Auschwitz Tours from Krakow

This tour was perfect! Transfer and tickets were included but not tour guide. This was perfect for me as I could look around at my own pace rather than being directed. Our host was very informative and pointed out significant places on our journey there. He was very friendly and helpful if we needed anything at all! Was a really pleasant experience and I would recommend to anyone. I felt that we had enough time to look round each place without having too little or too much time. Our guide also gave pointers and routes to which were the better ways to visit. Thank you!

We had an excellent trip, once we did a reccy for where the pick up point was. The travel time is 1hr 30mins to Auschwitz, some other travellers didn't realise it was so far. As others say, it can seem a little rushed as other guides are behind you pushing your group onward, our guide was very informative and answered any questions we asked. Our coach driver was fabulous, he was funny, polite and a very safe driver. The tour operator was great and kept us informed as our trip was put forwards 2hrs.

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.

Hard experience but to do. Well organized. Requested a time, the night before they move it in advance of an hour. They could have been more precise. Meeting point for the return: The last traveler showed up an hour later. Better to give a definitive time. Very good guide with excellent Italian. Recommended

Guide was great and everything was well organised. I really had the feeling of being chased through the camp. Don't stop anywhere or just look at as many people as possible through Auschwitz (1). I understand the routing, but for that reason it leaves little impression. It's simply too busy for that.

Excellent trip, the tour guides for Auschwitz and the Salt Mines were both engaging and interesting and the transportation was comfortable. A long day but all made easier by the tour leader and it was so well organised. The only negative was that the Google maps link sent to us for the pick up sent us to the wrong place but we found everyone in the end!

We had a great day trip but our driver Tomaisk made our day even more enjoyable and stress free with his experienced guidance from picking us up in krakow to Auswitch-Birkenau to the salt mines and back to krakow. He was very helpful with directions and recommendations even going as far to walking us in the snow to a lovely restaurant. Our trip was very enjoyable and we sticked to the Schedule ensuring a nice break for us in between. I can’t recommend him enough as a driver he was so much more than that. An excellent tour guide!

arriving at the camp early is a major factor in appreciating the opportunity Chris the guide was consumately learned and helpful Take more attention in advising older guests of the rigours of the salt mine visit

Good tour, very sad history, but very informative tour guide. A long day but well structured, pick up was on time and even if the driver didn’t spoke any English she was very efficient with google translate and made sure we all understood instructions and how the day will go. I do recommend the tour.

Very well organised tour and great communication leading up to it. We were travelling to Krakow the same morning as the tour and they arranged to pick us up as near to the station as possible which was helpful. The bus was modern with A/C which was needed in the 35'C heat we had that day! Guides were all very knowledgeable and there was a good balance of seeing the sites with short breaks in between. Didn't feel rushed at any point and plenty of photo opportunities. It's a long day, but definitely worthwhile!

Would highly recommend this minivan trip to Auschwitz. We had chosen to be picked up at 11am but were contacted the evening before by our driver to say he would collect us at 8am instead, which wasn't a problem for us. We were collected from our apartment on time, the driver spoke great English and wore a mask. The minivan was modern and clean. We collected another family then set off to Auschwitz. It was a pleasant drive and everyone wore masks. Upon arrival at Auschwitz our driver took us through the entry point where we were handed over to a museum guide. She was fabulous, had lots of knowledge and was very respectful. The pace was ideal for us, we didn't feel rushed. We had a 10min break to eat the lunch we had brought with us then went back to our driver who took us to Auschwitz 2 where the same museum guide was waiting for us. After being shown around here our driver was waiting outside for us and took us back to Krakow.

Punctuality of the driver to pick us up from the hotel; private and very comfortable transportation; the driver stays with us on site while waiting for the guide, everything is very well organized. The French guide is of very high professional quality, her diction is remarkable, very precise in her comments.

everything went smoothly- you get sent a time when they pick you up. its about an hour 30 min drive I believe to the first stop. you get bathroom and coffee breaks if you did not have breakfast. the concentration camp itself well words really can't describe, so I will try. very unreal experience to see what these poor victims had to go through. There is a guide that will take over and go through both camps. so extremely sad your lunch you can honestly eat whenever: there is like two sandwiches, water, juice, apple, a bar and mentos gum. really highly recommend to go.

Lots to learn and lots to see. Me and my daughters (who are 11 and 13 years!) learnt a lot on our trip. Lots of history which will now help them learn this at school. Only down side is the first part of the trip was been given such a small amount of time to get around. Definitely recommend.

Thank you to our guide Pawel!! This experience was amazing from start to finish and Pawel was brilliant, really made the tour come to life with his knowledge of Auschwitz-Birkenau. He was really punctual and even asked us after the tour where we wanted dropping off in Krakow to make it easier to get to our accommodation. Can't recommend booking with these guys enough! 5****

Our transportation guide was timely. However they have a really bad set up for drop off and pick up. Once at the camp there are shuttles between the two museum sites…but our guide wanted us to come back to him and not use the provided shuttles which would separate us from our tour group. It would’ve been a lot easier if he just dropped us off and picked us up from the same parking lot. No reason to make things more complicated than necessary. He also said mix ups with the shuttle bus have happened before. Over all well worth the value but just a confusing system.
