Lorraine_M, Oct 2026

Picked up from our hotel,...

Picked up from our hotel, did a couple of pickups which were quite close then straight there. Driver was helpful and friendly and guided us to the entrance to the salt mine where we met our guide. The tour inside was fantastic lots of steps down but you get a lift back up.

Wonderful English Tour Experience

Great experience. Smooth process and instructions were very clear and easy to understand. Our tour guide was attentive and fantastic at storytelling! It was easy to stay engaged. He gave a wonderful speech at the end of the tour that really helped bring the experience all together for reflection. I would recommend this to anyone!

Great tour.

Such a great tour. Would definitely recommend. Our driver/tour guide ‘walker’ was very knowledgeable and accommodating to the whole group. A definite must do if visiting Poland. Would recommend taking dinner/drinks along with you as you don’t get time to stop and dress warm if going around October as it’s quite chilly.

Amazing tour of a ghastly place

This tour of Auschwitz/birkenau is something you do and you must do before leaving Poland. Our guide Eugene was superb. Articulate and thoughtful in his understanding and explanations of the horrors of the place, he gave a masterful tour. The experience is difficult, made moreso by the numbers of visitors. But that’s sort of the point. People need to see this place and 2M do so every year. Yet despite the challenges in bringing a large group through, Eugene still manged to impart the key information and ideas of the shoah, and even relate it to events of today. We began our tour in Krakow and on the long drive to the camp Eugene engaged us in discussion even relating his personal experiences and motivation for doing what he does. His guidance on navigating us through the crowds was masterful and his presentation of everything from the horrible details of life in the camps to discussions of the “other” were all spot on. Horrible, respectful, and designed to educate and allow us to “feel” the horror some 75 years later. I recommend this tour without hesitancy, and I commend Eugene for his humanity and his dedication in compassionately leading others through this place of horror.

Highly recommend, what a lovely day!

We had a fantastic day out to Zakopane and the thermal baths. It was made even better by our brilliant guide, Olaf! Olaf was extremely informative, funny and friendly throughout the day, keeping us updated at every stage. The WhatsApp group was also a really helpful touch and made everything run smoothly and stress-free. We started by visiting a lovely little Polish village before trying traditional sheep’s milk cheese and sampling some vodka. It was a really enjoyable experience and a great way to learn more about the local culture and traditions. We then continued to Zakopane, where we went to the top of it mountain on the funicular train. We also had time to explore the market and town, wander around the shops and enjoy something to eat. The day finished at the amazing thermal baths, which was the perfect way to relax after a busy day. There was so many thermal pools to choose from and everything was so clean. Loved it there especially the outside pool.with the swim up bar. Our guide Olaf provided plenty of useful information throughout the whole trip, making everything easy, enjoyable and well organised. His humour and knowledge really added to the experience, and we never felt unsure about what was happening or where we needed to be. Overall, we had a wonderful day from start to finish and would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Poland. A big thank you to Olaf for making it such a memorable experience

reflective Auschwitz visit

A lot of walking, around 10,000 steps in total, but well worth it. Our guide was really informative and conveyed the necessary info without sensationalism. I really did not want to go on this trip, it was my partner who wanted to do it, but I am glad that I did. Very sad, but a warning from history.

Nadine_P, Oct 2026

100% worth it

We had such a great day. It started with the salt mine, which was very interesting. There are alot of stairs but anyone can do it, it's not that bad. What is inside that mine will blow your mind. Afterwards we did the two camp sites. It made it a Somber Day but we learned even more than what we knew. Our tour guides were awesome, bus ride comfortable, and driver was very cognizant of the van being warm or cold. I would recommend this 100%

Auschwitz-Birkenau visit October 2026

The booking with Viator has been pain free. A professional service and very helpful throughout. I would definitely recommend them if you intend to book. The only thing I would suggest is be mindful that the timing that you book can change right up until the last few days. The pick up from the hotel (by Mark) was excellent, a good journey to Auschwitz in a comfortable vehicle. In Auschwitz, a very moving and emotional site. This was brought to life by our guide (sorry don’t know his name) who was so knowledgeable on the subject. Throughout the visit he gave us an excellent understanding of this tragic history of our forefathers. It is something that I believe everyone should visit in their lives just so we never allow ourselves to make the same mistakes again. My only criticism is the groups walking around the site are so tightly packed that on occasion the guides end up talking over each other. Our tour was originally scheduled for 0930hrs and was finally scheduled for 1530hrs, so when we got there it was a massive rush to get around both camps before it got dark. 1830hrs. We stopped twice for ten minutes in that time which was difficult for elder people. On the whole though, an excellent visit,very reasonable, professional service and helpfull. Thanks Viator. Rob P.

Amazing day out

Wonderful time. The local cheese and vodka were delicious. We went on a Monday in Oct and there were not many people so you could easily eat on top of the mountain. The small local house visit felt a bit rushed. Would have loved a bit more history on the clothes shown. The thermal baths were amazing. Make sure you bring shoes with good traction for inside. Daniel was a great guide and answered all of our questions. Good communication throughout. Highly recommend.

Great experience from start to finish.

Our driver contacted us the day before to confirm pick up time from our hotel and also offered a packed lunch if needed. He picked us up on time in a clean and comfortable minibus. Our tour guide at Auschwitz was excellent, knowledgeable and respectful. The tour itself is well organised and remained dignified throughout. It involves a lot of walking so dress appropriately for the weather and bring snacks/drinks as breaks were short and queues for vending machines very long.

Fun day trip to the Salt Mines

Had an amazing experience visiting the salt mines. We experienced a bit of an issue being admitted into the mines on time despite our tour guides asking the staff multiple times to admit us (groups arriving after us kept going in while our group stood waiting for 40ish minutes). This was no fault of the tour operator however and they were apologetic. They also dropped us off closer to the city on the way back to make up for the mishap. The mines themselves were so beautiful and it was well organised other than the admission at the beginning. Be prepared to walk and climb a lot stairs. The tour guides were very knowledgeable on the bus ride over and the trip was well organised. Thank you!

A somber, yet important, experience. Nicely organized by the tour company

A somber, yet important, experience about the tragic history of Auschwitz-Birkenau that I wish every person could experience to never forget these tragedies. Tomasz was our driver for the day. He was incredibly kind, courteous and respectful. It’s a long, exhausting morning so I greatly appreciated him dropping us off at our pick up locations.
