What are people saying about Krakow

Karen_H, May 2026

An absolute must see for everyone!

The visit was an overwhelming confirmation of how terrible this was for those brought to the camps. That people could actually treat other people like this is hard to believe. However, it is happening again in other places. There was a comment posted in the beginning of the tour “Those that don’t remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” By George Santayana. I suggest everyone learn about the holocaust, and the years leading up to it because there is a definite pattern recognizable to those who are paying attention. Marta was our guide and was quite good. Our driver, Bartek, was great as well.

Auschwitz's Tour

Our visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum was a very moving and memorable experience. We felt fortunate to find a last-minute opening for the tour. The small van with only seven guests made the experience much more personal and comfortable. Damien, our tour guide, warmly greeted us and made us feel welcome from the start. The drive from Kraków was beautiful, and Damien was extremely knowledgeable and informative throughout the tour. Despite the somber atmosphere, he handled the experience with professionalism, respect, and compassion. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Poland.

Emotional experience, our on-site guide gave us what happened here. She was knowledgeable & took us through the many stops, maneuvering us in the queue, as there are many visitors. Our driver was personable, informed us the day's logistics, & was there each stop. No confusion.

If anyone wants to visit...

The visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau was an unforgettable experience. The tour was organized perfectly down to the smallest details. The duration of the visit was sufficient and manageable thanks to the excellent organization and the very professional guide. Communication with Mr. Adam one day before the visit clarified the visiting rules, transportation details, etc., making the whole experience very easy to manage. The transport from Krakow to Auschwitz was very comfortable, and the driver, Adrian, was very communicative, making the journey even more enjoyable. We highly appreciate your company’s commitment and professionalism in organizing the visit.”

A great company well managed

We recently completed the Auschwitz & Wieliczka Salt Mine tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kraków. Our driver, Martin, was fantastic from start to finish. We were picked up promptly from our hotel at 7:40am and returned around 6:30pm. Martin was a very safe driver, explained the schedule clearly throughout the day, and made sure everyone knew where to be and at what time. The whole day was extremely well organised and managed by Martin and his team. Both tour guides were very informative and professional, and both sites are absolutely worth visiting. Auschwitz was incredibly moving and important to experience, while the Salt Mine was fascinating and unlike anything we had seen before. It is a long day, but there are plenty of breaks throughout, and you can always rest or sleep during the drives between locations. Our group was split between a large coach and a mini bus, and we were fortunate enough to be placed in the mini bus, which made the experience feel a little more personal and intimate. We didn’t specifically request this, so it may just have been luck of the draw. Another big positive was how smoothly everything ran. There were no long queues at either destination. As soon as we arrived, we were quickly assigned to our guides and the tours began almost immediately. Overall, a very well organised tour and definitely a must-do when visiting Kraków.

We had a lovely time and would definitely recommend this trip! Our tour guide Niko was friendly, knowledgeable and provided us with recommendations for restaurants at Zakopane and Krakow. The thermal spa at the end was the highlight of the trip for me and my friend - we came back feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. The tour is nicely paced and not rushed. You get ample of free time at Zakopane and the thermal baths.

Great break away from the city

I was travelling with my friend and her two children (10 & 12) and this was booked for our last full day. The company were fabulous and communicated the plan and pick up arrangements the day before and passed on the number for our guide, Simon. He arrived on the day in great time and was incredibly helpful and friendly. Our minibus was full with two other couples on the trip - we were all from the UK and got on great. Everyone in my party had a fabulous time! The cheese and vodka tasting were great and Zakopane was a great experience different to Krakow. The weather held but unfortunately low mist meant we couldn’t see the mountains but this didn’t effect the overall day. The children absolutely loved the Thermal Springs; and the adults were able to unwind too. Following Simon’s guidance throughout the day, it was really relaxing and enjoyable. He recommended places to eat in Zakopane which was also really helpful - we had the best hot chocolates and matcha latte ever! It was a long day and the kids enjoyed themselves so much, they slept on the journey back so extra points there!! Overall, a fabulous day; well worth the price and a great break away from busy Krakow.

Michael guide was the best!

Lots of walking. Michael our bus driver/guide was amazing, knowledgeable and easy going. Our first guide in Auschwitz was difficult to understand so I even took my headset off. When we arrived in Birkenau, I defected to Michael’s group since he was easy to understand and informative. You will definitely get your steps in so wear comfortable shoes since some uneven ground.

Stairs were down. Site was beautiful.

The mine was educational, artistic, and beautiful. All but approximately 10 steps were going down. The floors were not slick. However, it definitely is a lot of walking. The guide was very good. It was great getting picked up in front of our hotel. The driver was very nice.

Wieliczka Salt Mine Wonder!

A must-see experience. Put it on your list. Why? An incredible journey through 800 years of Salt Mining begins with its history and Legend of how a Princess from Hungary first discovered Salt in Krakow, through my guide Joanna today. Each Chamber has its own unique story - The Chapels are beautiful and breathtaking.
