in the 3 hours that we had.
Our driver was proud and passionate about his country, which I love His driving had me a little anxious.

It was a great experience seeing the castle. The guide was very knowledgeable and learned a lot of history. The transport there and back seemed rushed. I feel like they could extend the tour by and hour and let people explore Malbork the city or even have time to grab a quick lunch or souvenir.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Dear Szymon, Thank you for your feedback. It means a lot to us, as we can recognize the areas we can improve. We will consider making those adjustments in our itinerary. Regards, Zuzanna MrShuttle

Good tour of Malbork Castle with experienced guide. Beautiful castle with extensive history. Our driver from Gdansk was excellent also and gave us great tips for seeing things in the tri-city area.

We took a comfortable van from Gdansk to Malbork Castle. Our guide there Alicia was excellent in telling us the history of the place.

Great trip - The shuttle driver gave us interesting background on the history of Poland and Gdansk on the way. Our guide at the Castle - Alessia- was fantastic. Her knowledge was vast and she rearranged our route so we could see things and avoid the downpour of rain. It’s a lot to see in the time allocated but well worth doing

Far shorter than expected trip - ended by the half day mark. I wonder if there could be a slightly longer and deeper program. In either way the guide is an on-site guide and likely have far less to do with the tour organizer itself. There’s some very minor punctuality slips re: pick up when we were leaving the castle but none too significant….
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Hi Philip, thank you for your review. The tour takes 4-5 hours in total, including transportation. The tour in Malbork Castle is provided by licensed guides directly from the Museum. The length of the tour is the standard one, the same for all participants, booked also by individual travelers directly through the Castle. Kind regards, Zuzanna MrShuttle

Excellent support from the driver. The tour was not the best for me having a walking stick but plenty to see in the lower level

Malbork is a massive place composed of three levels (upper, middle, and lower) sections of the castle. The work to restore the castle and maintain its beauty are excellent. Viator arranged for the driver (Simon) to pick us up at the hotel. We were in a group of 4, including ourselves. Simon is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the history, so you can learn quite a bit from him during the drive from/to Gdansk to/from Malbork. Simon explained the credentials of our guide Alicija, who has 47 years of experience with Malbork. Her knowledge is endless and she is a joy to be with. You will need every second of the 4 hours at Malbork to experience/learn its history. Go as early as you can as there are many tour groups.

Malbork Castle and driver were 5 stars. The booking experience was 1 star. After I was charged for the tour I was notified it would be canceled because I was the only traveler. I asked if I could make it a private tour. I was told I would have to book another person. Since I was traveling and couldn't look for another option in 2 days I agreed. Once I was charged I was told I would not have a tour guide but audio. Again I agreed because it was the day before. I was told I would be compensated but I did not get an amount even though I asked.I got the audio but the driver got the ticket on his phone so I didn't have one. I barely got in and couldn't get into a special exhibit because I didn't have a ticket. So a driver -Uber would have been less than 100 dollars - and a 20 or 30 dollar ticket cost me almost 300. Not value for a self guided tour. Very disappointed as I had good experiences with Viator in Japan and Peru. Obviously other tours don't have same problem as a bus for the Castle stopped in front of my hotel when I was leaving.

It was a really nice tour. The driver was pleasant and guide was knowledgeable, so that 3 hours long castle walking passed without even being aware. As it was the off season, there were not many visitors, hence it was easy to move around.

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the castle. She provided historical background as well as interesting anecdotes throughout the tour. Our driver also provided a wealth of local information on the drive. Customer service was exemplary throughout the process from booking until drop-off after the tour.

My husband loved it. He liked learning about the Teutonic Order. Having car transportation made it easy and we got there early before the crowd.
Jesse_L, Aug 2024
Annalise was an excellent guide with deep knowledge and the ability to sequence viewing in a way that largely avoided crowds at a very busy site.
MaryAnn_R, Jul 2024
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 before the way back. Just awful.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Hello, thank you very much for your review, and sorry that you didn't like our tour. We clearly informed you, that there is a fair in the city and our cars are not allowed to go directly to your hotel. There is a time either for gifts or getting a water, and our drivers communicated the breaks after the tour. What is more, the driver should focus on the road while driving for safety reasons. Kind regards, MrShuttle

Classic model for a castle, beautiful. Can only imagine if the moat were to be filled with water. Stunning view.
Christina_B, May 2024
Nicely organized. Driver showed up on time in a clean, comfortable Mercedes. When we arrived at the castle he brought over our English speaking guide and we spent the morning with her. Very interesting history and we enjoyed our visit. I thought this was a shared tour, but was surprised it was only us. Only negative was driver did not speak english. Could have made the drive a bit more interesting.
John_L, Apr 2024
We had a very enjoyable morning at Malbork Castle. Our driver was exceptional, he picked us up promptly and gave us information all the way to Malbork. Once there our guide was very knowledgeable and an absolute joy to do the tour with. Thank you for a memorable day.
Lindsay_M, Sep 2023
Amazing. The castle was immense.
Knowledgeable guide.
Interesting history of Poland.
Highly recommend.
Chad_W, May 2023
What an amazing tour! The size of this castle is unreal! Even after a three hour guided tour I can only estimate that I saw about 20% of the place. We only saw the main Castle areas and still passed multiple doors and stairs (certainly it was mostly because theses were not areas accessible by tourists). There is still a lot of renovations happening. I only wish that this tour offered some time to wander on our own and to visit the multiple gift and souvenir vendors.
Maria_K, Apr 2023
The tour guide was excellent. She had a really great knowledge. She was able to give us a answer to many questions.
Thank you !
