Well organised tour

Well organised trip From booking to pick up the communication was exceptional Pick up point very easy to find It’s a full day out so wear good shoes and prepare for the weather as part of the camps are outside Pick up was 09.30 and we arrived back in Krakow at 18.00 Guide was clear in his instructions on what to do when we got to Auschwitz I Toilets and vending/cafe at both camps although Birkenau charged 😩 Camp guide was very informative so hats off to Syzmon. On the camps themselves it’s horrific that humans can be so evil to each other

Emotional and Informative day to Auschwitz-Birkenau

The trip to Auschwitz- Birkenau was a deeply thought provoking and disturbing experience. It’s something I’ve read so much about and wanted to go but faced with the atrocities that took place there really hits home and can be very emotional. There is a considerable amount of walking involved and very little time to yourself for breaks or browsing yourself. The day lasted over 7 hours from start to finish.

Great Experience

Our experience was incredible from start to finish. We were picked up from our hotel for an early morning start and transported to a nearby location to jump on the bus. We were provided all information in advance, including pick up and driver information. On the way to Auschwitz we were played a documentary to provide everyone introductory information on the camps, and history. Our driver Łukasz S kept us informed about what to expect, organised our tickets and group throughout the day, including keeping us updated via a WhatsApp message with any changes. The tour itself was a confronting experience due to the nature of the subject matter, but our tour guide handled it with incredible professionalism, knowledge and respect. We unfortunately had a few members of our group that at times spoke over our driver and tour guide, and kept the group waiting. Whilst this was frustrating, the team handled this completely professionally without detracting from the experience for others. As a side note, our driver actually organised an extra stop on the way back to further convenience our group. We also left a personal item on the bus (our mistake) and Łukasz went above and beyond (on a public holiday nonetheless) to organise to get it back to us before an early flight the next morning. Huge thank you to Paweł (who was off shift) for making the trip out to us to return our item. An experience, and a company that I would, without a doubt recommend to everyone.

Great day!

We had a crazy day accompanied by our guide Mirek. Throughout our trip, Mirek helped us discover the villages we were passing through with all sorts of anecdotes. We were able to discover a traditional cheese accompanied by vodkas (incredible). If you wish to discover the heights of Poland and the oldest village in good company, I recommend this activity; if you have a choice of guide, ask for Mirek for a great experience!

Must do trip to pay respect.

Unbelievable experience. Very sad and humbling but very much needed to show respect and remember the victims of the Camps and the war. Excellent service from our driver and guides. Did salt mines morning followed by Auschwitz pm. A lot of walking but expertly put together. Would highly recommend.

It was around 10-12k...

It was around 10-12k steps across the day for us - we had an official guide at both locations and it was very helpful and better than going to do it solo. Whilst there’s a lot to see at Auschwitz we were taken round quickly to all the ‘more’ important parts due to time constraints and light - consider whether you’d want a longer time there as to whether this tour is for you or not. Lunch is excellent and would recommend. No complaints about the tour at all.

Great tour - exceeded expectations!

I didn't know what to expect with the Salt Mines tour - I had been highly recommended it numerous times but had no idea on the size of the mines. It is well organised tour, really imformative and the guide very friendly and with lots of stories. The carvings were out of this world! Lots of walking (800 steps in total) but a lift back to the top at the end but so worth it.

Great trip!

We had a fantastic day. Jakub contacted us in advance to confirm pickup details. All ran smoothly. We particularly enjoyed the cheese and vodka tasting and thermal pool. We were really lucky as the weather was fantastic which always helps to make the most of things. We also had a good group of people which made it even more fun. All in all great trip.

Visiting a spectacular slice of Poland!

A fantastic experience from start to finish. Casper was an outstanding tour guide - very personable, full of personal stories about growing up in Poland as well as related to the areas we were visiting, and a genuine love for meeting people and showing off his great country. The variety of places we visited, time spent in each location, and overall efficiency of the day were excellent and we enjoyed everything immensely. Thank you!

Top experience

Today my husband and I took the tour to Auschwitz. Dawid was our tour guide. We were very satisfied with him. And for the following reasons: He came to pick us up on time to begin. Drives safely. Is social and friendly. Clearly explains what we can expect when we arrive at Auschwitz and is helpful there. Has attention and care for people. A very nice experience. Dawid is clearly someone who enjoys his work.

A nice, relaxing day

A very relaxed day with a great guide (Michael) who made the day more enjoyable with his humour...and Vodka shots. Really enjoyed going up the mountain in Zakopane. There was enough time to take in the views, have a beer and then explore the town a bit. The Thermal Bath was lovely as well, with enough time to not feel rushed and actually just sit back and relax. I felt the pacing of this tour was spot-on. Too often you feel rushed, and this really gave enough time for the two main stops.

We were supposed to be picked up between...

We were supposed to be picked up between 7 and 10 o'clock but were told the day before that we would be picked up at 6, which meant we couldn't have the breakfast we had paid for. The driver we were with was over 140 km/h where one had to drive 110, despite us pointing it out, he just continued to drive fast in very dense traffic The Auschwitz itself and the guided tour were good and a good guide
