Krakow Tours & Excursions

So you have to have a guide when you go to Auschwitz Birkenau. You can go alone, but I don’t know how you would do it because all I saw our group led by guides. The guys have told as in either history or language. Our guide was a woman from Poland, and her grandfather was in conscripted to work at Auschwitz. She was very knowledgeable, and let us through the camps with confidence, and she was easy to understand.

The tour was briliant. The guide also very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information during the tour. So thanks a lot

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!

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.

An excellent trip with an exceptional guide who was very knowledgeable, friendly and informative.

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.

Fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and made it light hearted. Cannot recommend enough.

Very punctual, pleasant journey. Everything great.

felt very rushed in Auschwitz- Birkenau

beautiful experience. prepared perfectly. juda prepared nice and kind. everything on time and perfect

Very interesting, our guide Lukaz was absolutely amazing!!

Everything was great. well organized and comfortable trip. The drivers were very polite.

insanely well organised. I was called + got a message the day before for the exact pick up location and time (we had to walk like 4 minutes). The bus then left on time, our guide picked us up in front of the bus, we visited Auschwitz first, then a short bus drive to Birkenau. 20 minutes after we left back to Auschwitz and around 7.5 hours later we were back home.

Auschwitz was life changing. The tour guide was helpful and nice. The salt mines were great but the aftermath of still being on vacation walking everywhere the day after 800 steps was not so great.

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 a major highlight of our holiday. The whole day was very well organised with the visit to Auschwitz first then the Salt Mine in the afternoon. We opted for the packed lunch option which was great to snack on during the journey between the camp and mine as there is a lot of walking involved and an early start to the day. Both tour guides for Auschwitz and the Salt Mine were exception and shared so much knowledge. Sandra the tour guide taking us to to each place was very friendly and organised.

Trip was excellent but very tiring to do both tours on same day especially if not used to walking that much on one day. After all that walking, coach did not stop us in pick up point but further away - which meant more walking to our hotel

Beautiful day in Auschwitz. Transport and tickets were well arranged. The tour with the guide went a bit quickly. I would have liked a little more time but all in all it was a beautiful day.

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.

Our Auschwitz guide was exceptional
