Top Krakow Day Trips

Thoroughly enjoyed this whole experience as did the rest of our group. Picked up at our hotel and driven through the countryside to the various stop offs. We were in a group of 8 in a minivan. Very scenic. Great guide (Peter) who explained everything to us as we went. Loved Zakopane town and the views over the mountains were out of the world. We were told this is very busy during the winter season but there in March it was great with no long queues for the railway up and down the mountain. Dropped back at our hotel afterwards and overall had a really lovely day.

We were lucky to get onto the tour as we left it a bit last minute to book it (the day before) but we couldnt have had a better experience. Bartosz was our driver and he kept us informed the whole time about wait times etc, and the tour in general was amazing. Very informative, feel like Ive learned quite a lot from it

Visiting Birkenau was one of the most profound and emotionally overwhelming experiences of my life. It is not a place you “enjoy” in the traditional sense, but rather one you feel deeply. Walking through the vast grounds, seeing the endless rows of barracks and the remnants of what once stood there, brings a heavy silence that words can barely capture. It forces you to confront a dark chapter of human history in a very real and personal way. What struck me most was the scale of it all — the sheer size of the camp is almost impossible to comprehend until you are standing there yourself. The railway tracks leading into the camp are haunting, a powerful symbol of the countless lives that arrived there, many never to leave. It’s a place filled with sorrow, but also with remembrance. Despite the heartbreak, I believe visiting Birkenau is incredibly important. It serves as a stark reminder of where hatred and intolerance can lead if left unchecked. It encourages reflection, empathy, and a deeper appreciation for humanity and compassion. I left feeling heavy, but also grateful — grateful for the opportunity to bear witness, to remember, and to honour those who suffered and lost their lives. It is an experience that stays with you long after you leave, and one that I believe everyone should undertake at least once in their lifetime. Special thanks to our tour guide who was very informative, big shout out to Daniel who was attentive and friendly.
