Krakow Tours & Excursions

Having read many books and watching many many movies I thought I was prepared. I was so mistaken. You can never prepare for the overwhelming feelings walking the same grounds as those murdered, forced to work, being starved to death and those who liberated. The sights, sounds, smells I’m sure haunted their dreams. It was 30+ degrees out the day we went and walking the concrete corridor to the starting point I was covered in goosebumps. Our guide was incredible and left us with a closing I will not ever forget. We must never forget those who died or those who survived. May they all rest in peace

This trip was okay. The guide provided by this company was great, very nice. However, the guide we had at Auschwitz was terrible. She walked so fast that you couldn’t keep up with her, she started talking before the entire group was present. The tour guide was so fast that you couldn’t even read the signs posted as she was moving on. She also spoke so fast that you couldn’t even comprehend what she was saying. It felt so rushed and I feel like I need to go back since I learned so little from the first trip. The salt mine was fine. Our guide, Anna was so sweet and knowledgeable. It’s a lot of walking and some cool salt statues but I could of done without it. My spouse however loved it.

Wieliczka was incredibly beautiful, but it was a very long day. Auschwitz, we were actually disappointed by that. Sounds harsh, but we know the history very well and have prepared for a day of intense emotions, especially as we have met a survivor of Auschwitz, but we were actually disappointed. It seemed like a lot of buildings, where there were few pictures that could reproduce what had happened back then. The guide told a lot of numbers, but it was the human stories we were interested in. At the same time, an incredible number of people and all the time "We have to move on, the next group is coming". Only place we could feel a little was in the gas chamber, where we discovered stars of david in mass scraped into the wall, but didn't even get it. in time to dwell on and think "What was going through the minds of the victims lately?" The trip, incredibly good information from the company and super nice drivers.

Extremely impormative Tour with well spoken English. Pick up and the whole day went very smoothly. Could not have asked or expected for more for the price.

Auschwitz-Birkemau is an eye opener. Very educational. Wieliczka Salt Mine is a memorable experience. I enjoyed the day trip. And lunch was perfect. Thank you!

Very well organised! Kris the guide we had on the mini van was super! His English is very well pronouncdd and clear. He explained and showed us a video on our way. Also showed us the house of Rudolph Hess and took us to an extra part where deportees used to be stopped and a few people visit. Good idea to visit Auschwits2 first and then Auschwits1 to avoid the crowds. Highly recommend this. Thanks!

On a whole it was a very good day! It was very interesting and the guide was very good. We would have preferred if the salt mines had been done last though, as it was a very hot day, and we were out in it at Auschwitz at the hottest part of the day! It made for a very very sweaty tour!! Also we would have liked more time to explore Auschwitz birkenau on our own after the tour as it was huge and we were only shown a tiny portion of it!

Picked up on time , friendly driver, the guide was amazing , totally recommend this trip, if ever in krakow this is a must trip, very informative and sad at the same time .

Top experience. We are French and did the tour in English, the guide was great. Patient, clear and full of anecdotes, she was captivating and lived what she was telling. 1h30 in the first camp and 1 hour in the second (very easy visit for such a large camp). We had the time we needed to take our photos even if we shouldn't hang around. The organization was top notch, information and clear directions. Boarding the shuttles quickly, good driver. 100% recommended, go for it, the value for money is great.

The start of the day we really enjoyed. But the afternoon(salt mine) wasn’t really for us, it was very long winded and not what we expected. Lord of statues and not much of the “mine” we expected. Something that took 2.5 hours but I’d of been happy with a 30 min walk through. As I said the morning was brilliant (auschwitz) very moving. The guides through out the whole day were very knowledgeable and friendly. Coach driver also friendly and informative

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.

We enjoyed the tour as much as you can enjoy a tour to this horrific place. The guide was informative and the tours all around us moved seamlessly on. There wasn’t much time for reading information on your own as the tour needed to keep moving. We liked the personal head set so we could all head the guide.

Very punctual, pleasant journey. Everything great.

It was a very well organized trip. Due to my mobile phone issue, we could not get the pick up details but local partner has assisted us in the morning without a problem. Peter picked us up from the location we chose previously and he assisted us in every stage of the trip. He was like our second guide :) I would like to comment in Turkish to make sure it can be seen from Turkish tourists. Kesinlikle öneriyorum

There is nothing I can fault about this trip, both our coach guide and tour guide were outstanding, the tour was organised smoothly too.

Our Auschwitz guide was exceptional

It was excellent! A long day, but everything was well organized. It started very early (at 5:50) which was not the time I selected, but I was already expecting it to change. The transport was well done, without waiting, the visit was excellent and I recommend it to everyone. We took lunch, but there is a restaurant in the salt mines. I think that the waiting time there may not be enough for some groups to have lunch.

Very sad place, heavy weather. But something that deserves to be visited so that human beings never forget what happened there. Too sad part of history and it's important to remember the past so that it never happens again in the future.

Very interesting, our guide Lukaz was absolutely amazing!!

What a trip! Those two places are well worth visiting. Whether it's worth the money paid to the provider it's debatable. But definitely saves the hassle of organizing the trip. Easy to follow instructions from the driver, great guides in Auschwitz and Salt Mines. I do recommend this one day trip.
