A long but rewarding day,...
A long day, with excellent local guides and a great driver who worked hard to get us to our destinations on time, despite the inclement weather. The salt mines were a wonderful surprise, offering a lighter side to an insightful and sombre day of historical visits. The visits to Auschwitz and Birkenau are well organised, respectful and informative, and we were grateful for our excellent guide who helped us make sense of the historic horrors, and the context of these events. I was left moved, dispairing of the depravity of so many and quietly thoughtful about how to counteract ongoing hatred today. A must-do trip.

Great tour with exceptional staff
Exceptional customer service. Kamil, Olaf, and Kaja have been absolutely amazing. We had a great time trying Polish Vodka and Cheese in the Highlands of Chochołow, Kamil had the minibus in great spirits. The views from Zakopane and the thermal baths were spectacular, nothing felt rushed and the Kamil was always there if needed. We had a member of our party fall ill and he did everything he could to help, even organising a later bus back to avoid paying for a taxi if we wanted. Also I left my watch at the thermal baths accidentally when changing my shoes and together Kamil and Olaf made sure that I was able to receive my watch back, even delivering it to our hotel by hand!!! The service has been way above and beyond anything I would’ve expected. I highly recommend the tour, but also the staff. They have truly been amazing!

Unforgettable experience
It's a long and emotionally tiring trip but an absolute must do. The experience is mainly outside and a lot of ground is covered so wear comfortable footwear. Our guide was very passionate about a subject that clearly meant a lot to him and his family. I thought I knew quite a bit about the holocaust but the visit really brought home the scale of the atrocities.

The salt mine is an amazing trip, and seeing the architecture along with just the sheer scale of the mine makes you appreciate the history of Poland.
The concentration camps are a must see from a historical perspective.
The excursion itself is very well organised.

Bart took my wife and I on the most amazing tour to Zakopane. He made it enjoyable and comfortable throughout the day and he genuinely cared to make sure the group had the best time. He is an amazing guide and would recommend him for any tour possible. It was a fabulous and memorable experience!

A very informative tour
This tour was well worth the money. We learned a lot about the sad history of the Concentration Camp and the Salt Mines. We had some excellent guides along the way. It was nice having booked a tour that already included the tickets and transportation for these stops so that we did not have to worry about anything except being back to the bus on time.

Fantastic - from pick up to drop off and the trip in-between! The guide at Auschwitz was brilliant. Pawel, who took us was so knowledgeable, communicated well and was very informative. Not an easy tour to do but honestly, a necessary one. A great experience and really worth doing.

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 trip
Very informative and punctual, Bohdan and the driver were funny, played music and gave good information as we were driving to and from the mines. A special surprise for a group member who had a birthday, which made us all take time and cheers eachother. The mi es are vast and truly a beautiful feat for engineering.

Fantastic trip would 100% recommend this trip
Absolutely brilliant trip we had the hotel pickup and the guy was so friendly on time and gave us a great talk about what we was going to do. The tour itself was breath taking I was worried about taking mom with all the walking and steps but it really was not bad at all and totally worth it. The tour guide was fantastic we learnt so much about the history of the mine and the exhibitions and sculptures were truly beautiful even getting chance to take part in activities on the way round it was far from boring and very informative. The souvenir shop and snack place was very reasonably priced and we tasted the salted chocolate which was delicious. We chose the 8am pick up time which meant we was back in the old town by lunch time and had the rest of the afternoon for more exploring.

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.
