Krakow to Wieliczka Salt Mine: Combo Tour Options (hotel pick-up)

Sandra_W, Apr 2026

We were contacted the day...

We were contacted the day before the trip by our driver Peter. It was a small group picked up by minivan. It was a little squashed as we were the last pick up and had to sit in the front with the driver. As I'm small this wasn't a problem but may be difficult for larger people. Peter was informative and pleasant. As English speakers the I information was easy for us to understand but must have been difficult for the Italian speakers in the group. Once we reached the Salt Mines we were splint into our own language groups. The actual tour was very good although it was a very long walk back to the lift to the surface which the tour guide didn't explain. Peter was waiting for us at the specified time for the return to Krakow. All in all a good experience.

We were contacted by our...

We were contacted by our driver Daniel the afternoon before our trip with details of pickup time and asked if we would like a packed lunch for 60zloty as there was limited time between the 2 tours. We had one which was sufficient and was as described and good quality. The transport was minivan and as the last pickup we were in the front with the driver. This was ok but not ideal as space was limited. The actual tour of Auschwitz was well done and the tour guide informative. I did feel the tour of Birkenau could have been just a little longer . The journey back to Krakow was uneventful and we were back in good time.

Irish on tour

This was well worth the money. Guide was great. Highlight was the thermal baths. Would do this one on its own with more time. You can hire towels but do recommend bringing flipflop as a must. Zakopane is lovely with the main shopping street was lovely and remind of ski resort shopping. The view from the mountain was spectacular. We were so lucky with the weather sunshine every day

If you prefer to listen rather than read.

Natalia was very informative and I enjoyed the tour. The tour particularly suited my sister as she can suffer with migraines from reading museum signage. Natalia imparted the information allowing us to take the time to just look around each room while she told the stories.

Auschwitz / Birkenau Saturday tour

Obviously these historical sites are of the utmost importance to visit. A sobering and haunting experience, as it always would be. The tour was delivered by a brilliant guide, who clearly knows the history completely and with huge relevant detail. It was seamless in terms of our friendly, helpful, safe and communicative driver navigating the journeys, clear instructions throughout. Joining the group tour with requisite tickets provided on arrival to the first site. Communication between guide and driver led to it being slick and efficient. We would highly recommend, thank you.

Great experience

Had a lovely time with the group and our guide, Casper was super nice and very helpful.

We were able to experience the proper polish food and snacks experience thanks to him!

Full-Day Tour of Auschwitz and Wieliczka Salt Mine from Krakow

Incredible Tour, But Not for the Faint-Hearted (or Unfit)

This tour was one of the most powerful and memorable experiences of our trip to Poland. Visiting the concentration camps was incredibly emotional and confronting, but also deeply important. The guides handled the history with great respect and knowledge, allowing time to reflect while ensuring we truly understood the significance of what we were seeing. It’s not an easy experience, but it’s one I believe everyone should have at least once. In contrast, the visit to the salt mines was fascinating and almost surreal. The sheer scale of the underground chambers, intricate carvings, and chapels carved entirely from salt were absolutely breathtaking. It was a perfect balance to the heaviness of the earlier part of the day. The tour was very well organised, transport was comfortable, and everything ran smoothly. A long day, but incredibly worthwhile. That said, be prepared—it involves a lot of walking at both sites. The descent into the salt mine is quite full-on, with a significant number of steps. If your fitness level isn’t great, I wouldn’t recommend doing both in the same tour, as it can be quite physically demanding. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of Poland’s history and culture.

Great day at the salt mines

A fabulous day at UNESCO Heritage site. The salt mines are one of a kind and should be viewed by everyone. Legendary Krakow was our tour company and our driver was Oskar. He was on time, drove well and got us into the event easily. He was also very polite and very nice to talk to. You need to pay him more money employees like that are an asset to your company. If he is your tour guide you will have a great day. Thank you for a wonderful experience

Perfectly organised and extremely interesting

I booked the organized tour for Auschwitz and Birkenau along with my husband and we were extremely satisfied with it.
