Krakow to Auschwitz tour

Even though the tour was brought forward from 11 a.m. to 8 a.m., the organization was very good overall. Everything went smoothly. Our tour guide spoke very good German and explained a lot and also answered questions. The 3:30h tour goes by quickly and is a bit superficial. There is little time to look at things in peace. You would have to book one of the longer tours for that. Overall, it was a very good experience (despite all the terrible things we saw and heard)

The guide. She was awesome. Her voice tone, her knowledge and sentimental soul added a lot to this trip. Everyone should go and see what happened in the history. Everyone should feel and understand.

I found it really well organized. Always available to guide tourists. Thank you very much for your guide.

An experience rich in emotions. Friendly guide and everything went very smoothly. The only downside: our visit scheduled for 10am was moved to 3:30pm. This was written into the sales conditions, but it was a real inconvenience given our schedule.

A place that should be visited at least once in a lifetime. The guide was very knowledgeable and gave a detailed account of what was seen in the death camps. It remains a strong image in the mind and heart

Except for the fact that we had booked the tour leaving at 10 a.m. and the time was changed to 5:40 a.m.😓in the end it turned out better than expected because we finished by lunch and had half a day left.The tour is nice with the guide but a bit quick.Margherita was wonderful, very thorough and kind, she gave us useful advice about staying in Krakow as well.

This is a sensitive camp. The guide was very professional. He explained everything very clearly. The meeting point and all the information was presented very clearly.

We were a small group of French people, with an exceptional guide by the name of Anita. The tour was, however, quite demanding.

Visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau is a deeply moving and sobering experience. It’s not a “beautiful” place in the conventional sense—nor should it be. It is a place that confronts us with the darkest chapters of human history, and reminds us of the unimaginable suffering endured by millions. Our tour was exceptionally well guided by Magdalena m. Her knowledge, sensitivity, and respectful tone were outstanding throughout the visit. She managed to convey historical facts with clarity while also capturing the emotional weight and human stories behind them. Magdalena struck the perfect balance between education and empathy—never overstepping the line into dramatization, but also never letting the gravity of the place fade. This is not a tour you “enjoy” in the traditional sense. It is a tour you carry with you. Thanks to Magdalena, we left not only informed, but emotionally connected to what we had witnessed. Her guidance made all the difference.

The tour itself was great, you can't complain. Anyone who wants to take a look should definitely book a tour to get a lot of peripheral information. It is highly recommended - we found it very interesting and heartbreaking at the same time. I just thought it was a shame that our tour was brought forward to 07:45 instead of 11:30 as booked. It was just decided and we had no other option such as choosing another day or a refund.

I loved that we were picked up and dropped off at our hotel- the drive was nice and the van was comfy- it was an enjoyable moving experience- our tour guide was very good and he shared a lot of information- glad we booked it

A respectful factual tour, covering a very difficult subject, done very well.

The tour guide went into so much detail and just to be able to walk round

Well planned. Good communication.

Very nice guide very informative

Wonderful, and the guide was fabulous, a 10!

Everything was perfect, from the purchase to the tour! Always informed of the program! Kindness of the guides.

Good tour, very important in order to understand our human history and the terrors humanity is capable of.

The punctuality of the organization and the professionalism of the guide.

The guide I had at Auschwitz

Friendly, professional guides. Everything is clear from the start. I recommend

Everything was super organized and ran very smoothly. The only thing that could be improved is better information about the ride from Auschwitz to Birkenau - a free bus is available, which not everyone knows about.

I would have liked a little more time to look at the individual stops. Furthermore, the tour guide spoke too quickly and was often difficult or impossible to understand (due to the accent).

Very good guide. Good service.. Nice driver.. Droped us off at the hotel casus It was on the way back. Friendly. Super !!

The pick-up time was scheduled for 6am and was brought forward to 4am. Despite getting up so early, we had to wait from 5:30 to 9:45 to start the visit. It seems to me that the organization was not good and does not conform to "no queue entry". In this sense, I feel cheated.

Service in general was well organized and on time. Tight schedule due to the crowds visiting the Auschwitz/Birkenau camps every day. The guide Barbara had to deal with an unforeseen situation and still managed not to waste too much of our time, ensuring a complete visit. She was helpful in answering questions and thorough in her explanations.

It was one of the most moving experiences we've ever had. Our tour guide Suzana, was brilliant and did a great job, as did the guide who took us around auschwitz. We will never forget the experience, and brought home why we must continue to pray for the peace of Israel. Thank you.

The tour of Auschwitz itself was fantastic and the guide there was fantastic. The third kart company they use "discover cracow" is dreadful though. Very unprofessional, disorganised and frankly I thought their service was unacceptable

+The ticketing was very easy,the bus and the driver were very good, the guide was a good one -There was a reschedule of about 6 hours of our trip

It was a perfect experience, the bus transfer, the pick up and drop off points in Krakow, Margarita the girl who took care of everything, the guide that we had during the visit with all the explanations a marvel, although the visit is hard I would always recommend her.

Despite the fact that they changed the pick up time (from 8:00 to 10:20h) it has fulfilled everything we expected. The routes were super comfortable, the guide explained everything great and you could leave your backpacks in the bus that was always in the parking lot ready to pick us up. In short, highly recommended if you do not want to go on your own.

The timing and schedule were met, the time of the Pic up was anticipated as it was indicated among the possibilities, this was an advantage because it allowed for the afternoon to be free and to enjoy the visit in the cool morning, a more collected time, with beautiful light. Thank you!

Loved the trip. Very informative and the guides were wonderful. The only issue was our tour got preponed from 12pm to 10am and our we were supposed to reach krakow at 10:30pm so had to take an earlier bus which cost us quite a bit.

The immersion in the place as well as in time, transports you to the historical moment. To put a but, the guide in Spanish too linear in tone, caused some disconnection.

The guide (Mijael - Walker) was very friendly and enthusiastic in explaining everything in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Both Auschwitz and the salt mine are essential visits if you go to Krakow, it was great to be able to do them in one day. On the downside: initially the pick up for the tour was going to be at 7:45 but the day before we were told that we would be picked up 2 hours earlier than planned.

Both experiences perfectly organized down to the smallest detail. The mines a real treat. Auschwitz and Birkenau, a complex and touching experience that everyone should do. Both guides really good. The guide to the Auschwitz and Birkenau camps, with his depth of thought and emotionality perfectly conveyed to us the understanding of what happened there. Gabriella and Joseph

The visit to the mine was not with the company's guide, not only did he not accompany us, but he gave the group the opportunity to decide whether to visit the museum, which was included and should have been done (whoever did not want to wait at the door). In short, the guide of the company that accompanies you to the Mine only does that and worries about conditioning the group not to visit the museum so they can leave early. I would not hire him again.

We really liked the transportation, the driver was nice and very kind, as well as our tour guide. She was very friendly. What we didn't like was the fact that we had to wait to the lines for a long time. We started the tour 2 hours earlier than we were scheduled and we had to wait to the queues.

Fantastic tour with so much history and information. Our guide was full of knowledge and very engaging. Everyone should do this tour!

The guide was kind to us, full of energy and very considerate, giving us several clear instructions before leaving us with the guides or on our own. Right from the start, we were given stickers to stick on our clothes to help us find our way around. The guides at Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka were friendly, experienced and answered all our questions.

The best part was the guided tour in Wieliczka, the guide was really good and spoke English well. Also our driver for the day, Michal, was very nice and helpful the whole day.

Extremely punctual and organized it was an incredible experience

Well organized trip from start to finish. Good guiding.

I would avoid head out if possible! We got a confirmation email that stated that the departure window was 7:30-10 am and that the exact pick-up time would be confirmed a day before. A day before we got a message that the pick-up time would be 5:30!!! Somewhere in the site it stated that the pick-up times may vary and the support team, which took a month to answer my message (!!), thought that this was enough to inform the customer. The new departure time was two hours before the departure window stated in the email and I think that I’m not the only one who thinks this was too early. It was also too late to change plans for us, just a day before! I don't understand why in this case the departure window was gone in the beginning if it's completely disregarded. Second problem was that even with this outrageously early departure time there was still a lot of queuing and the schedule was tight due to that. We didn’t have time for bathroom or food after Auschwitz and were told that there would be a longer break after Birkenau. The longer break for walking to the bus, getting a snack and toilets was 15 minutes, which was not enough and me and my friend had a terrible headache for the rest of the day and couldn’t do anything else in the evening after the trip. Thirdly, we were told that the trip would be 10,5-11 hours and even with such an early start to a day, the whole trip took 12 hours. There was also something positive: the guide in the concentration camps was great and it was really humbling to get to visit the camps.

Auschwitz-Birkenau opportunity not to be missed. Well prepared guide and very informative. Provided transport from hotel excellent. Salt Mines interesting but at times a bit lengthy. Exit a bit confusing. Provided transport to hotel excellent.

Despite a last-minute schedule change (departure delayed by 1 hour and morning and afternoon tours reversed), organization was excellent and the day ran smoothly. Communication via a Whatsapp loop and the timing of breaks (important in an 11-hour day!) contributed to this. We had ordered lunch boxes the day before, which were delivered to us as we boarded the coach in the morning. The coach was also very clean and comfortable. Our guide literally lived his comments and explanations, which made the visits very moving in these places with a heavy past. Frankly, we recommend it. Bravo

The organization was good despite the change of pick-up times at the meeting point! Daniel made a great effort to keep us together 😊

I really enjoyed the excursion, they were punctual and gave advance notice of the change of schedule, via WhatsApp and email. We were able to visit two places on the same day, which was fantastic! Things to improve: we couldn't understand the guide very well, his English wasn't clear. There was no time for lunch, we had 10-minute breaks which we had to manage: between going to the toilet and/or having a snack. On the way back they dropped us off at the agreed place, but suggested several times that we could get off at a previous stop and walk back, it was raining, so we chose not to accept the suggestion. Overall, we were happy with our choice, there were no major problems, only aspects to improve. The tour was great.

The visit of such an important historical place is worth it and the salt mine is spectacular and I recommend it 100%. The departure at 5:20am with no option to have breakfast on the way was a bad experience. The entrance to Auswitchz was very messy with only two people at the entrance. They should improve for the amount of visitors.

Renata was our fantastic chaffeur to and from Krakow and made every effort to get is there safely and on time. Entrance lines were seemless. One recommendation is that the driver for the Salt Mine excursion (different to Renata), collects people from the actual exit of the Salt Mine and folks are not expected to find the parking lot (which is very confusing). Otherwise an awesome day spent, thank you!

Great guide and simple ticket process

The person who accompanied us in the van was very kind.

Guides in both locations were excellent, especially the last ar Auschwitz-Birkenau, who got the tone just right

Hello, they changed our pick up time. The carriage we were transported in was cramped and uncomfortable. The tour was very fast through the concentration camps. The guide was very adequate and the information was interesting. The truth is that I expected more for the price paid.

The transportation service was very efficient, kind and reliable. The guided tour was very interesting, although a bit hurried. The last person in the group often could not hear from the headphones what the fuida was saying.

Very good welcome. The driver was punctual at the meeting point. He waited for us during the visits and drove us to the second site. Return on time. Top service. Would recommend.

It struck me , very touching

The tour to Auschwitz was good, I just think it lacked more information. The tour to Schindler's factory was very good because it explains the Second World War from what Poland experienced. Very interesting

Schindler’s List was a deeply moving and harrowing film. What I appreciated most was how it didn’t shy away from the brutality of the Holocaust, yet still managed to highlight the strength of the human spirit.

Tour of Auschwitz camp superb, very interesting and moving. For Schindler's factory, it was difficult to understand the guide and the theme was more focused on the Second World War than on the character himself.

I had booked assuming to be picked up at hotel, later found out that our hotel did not meet the pickup Point! A lot of arranging and then went to Ausschitz myself! Because bus did not come to pick us up, we were taken to Birkenau but then walked back because bus could not bring us back, we could go to Krakow but then on our own? Or on own transport there and back, all in all we made extra costs (own transport and parking).

Well organised. Every part of the trip ran smoothly.

We had a great driver, very nice and informative. All in all a great and perfectly organized tour

The name of the Tour a visit to the Schindler factory is not correct. We did not see a factory only the story about the Poles during the war. The rooms are too small or the groups too large did not get anything from the explanations. Very disappointing if you expect to visit the factory. Misleading is the conclusion

Excellent organization and ability to solve the needs of the day very quickly. The tour to Aushwitz-Birkenau was emotionally impactful and reflective-everyone at least once in their life should have this experience

The guide's performance was excellent, but my only regret was that the tour was so quick, we had to make room for another group arriving quickly, and we didn't have time to linger and read the panels and absorb the nobility of the events through the realistic reconstructions.

Trip worked like Charme, good contact, friendly driver. Pickup and Drop off at my hotel worked perfectly. Bus was a little crowded, everything Else perfect

Organization of the day, including transportation moving discovery of the deportation sites It's a pity that the guide spoke so quickly in English with Polish pronunciation, which made it difficult to understand. Fortunately, we were very familiar with the history of the Holocaust in Auschwitz and Birkenau.

Loved the guide Michael. He was so generous with his time and particularly sensitive to the issues of Auschwitz-Birkenhau and all the evil that happened at this awful time in history. Thank you! He was great! 🙏
