EXPERIENCE KRAKOW LIKE NEVER BEFORE

This is a trip not to be missed. We booked the tour of Auschwitz, Birkenau and Wieliczka from the UK and read several reviews of previous tours. Although we knew that it was going to be a long day, the tour was so engrossing, moving and well organised that it was hard to believe that it lasted 12 hours. On the coach journey to Auschwitz from Krakow a video of the liberation of the camp gave a graphic reminder and set the emotional tone for the visit to the two camps. The tour driver/guide was excellent throughout the day and provided detailed explanation and descriptions of the camps and answered questions. As this was mid-January, the queues were not long and the places relatively uncrowded. However, this being January it was worth being prepared for being out in the open for much of the time and for a lot of walking - warm clothes were essential. The salt mine visit provided a welcome contrast at the end of the day. Lots of steps down and then a waking tour through the passages and hollowed out chambers. It was well guided by a humorous member of the mine staff. And it was warmer underground than outside! We had visited a bakery in Krakow to get breakfast to take with us before being picked up from outside our apartment at 7.45am The packed lunch was fine and there were opportunities to grab a coffee during the breaks. Thank you to our guide for pacing the day well and dropping us back to our apartment at the end of the day.

No hassle booking. Confirmation the night before highlighting time of pick up. Driver spoke excellent English and we were well informed throughout the day of when and where to be. A very moving start to the tour with the morning spent at Auschwitz and Birkenhau. Horrific but very informative. Then a quick break and a pack lunch, which was lovely. Afternoon spent at the salt mines which again was very informative and an amazing place to see. Would highly recommend this tour.

The Auschwitz tour was super engaging and brilliantly done considering the nature of the place, and the tour around the mines was much better and more interesting than I was expecting

The tour was perfect and punctual organized. Shuttle is comfortable and had a friendly driver. Guide knows what he is talking about. Salt Mine impressive. Lunch was good!

Brilliant - a must see - and very well organised door to door transport! Good communication from the tour organisers.

I had booked this Tour before I had arrived in Krakow. It was easy and simple to get the booking completed. I recieved email and Texts from the Company making me aware when and where I was getting picked up which made everything run smoothly. Driver explained everything that was going on and what the plans where for the day. The 2 tour guides we had at both sites where very good and explained indepth. Any questions that where asked where happily answered. The lunch that was supplied was filling and plentiful. The Tour for me was anout 10 hours in total. From about 8am to 6pm drop off at the centre of Krakow. Although you can get to both places yourself I found it alot easier with this Tour and less hassle.
