About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- louisesQ2096XR0 contributionsCannot recommend Max enoughMax collected us from our accommodation to go to the airport at the end of our stay in Krakov. He was on time and immediately put at ease with his friendly manner. He chatted to us, asking about our experiences and gave us local knowledge, we wish he had collected us from the airport! I cannot recommend him enough!Written January 13, 2025
- Luke D0 contributionsTransfer with Super MaxBrilliant service from Max who messaged me as the plane landed with clear instruction on where to meet. We then had a luxurious ride from the airport to our hotel in the old town where Max waited until we had safely made it into the hotel. Top top service.Written January 13, 2025

- 771georgiea0 contributionsNot great. No contact and they wouldn’t have turned up unless our hotel stepped in.We didn’t hear from any driver or the operator on the morning of our transfer to the airport. I tried ringing the number six times, but no answer. In the end, an hour before we needed to be at the airport the manager of our hotel got a hold of them and made sure our transfer turned up. Pretty stressful, so not a good experience.Written January 13, 2025

- Bjelsom0 contributionsAuschwitz and Birkenua, Hotel pickup and guided tour from krakowQuite disappointed, arranged hotel pick up and tour to Auschwitz and birkenua. They had arranged pick up from the wrong hotel with similar name despite me having originally sent the correct address and name of hotel. Unable to contact them to inform them of their error. So a taxi was required to get us to the destination of pick up. We shared the ride with a family of 4 others. The driver did not speak to any of us to make polite talk over the whole journey. When we exited the car he seemed rushed walking ahead of us again no conversation only to give instructions. The tour its self was amazing the tour guide was excellent and walked at a pace to allow everyone to gain knowledge and see and hear the history of the tour. She was wonderful x journey home was the same no conversation no music nothing. Everything was rushed and the driver could have made the experience a lot better with some input and light conversation.Written January 11, 2025
- paulhabets620 contributionsFlight delayedGot in touch with gr8 way via a transport platform they would pick me up at 22:00 in the evening from the airport in krakow, due to fog the flight was delayed for more than 2.5 hours, the driver Max Szkatula would wait for me, as soon as the plane had landed I already got a message that he was ready for me, and that feels very good, the ride from the airport to the city (25 minutes) was very pleasant and felt very safe. definitely recommended to do business with this company, and if you also get Max Szkatula as a driver everything goes perfectly.Written January 11, 2025

Really great experience, It was so emotional stay in the place where a terrible page of history has made.
I book the tickets in Rynek Główny and the taxi driver Bart took me from there to the historical museum of Auschwitz and then at the end of the first guide he brings me to Birkenau (second visit) . Always punctual and a good guide and driver! I recommend him!

The self-drive, train or public bus option to get to Auschwitz is no good for many reasons but mainly because you don't want to stand in line to get a ticket to join a group (which is mandatory). You cannot around Auschwitz on your own before late afternoon. So I went to the Tourist Information Spot in Sv. Jana Street cr. Main Sq. in Kraków for a group day tour of Auschwitz. I did not want to book online. Paid cash for the tour. Excellent service. The driver was punctual, friendly and in every way just ideal. We were met by fa local guide at Auschwitz who obviously put her heart in the work: she was not there just to herd yet another group of tourists through the camp. The whole tour cost slightly more than it would have if I had to arrange it all on my own. Highly recommended.

Obviously this trip is not one that is taken for pleasure, but is one that is taken because it is our duty as humans to remember the immense suffering experienced by everyday people, at the hands everyday people.
The tour was spoken straight and to the point, we saw everything that we needed to see. Nothing was embellished; the horrors spoke for themselves.
The collection and drop off by GR8WAYTOURS was very professional, and the local knowledge and information provided by Max was indispensible. I can't recommend highly enough.

Unfortunately the agency wasn't properly informed about the closing hours of the museum, resulting in totally missing the experience of Birkenau. We asked for a refund as we didn't get what we paid for and the agency took no responsibility showing great unprofessionalism. Would not recommend as you cannot be sure about the result of the services and the price isnt the best deal you can find.

Dear guests
Thank you for taking your time to share opinion about our product. The hours of visiting both camps are arranged by Auschwitz museum. It depends on certain guide how much time you will spend in each camp. He supposed to also know how to plan a tour to show guests everything as hhe is aware of the hours of closing.
We are verry sorry our tour did not meet your expectations as we try to provide the best service we can.

We booked entrance tickets for Auschwitz&Birkenau for Good Friday. When we arrived at the entrance of the museum, we discovered that the place where we were supposed to receive the tickets was within the museum grounds. A new entrance had been built in 2023, however, the confirmation email still contained a picture and the address of the old entrance. Nobody was waiting for us with any tickets, emails and phone calls were not answered. We felt being cheated and were very angry and disappointed because as a result we did not have a chance to visit the concentration camp after all. It was not possible to buy a daily ticket once we had discovered that we were not getting the service we had booked. You need to buy your tickets well in advance as this is a very popular spot for many tourists, particularily over Eastern. The only positive thing I can say about this company is that the money we had paid upfront was refunded to us.

We were collected on time by our driver Karol, I sat up front and had a some really interesting conversation which made the journey entertaining and go fast! The tour was very interesting, factual and done tastefully by local guides and translators who speak good English! If you want reliable guaranteed transport and a good tour then book with these guys. I booked at the tourist information centre in Kraków which I feel is the safest option. There are cheaper alternatives but I don’t feel it worth the risk as other people have been let down but other companies and it’s fairly common place!

We were fortunate enough to have Filip as our tour driver. He is very friendly and talkative, a solid driver, willing to satisfy the customer's needs. I'm not exaggerating by saying that the part I enjoyed to most from this tour was the interaction with Filip while driving to and from Auschwitz.

I have not had a good experience with this tour operator, among other things one of the most expensive. We did 2 tours on two different days, one to the salt mines went well, the other to Auschwitz with an inconvenience that partially ruined the tour. There was a scheduled time, in the evening I received a message from them with a time change of two hours later, at 12.15 instead of 9.45 and the next day the driver arrives at the hotel at about 9.20 without knowing that they had informed us of a change of program. As we weren't ready, we had to leave the hotel in a hurry, having a quick breakfast and I didn't have time to even bring water. But the worst thing is that we went with the anxiety of not arriving on time for the tour, we got there running. in short, partly ruined day. These mistakes cannot be made.
A separate speech for the driver who was always very kind and helpful on both tours.

What can I say from start to finish David our driver was amazing. picked us up from the airport and took us to our apartment in Krakow even though booking. com had the wrong address down it was no bother for David to take us. On the way to our apartment David was giving us a guided tour giving us advice on where to go and which local restaurants to go to. After dropping us off he said if we needed anything to WhatsApp him. We decided to visit Auschwitz on a ticket only and asked David to take us. Luckily we had him as he told us we needed passports which we would not have taken otherwise and would have been a wasted trip. I text him on our morning of departure as I had txt the other driver and did not get a reply. He went out of his way for us contacting his company and ringing the other driver to let him know we were at a different address. If it wasn’t for him we would have been in a right pickle. Thanks ever so much David.

We had pre booked ticket to visit Auschwitz, however, we didn’t have any transportation booked. I totally recommend GR8WAY if you want to travel in luxury, style & comfort.
Our chauffeur was called Bart, he couldn’t do enough for us. He was an incredible polite gentleman who was fluent in English.
The trip consisted of Auschwitz followed by a short bus journey in your group to Birkenau Camp.
Bart arranged to collect us directly outside Birkenau to save us catching the bus back again. He kept our food in his car, where we were able to return between camps for a quick break & snack.
Request Bart if you book through this company, you won’t be disappointed.
