Auschwitz-Birkenau & Salt Mine

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.

it was a really early start (06:30 pick up) & I was dubious about the timing... we arrived at Auschwitz & it was fairly quiet. After the guided tour of Auschwitz I i figured out why the early start. Iwas very pleased we started early, there were thousands of people beginning their tour. We then proceeded over to Birkenow to tour that camp. It was chilling to realise the scale of the genocide that happened here. it is so important that the world NEVER forget what happened here & that we learn from it. i was very impressed with the way the guide & the museum cinvey the facts of what went on here. i would highly recommend this tour.

What a great day! The guided tour of the Auschwitz and Birkenau camp was very well done and explained, with a touching but important speech. As for the Wieliczka salt mines, it was just magnificent and also very well organized. I recommend this offer 100%, which allows you not to worry about transport and to fully enjoy the activities!

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

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.

Huge day, lots if walking, be prepared, auschwit z was amazing but felt a bit rushed, no time to stop and read the displays, but the guide was awesome, transport very good and comfortable, salt mine was a lot of walking for another 2.5 hours but super interesting, needed a dinner break to refuel, amazing to visit both places

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.

It is worth the money. Not being anxious about the tickets, the transportation and the hours from one visit to the other (many Polish people do not speak English very well). The drivers and the guides were really helpful and nice people. Good snack on the break.
