Auschwitz Birkenau Guided Tour with Ticket Hotel Pickup Minivan

Tomoko_N, Oct 2026

The customer service was...

The customer service was very quick to sort out a problem I had about the booking. The tour was well organised and so smooth from the beginning to the end. There was a time when we had to rush a little as there were many other groups of visitors and really busy there. But our driver and the guide were very experienced and they handled the situation so well that we managed to go through everything within the time we had. Booking this hotel pick guided tour was definitely a right choice we made. We might have not managed to see everything if I did not book this as we probably wasted time like to wait for train or bus, checking directions, queueing to get into the museum etc. I highly recommend this tour to anyone.

So glad I got to...

So glad I got to experience this tour, albeit very sad. The whole day was ran very well, from the initial pick up at the hotel, the coach ride to Auschwitz and of course the tour around the camps. Our guide was very personable and very informative. I would definitely recommend this tour and especially with this tour operator.

Nearly a disaster

Was a great trip with fantastic very knowledgeable guides. Don't forget your id as I did for getting into Auschwitz. Thanks very much to our guide Kassa on coach 5 for managing to get my wife and I in with a pic of my driving licence that I managed to find on my phone

Wieliczka Salt Mine: Guided Tour from Krakow (with hotel pick-up)

Shaun_S, Oct 2026

Excellent Trip would highly recomend!

There are “lots!” Of stairs down to the mine. I was surprised how good the actual stairs were though, I expected the stairs to be made from the rock salt but they were wood and modern, so easily navigated, especially as you were going down! Prepare for quite a bit of walking as there are literally miles under ground!! The open mine was amazing, there were sculptures all made out of Salt (Obv) My wife was finding the walking difficult (especially after the climb down) but one of the guides noticed this and when we walked towards the lifts back to the surface, as we were right at the back of our group, he directed us a different route and we went up a different lift. There were only 3 of us so we basically had our own lift and it brought us back to the surface, right near where our minibus was parked, rather than having to cram into a lift with lots of people and then have another quite long walk back to the minibus! An excellent trip. Our driver Jerry from Cracow For You was great he was in constant touch with us via WhatsApp and he even took us on a short sightseeing trip around Krakow on the way back. 10/10 would highly recommend this trip!!

Krakow: Zakopane Tour, Tatra Mountains & Cable Car (Hotel Pickup)

Emma_W, Oct 2026

Great insight into Zakopane region

The transport took roughly 1.5hrs each way (departing Krakow), to and from Zakopane. My guide, Kacper, was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. He was a great driver too! The weather on this day (Tuesday 29th September) was perfect so you could see the mountains and take in the surroundings. Went on the cable car which is a must on this trip as the views are stunning. Make sure you check the weather before you go - it has to be a sunny clear day otherwise I feel it would be a wasted trip tbh. The other stops Kacper made gave a great insight into life in Zakopane region. Any question you asked of him, he knew the answer. Had 3 hours to wander Zakopane myself and get some lunch. Kacper recommended a few spots and I chose Goralski Brower. It had very nice views of the mountains although what I chose to eat, the broth with noodles, was disappointing. But the Aperol spritz made up for it! In all honesty, I wish I’d have stayed overnight in this region so I could have explored a lot more and maybe ventured a little further up the mountains. If you get the chance to do this, I think it would be worth it.

Auschwitz & Birkenau Guided Tour with Hotel Pickup from Krakow

Paul_W, Oct 2026

Avoid this tour company

Paid and confirmed a pickup time 09.15 by Viator. The tour operator Hello Cracow contacted us days before to change pickup to 1.30 pm a 7 hour tour. To late to rebook with other operators who were already full . We were told ignore Viator time only time Auschwitz gave them. On arrival ticket said 16.00 time. Avoid this company Hello Cracow they admitted tickets were sold for time slots they did not have. We lost our evening tour not returning to Krackow until 08.45 pm . It’s a big con selling time slots they don’t have. No empathy they knew it was take or leave it . DONT BOOK THIS TOUR with them.

1 Day Trip Auschwitz Birkenau and Salt Mines with Hotel Transfer

Janet_S, Sep 2026

Long day but worth it

Salt mines were amazing. Yes, you have to walk down almost 400 steps. Not bad doing it but the next day - ouch - and I am in good shape. The concentration camps are somewhere everyone should visit. Never forget. Our guides were great - very informative. My only negative is that the day was very long with no lunch stop (other than vending machine). Would recommend bringing your own sandwich!

Wieliczka Salt Mine Guided Tour with Hotel Transfers

Lynn_T, Jul 2026

Fantastic! Must see whilst in Krakow

Amazing experience from start to finish. Messaged the night before to confirm collection time from Hotel. Arrived a little early. Really friendly, helpful and informative guide. Sent tickets to your phone, making entry to the Salt Mines easy. Managed expectations in relation to how much you would be walking, the length of time it would be, and where you could exit. Arranged to meet again for transport back to hotel. Loved the Salt Mines. Amazing visually and really informative. Great for family, although be prepared to do a lot of walking. My big boys loved it. We dressed for warmth, it was 27degrees outside and it was warm in the Mines. We could have done with lighter clothing. Overall a fab experience. Would definitely recommend

Excellent tour

Excellent tour! Our driver Bartek offered to prepare a lunch for us between the two stops as there isnt much time to grab something to eat. There are only vending machines so if you are offered the lunch, take it. Our guide was great too, didnt just fire on ahead and didnt dilly dally either. He was extremely informative and very knowledgeable. The tours are 70% outdoors and walking so comfortable shoes and a jacket is ideal.

A must!

There are a lot of steps but it is worth it. They are really good steps so not an issue but to be aware of. I am not sure what I was expecting but it was actually quite a mind blowing experience and certainly worth doing. Our guide Monika was great, she was very knowledgeable and was very organised and clear about what to expect etc. Great afternoon even if my legs were a tad sore!

Magical Winter Day in Zakopane

We had an amazing trip in Zakopane! Our guide, Mati, was excellent — he arrived on time, took us to all the interesting spots, and explained everything clearly along the way. We visited traditional wooden cabins, tasted grilled cheese with local vodka, and enjoyed a beautiful cable-car ride. We ended the day at the thermal baths with warm, relaxing water. There was snow everywhere, which made the whole experience even more magical. It was a wonderful, fun, and enjoyable day from start to finish. Highly recommended!
