Wonderful agency wonderful person

Rebecca_L, Apr 2026

Was fretting over the whole get to museum, etc. Train, Bolt, etc. This popped up. We paid bit more but it was so worth it. We were picked up at our lodging. The trip was soooo comfortable in a Mercedes. Mrs. S. explained where coffee, toilet, ticket everything. She waited for us to finish the tour. Such a wonderful person. When we got back to Krakow she took us directly to our restaurant reservations. We were running early so she called restaurant, in Polish asked if we could get in early problem solved. We loved her so much we worked out having her pick us up to take us to the airport 2 days later at 3 am. 5 +++ stars

The driver was...

The driver was excellent!! my wife and I made a slight mistake on our part and forgot to book museum tickets, but our driver, Micheal made the best of our experience and took us all around and showed us all we wanted to see outside of the museum that we could see and even more!!

Excellent Drivers

Professional extremely friendly driver. Who went out of their way to ensure a safe enjoyable journey

A disgrace, a scam, and a deception all around.

Whatever you call, they are going to charge you an outrageous amount that is just not normal. I hired her over the phone; they assured me that they had tickets, but in English, and I told her that I didn't mind. When they send me the ticket, I see that it says no entry, but when I write to them in the chat, they assure me again that they have them (I have the chat saved). When the taxi driver arrives, he tells me that I must bring our own tickets, that there are no tickets, and I contact Viator again, and then they tell me that there are no tickets and that they will not refund my money, 280 euros for taking you to and from the concentration camp from Krakow, a scam to charge that and on top of that lying to your face telling you that you have tickets. A disgusting and shameful company to which I will never ask for anything, and I hope that all of you reading this comment do the same.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

We sincerely apologize for the frustration caused. We do not take or confirm bookings by phone and if we did we would have booked the tour directly through our website and not through viator. This reservation appears to have been made through a travel agency, which then booked our service on the your behalf. The booking was made under the “No Tickets Included” option, and the exclusion of entrance tickets is clearly stated on the product page, in the booking details, the “What’s Included” section, and the tour description before purchase. Based on the messages available to us, we did not state that entrance tickets were included. Unfortunately, it seems you were promised something by the third-party agency that is not included in, or offered by, our service. Please feel free to contact us and Viator with the screenshots and all information you have to investigate this further.
