The Tri-City tour comprises a walk around the Old Town area, one of the most characteristic features of Gdansk with its Crane Gate, the Long Market Square with its wonderful Neptune Fountain, Artus Court - the meeting hall of merchants in the times of the Hanseatic League, and the biggest brick-wall Cathedral in Europe – St. Mary’s Church. The tour continues through the memorial site in the Gdansk Shipyard- the witness of the rise of the Solidarity social movement to the baroque Cathedral in Oliwa (etrance). Here one can hear an unusual organ concert played on the 17th century instrument of a great value and unique sound. The tour continues to Sopot – a picturesque sea-side city with the longest wooden pier (entrance) in Europe and further to Gdynia- modern Polish port town built from scratch on the sands of the Gdansk Bay in the pre-war period.

Malbork is home to a wealth of treasures and exhibitions. The vaulted interior is marked by columns that fan out like palm trees, supposedly to remind the Teutonic Knights of their Palestinian roots. The architectural highlight of the castle is without doubt the Main Refectory inside the Grand Mater’s Palace, reputed to date from 1330. In contrast to the Spartan beauty of the Grand Master’s Chambers the rest of the castle is stuffed with exhibits and dioramas. Aside from the enormous collection of weaponry there is also an amber display. Here you can view urns dating from Roman times, amber pieces with extinct creatures trapped inside them and some ghastly contemporary carvings. Other rooms are devoted to the Teutonic lifestyle.

Let us take you for the Warsaw City Tour during which you will see highlight spots of the biggest city in Poland. The tour includes entrance to the Royal Castle and take you through the regal apartments of Poland’s last monarch, King Stanislaw August Poniatowski. You will explore The Council Chamber, The Great Assembly Hall, The Marble Room, The Knights’ Hall & Canaletto Room, where the famed cityscape of Warsaw by the Italian painter Bernardo Bellotto, called Canaletto hang. These paintings and others not on display, were of extreme value in rebuilding the Warsaw’s Old Town from scratch after the World War II.

Krakow can brag with its beauty thanks to the fact that it was not damaged during World War II. Most of the buildings surrounding the Market stand here for hundred years and were only renovated. In this historical period, a significant amount of polish cities under German occupation were destroyed and needed to be rebuild from the start. This tour includes all the highlights of the Old Town for which the city is famous for. It follows the Royal Route that goes along the most known streets in Krakow, the Slowacki Theater, one of the oldest universities in Europe- the Jagiellonian University and the mentioned impressing Main Market Square which size is compared to the Piazza San Marco in Venice. You will also see St. Mary’s Basilica (entrance) and, of course, the magnificent Wawel Castle (entrance) on the Wawel Hill with the Cathedral. During this tour you will stroll down the charming streets full of history with the possibility to have a short coffee break or small treat (not incl.). If you happen to be at the Main Market Square at a full hour, you will hear the legendary bugle call from St. Mary Basilica. It is a sonic symbol of Krakow that resounds until this day.
