Well organised, and very proffessional. The guides were very knowledgable and answered many questions. Pick up and drop off was exactly as requested.
Aimee_M
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.

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.

Daniel was a great driver and gave us a lot of information. He was super helpful. The trip went smooth and great.
Pamela_C
The trip was so well organised with no delays or hiccups. Norbert even called us when on his way to say he was a few minutes delayed. It too around 1.5 hours to reach Auschwitz from our pick up point. We had regular breaks for toilet, coffee/tea etc. There is a small cafe there but also seats outside where you can eat your packed lunch. The tour guide was excellent. Lucas was quite passionate and emotional when relaying stories and extremely knowledgeable about what actually happened.
Laurence
Very good organization and support, very friendly guide/driver.
Bataille
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.

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.
NADIA_F
Brilliant very well organised tour - 2 of the the main Must-See attractions around Krakow visited in a day. We had limited time in Krakow, so it worked perfectly for us.
Angela
it was well organised, only the van was very small
Nicole_S
All tours were fantastic and guides were very knowledgable and really made the experience! We also ordered the packed lunch that was on offer and it was more than worth the money! Would definately recommend! 10/10!!
Victoria_P
A trip that everyone should experience, very sobering with very knowledgeable guides. We would go back to do the longer tour next time.
Atara_C
The tour was an amazing experience! The guides were friendly, we got a private driver who was extremely helpful and kind and waited for us at every destination.
Emma_A
Good organisation and clear instructions.
Ahmina
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.
Emma_D
Comfortable bus, very well driven. Recommend.
Bridget_C
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.
Lyn_K
Great way to fit in both activities in one day if time is an issue. No queueing. It is a long day but organised great so there is very little hanging around. Guides were great at both locations.
Natale_L
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.
Nicola_W
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.
Stacy_T
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. I'm glad I did the trip. The prisoners who survived, wanted people to see what they went through and wanted it persevered not rebuilt so you could see it from their experiences.

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.
