What are people saying about Krakow

Ashlee_C, Jun 2026

Honor Human History

This tour was an emotionally heavy experience, and equally an important and crucial reminder of a tragic history. To be within the space of horrific human experience(s) firsthand gave light to a perspective worth valuing. All stories should be shared and honored. Our tour guide Hubert and his accompanied Historian colleague were both very proficient in their knowledge, and sensitive in the delivery when sharing the Holocaust history.

Doskonały. Excellent

Minibus pickup was prompt. Small group. Driver was Kacper. Pleasant young man. Trips to Zakopane and the funicular railway went very smoothly with no gold ups. Lovely village. Weather was overcast up the mountain. Thermal baths are something else. Massive. Kacper again had everything organised and we didn't have to queue at all.

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.

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

Wonderful Tour!

This tour was relaxing and informative. While we usually choose to bootstrap our day-trips, without taking this tour, we would not have been able to access some fun activities like the vodka/cheese tasting or learn about the area. Our guide was Mirek and driver was Lucas…great guys, very chill and friendly.

10/10 experience!

Amazing experience, so well organised and highly informative throughout. I will say all people on our group said their time changed to earlier slots with some missing them. However, we went back to get those who’d missed it initially and if you keep an eye on messages there should be no issues. Communication from this company is fab, highly recommend!!

Very efficient tour,...

Very efficient tour, visiting 2 places in the same day. There were times we could buy some snacks. it was also not rushed. Unforgettable experience. Good guides and driver. We do walk a lot but we have time to rest, like between the mine and Auschwitz for example.

Amazing Day @ 3 Sites

Long day with amazing experiences at all three locations. As a history buff both camps were a bit overwhelming. The salt mine was a really cool experience and I was happy to see it first hand. Thomas was a great driver and took good care of us, going above and beyod.. The guide was really good but should have interacted with us earlier in the day to give us better insight into what we should expect for the day.

1 Day Trip Auschwitz Birkenau and Salt Mines with Hotel Transfer

Jinah_S, May 2026

It's a LOOONG day, even longer if your group is not punctual

We loved our experience with Bart going to the Salt Mine first (2-2.5 hr tour) and then driving to Auschwitz (which took 1 hr 20 min), and then the combined Auschwitz-Birkenau Tour (4-4.5 hrs). All the English guides were informative, passionate about their respective topic, and open to answering additional questions. They were great about keeping a good pace, but keep in mind it might be intense for those who are not used to walking for long periods of time. I clocked about 20,000 steps between the 2 tours. Sadly, due to waiting on people in the group, our break between the 2 tours was cut short and we only had 40 minutes to eat a quick lunch. The restaurant is the one on site at the Auschwitz 1 Memorial which has tourist prices ($25 USD for lunch, no beverage). The tours are a bit longer, but it helps you appreciate the importance of each site and the history. I can't imagine having walked through any of those without a guide as it wouldn't have done it justice. I'd recommend for anyone who enjoys an educational experience while getting in some good steps.

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.
