Great castle tour

Alicia gave us an amazing guided tour of the castle… Lots of good stories and interesting information, and particular how life was on a daily basis in the castle. Highly recommend.

The world largest brick castle.

Beautiful castle of teutonic knights. We enjoyed the self tour. It's the world's largest brick castle and the largest Gothic fortress by land. It does missing some historical collections. Caries the largest amber collection.

A good way to spend half a day.

I got a text from the tour operator asking me if I could move up the tour a day earlier because I was the only participant and the tour needed at least two. Anyhow, it turned out even a day earlier was still only two people so it was kind of a semi-private tour which was fine by me. The driver Chris was a soon to be retired historian so we had a few chats related to the castle and also the history Gdansk. Our tour guide as a lady name Alicia, she has been a tour guide there for a very long time and witnessed the rebuilding of the castle. We spent about 3 hrs touring the castle. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. If you have an extra day in Gdansk, visiting Melbrok Castle is an good option.

Loved learning about the history

The experience was great. The guide was. Very knowledgeable. The only thing that I kinda bummed out about was that we had to meet a timeline and I didn’t have more time at the end to check out the Amber exposition they have there. Overall, I do recommend for transportation facilitation and get the history of castle, which is amazing.
