Details

Embark on a meaningful full-day journey from Krakow to explore two iconic landmarks of Poland’s history and culture: the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum and the Wieliczka Salt Mine.
Begin the day by traveling comfortably to Auschwitz-Birkenau where you will join a detailed guided tour led by an English-speaking expert.
Walk through the somber grounds of the former Nazi concentration and extermination camp, absorbing the profound stories of hardship, resilience, and remembrance preserved at this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

After a deep and reflective morning, continue your adventure by heading to the Wieliczka Salt Mine, a fascinating underground complex also recognized by UNESCO.
Here, you will discover an astonishing underground world filled with chapels, intricate sculptures, and majestic statues—all carved meticulously from natural rock salt over centuries.
This tour offers a remarkable combination of learning about Poland’s poignant wartime history followed by marveling at this unique subterranean artistic heritage.

Designed for efficiency and comfort, this guided tour includes transportation in a climate-controlled vehicle, entrance fees to both sites, and an expert guide to enrich your experience with historical insights and fascinating stories. This unforgettable day allows you to fully appreciate two very different but equally captivating facets of Poland’s rich heritage.

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.

A trip that everyone should experience, very sobering with very knowledgeable guides. We would go back to do the longer tour next time.

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.

Firstly, our driver was absolutely fabulous. So friendly, helpful and professional. He made the busy day run very smoothly. The camps tour guide was very passionate and knowledgeable, as was the salt mines guide. The camps themselves were incredible to experience. Kinda lost for words really. All I can say is, go and see it for yourself.
