Top Krakow Day Trips

This is an absolute must-do while visiting Kraków. The entire experience was about 8 hours door-to-door. When we arrived at Auschwitz, we had about a 20-minute break to use the restroom and grab some food before the guided tour began. The Auschwitz portion lasted roughly 3 hours. Afterwards, we had another 15-minute break before driving with our guide to Birkenau. We spent about 1 hour at Birkenau walking through the site and viewing the barracks. If you’re lucky enough to get Anna as your guide, you’re in for an incredible experience. She was engaging, spoke excellent English, and was an exceptionally knowledgeable historian. One thing to keep in mind is that the departure time you select when booking is not guaranteed. We chose an 8:00 a.m. departure but were ultimately picked up around 12:00 p.m. It does require some flexibility, but having all of the transportation, tickets, and logistics taken care of made the experience completely worthwhile.

Highly recommend this experience. We had a wonderful tour guide in Auschwitz who provided us with insightful and thorough information. Saw both concentration camps by noon, had lunch, and then went to the salt mines. The tour went smoothly, even for an 82 year old family member. He was able to descend the stairs without issue and walk the longer distances required at the end of the tour. We didn’t feel rushed during any part of our day. Again, we highly recommend this tour!

We visited on one of the hottest weekends in June and I was concerned that it was going to be a bad idea 38 degrees going to the mountains and thermal baths I shouldn't of worried. The mountains were beautiful and thermal baths so refreshing even with the water being 32-38 degrees will definitely visit again, the only disappointment was travelling to and from guide Fabiana was lovely but the mini bus was too hot and he wasn't very free with the air con and had to be told by a lady who said she was going to faint.
