Must-Do Experience While Visiting Krakow
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.

Humbling experience....
Humbling experience. Please do yourself a favor and leave your phone in your pocket, you don’t need photos of this and this needs to be experienced with complete involvement, not behind a screen. Take that time saved not messing with a camera or phone to contemplate where you are.

A must see
If you are in Krakow, this historical site is a must. You can still feel the heaviness and the torture even 80 years later. Our driver was great and so was our guide at the concentration camps and the salt mine. Both are amazing to see but the salt mine gets to be too much especially after such a heavy visit. I would recommend both if possible.

Shakes one to the core
Incredibly moving. A must see so we never forget and never repeat this civilizational stain on humanity. Our tour guide was fantastic. It only was she extremely well informed, but I can’t imagine the emotional toll she must have to endure to repeat the stories every day for each group.

100% recommend
Really good day trip. We had Kacper as our guide and he was really good. Beautiful scenery in that part of Poland and the stops were all really worthwhile - I especially enjoyed the vodka before 11am! Good value for money and the organisation was really good - all the required passes and wristbands were provided. Beware. - there are loads of these trips advertised and not all include entry to the cable car and springs - book carefully. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone interested. Hope you get Kacper as your guide!

Highly Recommend Tour!!!
This experience was exceptional! The driver, Michael, was very accommodating and knowledgeable! The van ride was pleasant to Auschwitz. The guide, Kasia, was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour very memorable and efficient with the both sites. We highly recommend this tour!

Great tour for our Group
Our Catholic pilgrimage had an itinerary change and were not going to be going to Auschwitz after all, so we booked this for our free afternoon/evening. It was very convenient to be picked up at the hotel & the price was reasonable. Our guide at the camps was very informative and we really felt like we learned new information from him.

A very well organised day
A really memorable day out.
The driver Piotr was very good and was very clear in all the necessary instructions.
Firstly we visited the salt mine in Wieliczka. It is well organised so groups do not bump into each other. There was a lot of walking.
The visit to Auschwitz - Birkenau was also well organised. Guide Gosia was excellent. Here too the groups were well organised so you never felt like the visit was crowded. Extremely memorable though very sad to see where so many people died. It is so important to have an excellent guide for this part of the excursion. We were very lucky.
I would strongly recommend booking through Viator. They work with Krakow Direct.

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.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Well-connected by road and public transport, Krakow is a perfect launch point for discovering other towns and cities in Poland. While you could set out on your own, booking an excursion that takes you around the country will help relieve the stress of planning. Day trips from Krakow include World War II-related sites—such as a former Nazi-operated concentration camp—and a UNESCO World Heritage-listed salt mine. It’s also possible to discover outstanding mountain scenery with a visit to the resort town of Zakopane in the Polish countryside, followed by a soak in the healing waters of a thermal bath complex.
