What are people saying about Krakow

Susanne_K, Jul 2026

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.

Bryan_P, Jul 2026

Auschwitz-Birkenau

We felt that our visit, though difficult emotionally, was important to experience so we don't forget the millions of people who lost their lives due to the horror of the holocaust. The tour guide, Eric, was very helpful and clear in his directions. The tour bus was comfortable and air conditioned on the hottest day of the year.

Krakow: Zakopane Tour, Thermal Springs, Cable Car & Hotel Pickup

Sarah_F, Jun 2026

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!

Krakow–Zakopane: Cable Car, Chocholow Baths, Cheese & Vodka

Janice_R, Jun 2026

A long day but a great day!!!

We absolutely loved going into Zakopane and spending time at the thermal baths. It was a great break in all of our travels to sit and relax. The cheese and vodka stop I could do without out. And honestly the little town stop too I could do without. It would have been really nice to go straight to Zakopane and then to the baths only but we thoroughly enjoyed this day!!!

Krakow to Auschwitz Birkenau Guided Tour with Transfer and Ticket

Aimy_P, Jun 2026

Excellent!

We had a great time on our tour and everything was perfectly communicated and organised. Our pick up time was changed to 6am, which I think is a common occurrence with the tours, however we actually ended up preferring this! As it meant we were finished for around 12/12.30pm and still had rest of the day. Iza our driver was very lovely and was clear on instructions for meeting points etc and explaining the day ahead and always on time. The tour itself was amazing and our tour guide was very good and we didn’t feel too rushed, she even shared some personal stories which just added to the experience. I would definitely recommend booking with this company, although just maybe expect your time slot to be changed.

Auschwitz & Birkenau Guided Tour with Hotel Pickup from Krakow

Sundy_F, Jun 2026

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.

Jane_S, Jun 2026

Get this trip booked!

If you get chance to do this trip please do it. It's a full day trip but worth it. We went up into the mountains, tasted cheese and drank vodka. Went in a cable car to see magnificent views! And so much more! This trip was made so much better by our lovely guide, Milos, he was so informative and certainly knew his stuff! Such a lovely man and a credit to your company! Would not hesitate to book this again next time we come here

1 Day Trip Auschwitz Birkenau and Salt Mines with Hotel Transfer

Jennie_C, May 2026

This was a long day but...

This was a long day but well worth it. This tour is extremely moving and upsetting. Our guide Michael was very knowledgeable and was able to ensure the day ran smoothly. The tour visited the salt mines first and then to Auschwitz, which was a change to what was originally booked. Be a little flexible and it this trip as the Auschwitz museum dictates your times of entry. make sure you bring photographic ID as this is checked in entry.

Wieliczka Salt Mine Live Guided Tour with Miners Lift & Pick-up

Doreen_M, May 2026

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.
