From Krakow: Auschwitz-Birkenau & Wieliczka Salt Mine Guided Tour

We enjoyed the minibus, a very small group, we were directed by a very pleasant person, everything was perfect.

The main problem is that we visited the Salt mine first & Not Auschwitz/ Birkanau. by the time we reached Birkinau it was too dark to see anything. it would make more sense to visit the Salt mines later when darkness doesn't matter.

The picked up was very close to our air bnb. Our guide was experienced and she gave clear explanation and very informative. We truly benefited.

It was a very insgihtful and eyeopening trip/expereince. However, the last minute changes to the travel itenirary could have been better, initially we were set to depart from Krakow at 9:00 AM, instead we were told to meet at 5:00 AM in the morning. Sure we had a good trip, however the change of timings was very inconvinient.

The driver was great, and the guide gave us a good understanding of what happened. It was a great time.

++ Very well done guided tour with lots of detailed information. Instructions were clear for transportation and meeting point. The two tours flowed well from the camps to the Salt Mines! -- Lots of visitors to the Auschwitz Museum on Monday morning, so we were a bit pressed for time, which didn't give us much time to reflect.

Really enjoyed all went smoothly except the driving! The driver was very jerky slammed on his brakes at every roundabout or when he came up behind slow moving trucks just didn't seem to judge ahead much so impossible to have a sleep on the journey, also had radio on quite loud.

Daniel out bus driver was great the boy in the salt mine tour the same unfortunately the the woman in the camp tour was dissapoing she walked too fast and when you caught up you had missed important I so you couldn't ask her eny question

The tour was an eye opening experience, as it is only when you are there that you get to see how systematic the actions were carried out there. Also, the guide -a Polish woman- was very knowledgeable and always open to answering questions, which was much appreciated.

Italian guide, meticulous explanation of everything in Auschwitz. Fair breaks and good time transfers. Only flaw that on the way back the driver dropped us off 2km from the hotel, when it was specified during the reservation that they would drop us off near our hotel since it was evening.

Very interesting places, very professional, friendly and willing guides. The drivers were very good. The tour of Auschwitz was very well organized inside the camp, and the headsets with microphones were a very good idea. One small drawback: we would have liked to have had a schedule of the day's activities beforehand. Before we got off the bus on the way back from Auschwitz, we didn't know how or when we were going to the salt mine.

what an extraordinary and unforgettable tour experience. truly a full day immersed in history, exploring and learning about two profoundly distinct periods of time. everything was seamless: the buses were perfectly on schedule, check-ins were hassle free, and we were thoughtfully accounted for every step of the way. no matter how far we strayed from the group, the bus waited for us, ensuring we never felt rushed. but what truly set this tour apart was our guide, Lara - an absolute gem of a person. her warmth, kindness, and genuine care for everyone made all the difference. not only was she knowledgeable, and sensitive, but she also went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable as we moved from location to location. she didn’t just guide us, she brought the experience to life, making every moment feel a little more special and personal. Lara is just one of those rare people who leaves an impression that lasts long after the tour ends. as an american traveling in a foreign country and not speaking the native language, this tour made everything exceptionally easy and smooth. there were no moments of confusion or uncertainty, the guidance was clear, and we always knew exactly where to be and what was happening next. every step of the journey was thoughtfully laid out, removing any of the usual stresses that come with being in a new place. by the end of the day, i didn’t just feel like a tourist... i felt connected to the history, culture, and people in a way that left me fulfilled and grateful for the experience. this tour truly delivered a sense of ease and discovery appreciated by those who are naturally more anxious. i couldn't recommend it more.

These are 2 visits that leave a lasting impression. They're well worth the detour. The 2 can be done in a day, but it's quite sporty. Day from 11am to 1pm. Plan to rest well on the buses. Remember to take your breakfast and picnic lunch with you, as well as water. The bus drivers and guides are very friendly and helpful. One big drawback: the organizers offer you the choice of meeting place and time, but in reality they don't take it into account. The day before, we received an SMS with a non-negotiable time and place. For us, it was a 20-minute walk instead of 5 minutes. And 1h30 earlier than planned!

Amazing experience. Our driver and guide Mr. Janek was insightful and accommodating. He made sure the trip was informative, enjoyable, and that we were prepared for both Auschwitz and the salt mine. I would recommend this tour and Mr. Janek to absolutely anyone.

The full-day offer to visit both sites is quite attractive. The company's service is well managed. However, it's a long day, with waiting times that can be quite long.

Everything was smooth. We were picked up in a pick up point near our hotel, went to Salt mine, enjoyed the tour there and after, went to Auschvitz, where we also had a guide who explained everything in detail, answered our questions and made everything run smoothly

Great communication from staff regarding pick up times and locations. The guide Daniel was informative and done his best to look after us all. Driver Janos kept us safe and kept to specified times. Matt Kingsland

Fantastic tours very moving st Auschwitz and Biirkenau then onto the fantastic tour of the Salt Mines,. It was a very long day as our pick up time was at 5.45am but we really enjoyed it

The guide at Auschwitz-birkenau was very professional. She recalled continously enormous amounts of historical dates, numbers and more all the time keeping us grounded with the human tragedy of it all. She varied her narrative from the large historical details to the small aspects and lived experience from the victims of nazi germany. I am very grateful for this profound insight in human evil nature, and will do my best not to forget what I have learned. Thank you.

It was everything very nicely organized. I would prefer the Salt Mine tour to be shorter, but that is a personal preference.
