I joined the 3 hour cycle tour, which was a brilliant introduction to the diverse nature of Gdansk, including the port. Bozena is a great guide, very knowledgable, interesting, and patient when we wished to snap away more before moving on! She also frequently offered to take photos of us and provided some good tips on more hidden places to eat and visit. I strongly recommend this tour for getting a snapshot of this great city. Many thanks Bozena! Paul

I found myself on a private tour despite this being a group activity. I would have preferred it to be the latter but no matter, it was a great way to get to know the city. The guide spoke nearly perfect English that only a Professor would notice the mistakes. You get to see so many areas and learn so many things that as long as you can remember the locations, you can find bars, attractions, and restaurants for days to follow.

Jakub was an amazing tour guide. He knows the TriCity very well and speaks great English. He adapted the tour based upon our conversation at the beginning of the tour. I wouldn't have changed a thing. This was the perfect way to experience Gdansk.

We were a group of four. The tour was for approx. 7 hours in the car. They sent us a large enough car so it was very comforting. Our driver gave us pit stops on the way when we requested and our guid in Krakow gave us some stop at the cafe and souvenir shops for us so we had some free time and learned interesting historical facts about Krakow. Very interesting and comforting experience in total. Breakfast and dinner is not included so I recommend that we bring some snacks on the tour.

9. The Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork - 1 DAY TRIP FROM WARSAW

Malbork Castle is located in the north of Poland, on the east bank of the River Nogat. It is the most complete and elaborate example of a Gothic brick-built castle complex in the characteristic and unique style of the Teutonic Order. The style exemplified here evolved independently from those which prevailed in contemporary castles in western Europe and the Near East. This spectacular fortress bears witness to the phenomenon of the Teutonic Order state in Prussia. The state was founded in the 13th century by German communities of military monks who carried out crusades against the pagan Prussians and Lithuanians living on the south Baltic coast, as well as against the Christian Kingdom of Poland. It reached its greatest influence in the 14th century. Malbork Castle is also deeply rooted in social consciousness as a significant and emotional symbol of the history of Central Europe.

First met up on airport, ordering online, altough our flight was delayed, we have someone meeting us upon arrival, then quality of car, and most of all, real genuine nice driver, so i am thinking maybe ask for pickup from hotel a few days later, though beeing from Sweden, that wouldn't happen, but off course there he was. I've tried airport transfers 3-4 times a year all around europe last ten years. Many good, some ok, but this has to rate one of the best in europe! Really reccomend,
