What are people saying about Krakow

Lindsay_R, May 2026

I greatly enjoyed this...

I greatly enjoyed this tour - the hotel pickup was easy and VERY well communicated. I think that your level of enjoyment will highly depend on the Salt Mine Guide your group gets, but Justina was incredible. On the drive to and from the mines, Piter, did a great job sharing some more history on Krakow and answering questions.

Wojtek l, our driver...

Wojtek l, our driver picked us at the meeting point on time. He was very friendly and wonderful. He explained the itinerary for the day and drove us safely. Wieliczka tour was very informative and impressive. We had a great lunch prior to auschwitz and birkenau tour. It is a must see experience to learn about the horrific past. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water. It requires a lot of walking.

Ron_W, Apr 2026

This is a must do!

We started off visiting a historical house in the highlands, learning about their life then and now. Then we enjoyed some vodka and local cheese. After that we went to the mountains of Zakopane where we got the cable car, had time to explore and eat lunch. We ended the day with the thermal baths which were crowded but enjoyable. There are many different pool options both indoor and outdoor, as well as a sauna and salt therapy room. It was a perfect day with our guide Kacper and I made some friends on the bus!

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.

Auschwitz Birkenau Guided Tour with Hotel Pickup from Cracow

Stephanie_G, Apr 2026

Our pickup was changed to...

Our pickup was changed to 5.50am from the 9.30am option selected, however this is outside of the tour company's hands as the guided tour times/availability are given by Auschwitz. I had seen this on a lot of other reviews and companies, so be prepared for an early start. The car picked us up on time and the driver was friendly and organised, itinerary was clear for the day. The company messaged us 3 days before to give us notice that it would be ean early start so we weren't surprised the day before when final details are confirmed. When at Auschwitz, it is an Auschwitz tour guide that takes you around both sites - ours was incredible. The tour company, make sure you know meeting points, break times and take you between the sites. There are about 3 15 min opportunities for toilets/snacks but queues were long, especially at Ausxhwitz. Birkenau had some snack huts with much less queueing. I would take food as opportunity is limited. The company offer a 50 zloty lunch bag which was great value for money and gave lots of snacks and drinks. The guided tour is fast paced, lots of walking (all dictated by the museum to handle the volumes of visitors) but was incredible. Not much time to stop and reflect, but enough time to see and learn what you needed to. I'm so glad I went Also, it is largely outside and it is very very cold first thing in the morning, so please be prepared for the weather!

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. It was very well organised; The pickup and dropoff at our address made it easy and stress free. The driver was very knowledgeable of polish history and told us many things about his country we didn't know. The museum guide was very knowledgeable, clear, understandable, empathetic and made the visit even more interesting. I recommend anyone to book this experience through "hello Krakow".
