Great tour, pick up time communicate in advance and picked up on time. Clean and comfortable bus. Lots of walking and some steps so probably not good for people with reduced mobility. Guide was very informative and spoke very clearly, gave us ample time to see the main parts of both camps.

Excellent and well organised trip to Auschwitz. Picked up on time from our hotel and arrived at Auschwitz after a 90 mins drive. Driver and tour guide were brilliant. A short 5 mins drive to Birkenau after Auschwitz to finish the tour. A very moving tour but one that everyone should experience.

Fantastic timings on pick up and drop off. They've definitely done this before! In regards to the tour I found the auschwitz side a tad rushed ( however I understand why with the amount of people that were in attendance on the site from other tours ) In regards to the tour given by micheal/walker couldn't of had anyone better. The information and knowledge he had was fantastic a few bits I wasn't aware of. birkenau tour was very well explained given the limited structures that still stand. The sheer size of the place is scary which gives you a truer representation of the scale of evil that was underway. I very much appreciated walkers way of trying to keep the tour as original as possible instead of the reconstructed parts of birkenau. Can't say thank you enough for the tour and in depth emotional experience. Most definitely be booking more on my next visit to Poland. Loved krakow will be back as there plenty more to see the architecture is beautiful.

The tour guide and transport were great, but the museum was quite busy and so parts of the tour felt rushed. Would have liked a bit more time to take everything in. We went on a Saturday so maybe avoid weekends if possible!

We really enjoyed the auschwitzz trip. The tour guide was good but could only speak broken English so sometimes we struggled to understand him. We were put into a different group and split away from our family on our trip. Clear communication is key on these kind of trips and that is where it lacked unfortunately.

After the first tour we wanted to buy a number of books in the shop adjacent to the site. We weren't there long, but once outside it turned out that our bus had already returned to the parking lot. Another family had the exact same thing. It was resolved quickly and efficiently because we were followed up. But maybe they can give people the opportunity to buy something.

Amanda

15 days ago
We really enjoyed our tour, our guide was great. The day was just let down a bit by the sheer volume of crowds. I think the indoor parts of tour all lost their poignancy and intensity due to us always running into the group in front or the group behind running into us. We were in the afternoon with the non-tour guide customers also touring at their own pace and so it just felt a bit chaotic at points. The outside moments at Birkenau were far more touching and emotional with no distractions. I’d probably recommend a morning slot. Booking process and follow-on comms were excellent, thank you!

Very exciting and impressive tour, only the waiting time of about an hour in front of the museum in Auschwitz was a bit tedious. Unfortunately we didn't have much time left in Birkenau because we didn't get there until quite late. But in principle I can only recommend it, I would do the tour again at any time.

Even with snow the tour went ahead as planned with no delays. The driver and guide were fantastic. The tour itself was very emotional but definitely worth a visit so you can have some comprehension of what happened. You are outside 50% of the time so if you go in the winter months you will need to wrap up warm

Suzanne

A must do tour if you are in Krakow. Our tour guide was excellent.. very well organised tour and glad we went with the guide option.. our driver told us that on some tours people are just dropped off and then have to queue for ages to get on. Definitely worth the money and would highly recommend.

From the pick up point - to the tour and back- a very good and moving day. This is a must if you are in the area - the site and exhibition was excellent and v thought provoking and a privilege to be allowed to see it all. The driver Michal and tour guide -Anna were exceptional. Thank you for a good day.

Very good organization of these excursions. We received several emails and text messages the day before and the same morning to be informed of the time at which our driver would pick us up from our apartment. The visit to the Auschwitz and Birkenau camps is very rich in emotions. Our guide was friendly and interesting. You have to walk a lot given the extent of the sites. A snack is served after the visit to the two camps around 12 p.m. (basket with sandwich, pasta salad, apple, chocolate bar, water) Then head to the salt mines. A guide takes us to the bottom of the mines to start the visit (380 steps from memory!) Then we go from room to room through galleries to reach a depth of 130m. Some rooms are magnificent and gigantic. Finally we go back into the open air in the elevator. I do not recommend the visit to people who have problems walking (lots of stairs) but otherwise it is very interesting and very well organized.

The guide at Auschwitz-Birkenau was good and clearly knowledgeable and the guide at the Salt Mine was also good. However the host/driver was less helpful. She did not offer clear instructions or timings and appeared to be abrupt when asked about them. Timings seemed to change without explanation. Her manner has affected the overall scoring.

The salt mine guide was amazing and knowledgeable, the auschwitz guide was equally brilliant but the head set audio feed was sometimes problematic- not their fault! The tours were lengthy and very informative.

Chloe

The auschwitz tour was great, the guide was great and really informative! Nothing bad to say about this part of the trip. However, the salt mines on the other hand was a different story. The guide rambled on about things that were irrelevant. Didn’t explain what each part of the mine was. Said something and practically ran away from the group. As we chased after her she had already started speaking again so had no idea what was going on. Also spoke extremely fast so also didn’t help. Constantly on your feet for 3 hours (after being at auschwitz) in a boiling hot room with no where to put coats or bags. There were about 2 pretty rooms at the mines. And the only lift to get back up 850 steps was an old mine lift. That has definitely no health or safety checks on it. And has defo been on there for about 50 years. So scared us to death. On a whole the salt mines was a waste of time and money and would never ever do them again or recommend them! Auschwitz is a great tour! Book that itself.

I thought it was a pity that there was a lot of uncertainty about the starting time we thought and had planned starting time 8.00 am and it was not changed to 10.40 am 24 hours in advance, so we could no longer carry out the planned activities. The viewing was impressive.

It was interesting but almost too stressful, you always had to walk and didn't really have time to go to the toilet. The tour through Auschwitz was difficult to understand.

Robert

Added bonus of the museum beforehand and very interesting, especially hearing from the locals that helped with food and clothes for the prisoners. The self tour around auschwitz was great !!! Birkenau would have been a much better experience if there was about 30 more minutes at the site, as it’s very difficult to get to the gas chambers at the back of the compound and back with comfort. 1 hour is not enough to cover a much larger area than Auschwitz and take in the extermination camp fully.

Joseph

Extremely heart wrenching experience. Everything we were taught at school does no justice to the actual experience. I came in winter, so it was a little tough when the winds blow over the fields of ice. I don’t know how the prisoners managed to survive Polish winters with only rags on. Damian and Adrianna (our hosts) were fantastic.

we got a bolt ride to our meeting spot and they picked us up, it was around 1.30 coach ride (if you get travel sick make sure you take some tablets) our guide when we got there was lovely and very informative. i’d definitely recommend going. in total we were out for about 8 hours so pretty precise time wise. we didn’t opt in for lunch but we ended up being quite hungry however there was a cafe that sold food at the end if you do need to get something. overall 10/10

I enjoyed the visit! I didn't like the change in schedule as we had to rush through the visit due to closing time! I didn't like having selected a giia in Portuguese and they just gave me a book in Portuguese that I could have purchased anywhere! I didn't like that the guide didn't accompany us during the visit, leaving us to our own devices.

Die Organisation war gut. Unser Guide war freundlich und hat uns gut auf die einzelnen Stationen vorbereitet. Besonders beeindruckend war für mich die Ausstellung über die Bewohner des Ortes Auschwitz, Augenzeugenberichte über den Alltag im Schatten des KZ und die Hilfen, welche sie den Häftlingen haben zukommen lassen. Birkenau und das KZ haben wir auf eigene Faust mit Hilfe eines Papierguides erkundet.l Leider war die Zeit zu knapp um wirklich alles zu entdecken. Ein Ausflug der nachdenklich macht und lange nachwirkt.

Amazing day! My feet ached from walking but my cheeks ached from laughing after the salt mines what an experience. Auswhitz, despite being so sad. Is a must see. I felt so grounded afterwards. The tour guide, Peter, was sweet. Provided plenty of bathroom breaks for any of my fellow weak bladder people who are worried about that. Only one point I will mention about these breaks is that peter often gave us about 10 minutes which wasn’t enough time (if your a lady) to even get through the bathroom queue but no stress at no time did they make us feel rushed about this!

Our driver Peter was great, hotel pick up and taken to Auschwitz, Auschwitz Birkenau and later the salt mine and returned back to our hotel at the end of the day.The guide at Auschwitz was very knowledgeable and the whole experience was incredibly moving. We also ordered the lunch for 40 PLN which was well worth it. The salt mine was very interesting, but we found it was too much doing both experiences in one day. We walked approximately 9 miles and in the salt mine there were around 700 steps. Even people much younger than us found it too much after all the walking at Auschwitz. The experience was enjoyable and the guide was very good, but I wouldn’t recommend doing both experiences on the same day.

Great tour. Very well organized and punctual. The guides are provided by the museums and not the tour company itself. They were great. The salt mine was stunningly beautiful in contrast to the atrocities abd horror from Auschwitz- Birkenau. Visited in late Nov and was perfect. Far less crowded; you just need to bundle up as most of the day you are outside.

We would highly recommend this trip — it’s something everyone should do in their lifetime. Visiting Auschwitz and Birkenau was incredibly moving and important, and the salt mine was fascinating. It’s amazing to think that everything inside was carved entirely out of salt. Both of our tour guides were excellent, very knowledgeable, and their English was brilliant. Our driver, Thomas, was also fantastic and made the journey smooth and comfortable.It is a long day with a lot of walking, but it was absolutely worth it and an experience we’re really glad we did.

The salt mines tour was very, very cool. I knew nothing about the salt mines before hand and was blown away of the various passages, lakes, and churches you got to see on the way. Guide was very informative. Aus-Birkenau was a very sombre experience, but very informative. The local guide at the museum was very passionate about the history and telling the story of what happened there.

I booked this trip a month in advance. 3 adults. One 11 yr old one 13yrs. I received a WhatsApp the day before with a pick up time of 7am and dropped pin of where to be. (2 mins from the hotel) Bartek our driver was superb with information and instructions of where to meet our tour guides and pick up return points. Auschwitz- bag search and scanners. Quick and painless. Headsets and headphones provided. Lots of slow walking and steps inside buildings. Birkenau is a large site. Exposed. For both Auschwitz & Birkenau wear comfy shoes, pack an umbrella if it’s forecast to rain. We were offered pack lunch for a small price but we took our own snacks and grabbed drinks. Salt Mines lots of steps down but exciting for kids. Inside lakes. Little light shoes and caves. Snack stops and souvenir shops dotted around inside.

Our driver was efficient but not the most caring. You will need to download and check What’s app in case the driver contacts you for anything. This contact may be despite the fact that you receive other messages through Viator. We had some missed communication as a result. Our guide inside appeared to be in training so was assisted by another guide. The information we received on the tour was very basic.

Really excellent tour with superb Guide and Driver. The Death Camps should be visited by everyone to really understand what took place and why it’s still affecting us today. Our Guide was superb - giving expert and touching explanations at all stages. It’s a inside/outside tour though and it rained all day, so luckily we packed lightweight jackets. The Salt Mine is a totally different experience being a conventional tourist attraction - albeit over 2 Km deep! The Camps are a must, and the Salt Mine could easily wait for another day if 11 hours is too long.

It was a very sad time and heartbreaking. Our guide was amazing, he knew so much about Auschwitz. It's true what they say, once you have been I think it will stay with you forever.

It too around 1.5 hours to reach Auschwitz from our pick up point.

Lucas was quite passionate and emotional when relaying stories and extremely knowledgeable about what actually happened.

The experience itself was powerful and unforgettable. I wish our tour guide allowed more silence to reflect and take in the enormity of the moment, instead she repeated statistics over and over that, while devastating, took up the focus we wanted to have to process emotionally what we saw and heard.

Transport was fine - clean and comfortable although driver seemed very impatient when we returned to the coach for the journey home. The tour was quite rushed and we didn’t feel like we had much time to take in the two sites. We were rushed around in the group. We were allowed to go and see the gas chambers as part of the tour but due to the rush that the tour guide was in… we didn’t spend much time here and were quickly ushered through. The guide was very informative but the whole tour did feel very rushed. The tour guide seemed annoyed with the customers when small things would go wrong, such as the radio transmitter not working… which is a small inconvenience but she was quite rude to the people that this happened to. Not much time for toilet breaks/looking around the gift shop. We got back to the bus 3 minutes after the allotted time and the driver seemed annoyed that we were late but we had to queue for the toilet. Tour was OK… you get what you pay for!

Good idea if you were like me and booked Auschwitz on its own without a tour person and hotel pick up. Easy enough to find the bus station, however we were then more restricted by timings. I’d definitely recommend doing this day as a full tour. We had booked a bus for the way back but ended up paying again for a different time as there was an earlier bus but they didn’t let us use our voucher

Really knowledgable and made the day very straightforward. We then travelled by bus to the salt mine which took around a hour but was a 10/10 experience. A long day full of walking so be prepared and you must take lunch with you as there aren’t many places to get anything. Highly recommend the full tour and guide

arriving at the camp early is a major factor in appreciating the opportunity Chris the guide was consumately learned and helpful Take more attention in advising older guests of the rigours of the salt mine visit

Pick up was great. Explanation of what to expect from the day explained well. Auschwitz birkenau was fantastic , museum and camp. Salt mine was just an hour too long. This tour got a bit boring and could have completed much sooner although an amazing mine !

Pick up was easy, although our original time did get changed however after seeing the queues at auschwitz this made total sense. Wieliczka was amazing, we enjoy it very much. Marcin was lovely he stayed with us all day, he was a great tour guide. We had a great day out, just be prepared for lots of walking and a very long day x

It was an extremely long and hard day yet something everyone should experience to educate themselves. The salt mines were fantastic and beautiful. We had the lunchbox which was provided which was definitely worth it, the sandwiches were really nice. Both guides at auschwitz and the salt mines were excellent; extremely knowledgeable and friendly. A really good experience and would definitely recommend.

We had a lovely guide for the whole day tour who handed us off to two great tour guides. Very informative in both places with a few breaks for you to do what you needed (eat, drink or use the toilet). Only thing that was lacking was time to stop and look at things though this was not the fault of anyone it was just because there were so many tours happening you had to move on.

The guide has nothing to do with it, nor the driver who had to wait for customers very very late, so we did not have a visit in French and my 15-year-old granddaughter had a lot of trouble understanding the explanations of the guide who spoke too fast. The driver kindly offered us 2 small books in French but overall we are disappointed with this visit.

obligatory passage when you come to Krakow, emotionally intense visit, our guide in French was remarkable. the only bad point is the intensity of the day, ultra fast, few breaks. . .you have to have the rhythm

Everything was perfect. Transport by private 9-seater vehicle. Confirmation email with departure time received as planned the day before departure. Very competent French-speaking guide for visiting the 2 sites. Return with the same mini bus to the same starting point in Krakow. I recommend !

Punctuality of the driver to pick us up from the hotel; private and very comfortable transportation; the driver stays with us on site while waiting for the guide, everything is very well organized. The French guide is of very high professional quality, her diction is remarkable, very precise in her comments.

The guides don't really give you time to visit, which is a bit of a shame, everything is done very quickly. Feeling like you have to constantly rush... you don't have time to read the information panels. We must move quickly, The guide waits for no one. If I had to do it again, I would do it by myself.

This was the perfect choice for an educational day trip. We had a group just under 30 and split into two groups so our final group to follow the guide was less than 15. The headsets were good quality and I was able to hear the guide without any feedback. He was well informed and appropriately sensitive. I think the tour was a good length, especially considering how cold it was outside. My only critique would be that I really wish we could have had a bit more time in the hall people’s pictures. That felt a bit rushed for such a heavy space. Overall, a high quality tour for a great price. Yes, you can go here on your own for a bit less than this, but this is exactly the kind of place that you need a tour to really get the full experience.

Our transportation guide was timely. However they have a really bad set up for drop off and pick up. Once at the camp there are shuttles between the two museum sites…but our guide wanted us to come back to him and not use the provided shuttles which would separate us from our tour group. It would’ve been a lot easier if he just dropped us off and picked us up from the same parking lot. No reason to make things more complicated than necessary. He also said mix ups with the shuttle bus have happened before. Over all well worth the value but just a confusing system.

It is worth doing, hard to do however, you will learn so much history about what happened at both of these camps, your guides where fantastic, driver was excellent and so friendly.

This day trip was great. The bus was on time and we had a great guide in Auschwitz. This guide also came with us to Birkenau. He really took the time for our group and was able to explain everything perfectly. We were very satisfied.

Guide was great and everything was well organised. I really had the feeling of being chased through the camp. Don't stop anywhere or just look at as many people as possible through Auschwitz (1). I understand the routing, but for that reason it leaves little impression. It's simply too busy for that.

Amazing trip that was really informative. Particularly thought the headphones was a great idea and made it so that none of the information being relayed by the guide, got missed. I came away with a greater understanding of the atrocities that happened here - it really does hit home how totally brutal this place was - which made me even more annoyed an upset to see disrespectful people taking selfies on the very tracks that led people to their murderers. The tour itself isn’t to blame for the shocking behaviour of others though.

Good tour, very sad history, but very informative tour guide. A long day but well structured, pick up was on time and even if the driver didn’t spoke any English she was very efficient with google translate and made sure we all understood instructions and how the day will go. I do recommend the tour.
