Itinerary
- 1Visit the most well-known former concentration camp and the place of the biggest and most tragic genocide in the world history – The Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum that has witnessed death of around 1.5 million people committed by the Nazis. During your trip, you will visit Auschwitz I, which was the first and main part of the camp but also served as administrative headquarters for the whole complex and Birkenau, which was initially designed as a concentration camp and quickly turned into the main place of the genocide with gas chambers and crematoria. Birkenau was also the place where women’s camp was located. It definitely is a must-see place in Poland, but also in Europe altogether.

- Kath_Cra0 contributionsVery informative and well organised day tourExcellent guide, very informative tour, we were picked up and dropped at our hotel , perfect timing, would thorough recommend this day tourWritten September 10, 2024
- BoleynMom0 contributionsA remarkable journeyFirst of all I need to give a shout out to our driver. I had my wallet stolen at Auschwitz-Birkenau. The thieves spent $5K in the 30 minutes before I noticed. Our driver looked everywhere, filed a police report and got my phone number so he could update me. Outstanding service! Where to start…we were picked up at our hotel at 6:15 by Mr. Shuttle. We picked up others along the way. Our driver took very good care of us. Our tour guide at Auschwitz-Birkenau was okay. She was very informative. We did feel rushed though. The horrors of the Nazis were well presented. The salt mine was outstanding if not long. It’s beautiful down there. There are 7 levels, tourists go to 3. There are salt sculptures and 40 chapels. And you can lick the walls if you want to lol.Written September 9, 2024

- william m0 contributionsBadThe operator didn’t even turn up to pick us up, never use Mr.Shuttle again, please avoid, totally unproffesional, terrible service.Written September 6, 2024
- Katey4000 contributionsGood day but could have been better.Overall a good day. I was texted and emailed the night before about our pick up time. The driver was prompt. Guide at Auschwitz-Berkenau was very informative. Using the headsets was great to hear everything she said. It was a very hot day so was good to do the Auschwitz visit first then the Salt Mines in the afternoon. Lunch provided was fresh and generous. The Salt mines were amazing and again the guide was very good. Didn't feel rushed at any point. Plenty of comfort break opportunities. The only reason I have not given this day a 5 rating is that the driver, Mark, used his mobile phone in his hand very frequently on the journey to Auschwitz. I spoke to him about this on arrival and requested that he did not use his mobile while driving and should use a hands free option. When asked if it was illegal to use your mobile while driving in Poland, he indicated it was but the police did not really enforce it and he saw no problem at what he was doing. On our return journey to the mines he did connect up and use the hands free option, but on return to Krakow he did not and used his phone in his hand several times while driving. For a company such as Mr Shuttle offering this sort of day trip, I would expect the drivers to respect the law of the road and consider the safety of their passengers more than Mark did!Written September 6, 2024
- Sara M0 contributionsThoroughly enjoyable and humbling.Very well organised, very comfortable, transport driver and tour guide wonderful. The guide was Extremely knowledgeable and insightful. Lunch was included and was also very nice. On the whole a brilliant day if not humbling in the concentration camps. The Salt mine was incredible. On the whole excellent value and thoroughly enjoyable.Written September 3, 2024
- egaristo0 contributionsIs this the right tour for you?A worthwhile day trip visiting places of significance around Krakow. The transport was clean, comfortable and on time. The guides on site were informative. The lunch was very average. Not enough pre information provided and we blindly booked the day trip- you must be physically fit as a lot of walking and stairs and if you are claustrophobic the salt mines are not for you! We were not prepared by the information provided that the salt mine tour was over 2 hrs deep underground- I had to leave after first 300 stairs down but my husband stayed and said it was amazing down there! More information provided by Trip Advisor would have seen us book just the trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau, an unmissable experienceWritten September 3, 2024
- mikehV6891DI0 contributionsGreat experience, definitely recommendVery well organised, punctual coach, friendly and knowledgable tour guide on the coach who handed us over to guides at both locations who walked and talked around both locations. The food that was provided for us at lunch was nice, normally a picky eater but was happy with the chicken pasta and meat sandwich in a bread bun. Would definitely recommend booking with Mr. Shuttle tours. Only tip, don’t sit on the rear of the coach, the air flow was poor and it was very hot!Written August 31, 2024
- cathim20100 contributionsA worthwhile experienceIt is grim, of course. But the tour of Auschwitz was moving and done with dignity. Our guide was excellent. Viewing the remarkable statues in the salt mine ended the day on a beautiful note.Written August 30, 2024

Specilal mention to our driver & guide to Auschwtz- Birkenau as his detailed stories help us to feel the fall of the human being!

- I5066HBjackief0 contributionsExcellentWell organised trip. We were picked up outside our hotel at 6.25 am. Nice new mini coach with good air conditioning. We didn’t get a documentary to watch however as advertised. Our driver gave us clear instructions thoughout the day. We stopped for lunch. Lunch was huge, a pasta meal, ham salad roll, biscuit and a bottle of water. You could buy coffee, ice cream etc if required. A very informative trip. After very long day we were dropped back with a 7 minute walk to our hotel. We had to use Google map to find it. We found this a bit cheeky as we agreed to be dropped on the corner of our road. The trip cost us around £170! Hence the 4 star rating for a really good trip.Written August 25, 2024

6.30am minivan pick up from Krakow hotel. Driver was smartly dressed and well spoken. Booked just the specific Auschwitz-Birkenau tour. Disappointed to have no documentary shown on route as mentioned on the Mr. Shuttle website. Mentioned to driver who was mystified when asked about the documentary. Instead we had pop music radio on, which I thought was inappropriate for this trip. I had to ask the driver if could kindly turn the radio off as we approached Auschwitz, which he kindly obliged. Our guide for the day was good and could not fault, but as many reviews mention of large group tours which we were part of, are a bit rushed along. Having watched further film of sites on my return, there is so many parts we did not see on our guided tour, especially at Birkenau. Rest of our group had paid to stay on for the afternoon Salt mine tour on the same day, so this seems why you just get a rushed early start for about roughly four hours at Auschwitz-Birkenau only. Trip could have been better if had that bit of a slower pace to take it all in.

Dear, thank you very much for your review. The tour inside Auschwitz-Birkenau Capm takes 3,5-4 hours, and it is a standard tour offered by the Museum. All guides are the official educators from the Memorial Museum. We do not have any influence on the tour's duration. If you need more time in the Camps, next we advise you to book the study tour which takes 6 hours and you can see more places. The second part of our tour, which is the Salt Mine, does not have any influence on the duration, all tours have the same length. Kind regards, Zuzanna Platek MrShuttle

We booked the tour with Mr Shuttle and I would definitely recommend. Picked up at our hotel at the time they said, no issues. All tickets sorted and tour guide arranged. Picked up at 7am and back at the hotel for 2:30pm. Drivers Tomas and Martin.
The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. Didn’t catch her name, but lady with short blonde hair. Definitely dress for cold weather as with early starts the temperature in February was around 2 degrees. Covid precautions are in place at Auschwitz and you must remember ID.

Difficult place to see but a must if visiting Krakow. Guide for the camp was extremely disappointing. Very rushed, lacking consideration for elderly or disabled. Feel more time was needed and know she skipped certain areas from seeing and hearing details of visits by others

We used Mr Shuttle for both journeys to and from Krakow airport and also for a private excursion, The Auschwitz & Birkenau Tour.
All 3 trips with them were fantastic.
We were greeted at the airport ( we had been delayed getting through passport control but they rang and checked we were at the airport and still required the transfer )
Our excursion was so well organised , we had arranged a private tour and our driver made sure we were where we needed to be at different points throughout the day.
We had to change our return time to the airport and again this was easily organised.
All the vehicles used were clean , comfortable and spacious.
Pre departure for our trip I wanted to ask some questions and liked the fact I could communicate in many ways, the replies were always prompt.
Every member of staff we interacted with , right from the booking stage to return journey to the airport , were professional, efficient and very very friendly.
I would 100% recommend and use again for airport transfers and any excursions whilst in the Krakow area.

Absolutely never write reviews but feel I should this time. Mr Shuttle proved to be an exceptionally good choice, everything from the airport transfers to the tour were done to the highest level. Topped off with very friendly and helpful drivers and a great level of punctuality which made our trip so much more stress free, especially when dealing with a group of 12 of us.
Very highly recommend this company

She was very informative told us amazing stories and honestly I don’t think we would of had the same experience if it wasn’t for her. She was outstanding.

I booked with Mr Shuttle back in 2022 for a Krakow trip which was cancelled, but they allowed us to roll over the booking for this year. Easy communication, and prompt pick up on the day of our tour. The driver was very friendly and spoke good English, he explained how the day would work and so on. We met with a larger group when we arrived at Auschwitz, and were provided with lanyards and an English speaking guide who was absolutely fantastic on what was a very interesting and humbling tour of the camps. I would 100% recommended using this service again should the need arise.

Very bad! I found out myself late in the afternoon the day before the planned tour that my tour was cancelled. Thank God I contacted them, I wondered when they would contact me to inform me that the tour was cancelled. It took a week to get the money back, I had to chase them, I asked them for the proof of payment which never arrived and they never replied to my last email. Unfriendly manners throughout the whole mess.

So pleased we booked with Mr Shuttle, so many tours are cancelled by other companies at the last minute we decided to go with this company because of their reputation for being reliable and that they certainly were. Updates on pick up time and advice on what to wear and bring were very helpful but above all of that the trip itself was amazing. You will not be disappointed if you pick them

Hi Jen , not sure where you’re hotel is we were staying just off the main square and were picked up at Hard Rock Cafe other side of sq a 5 min walk at 6.30, ( however some were picked up at hotel) we pre booked through Krakow shuttle tours a week before we left and tbh were brilliant and they either rang or text details the day before, wish we’d known they also do airport transfers as it is a 20 minute journey we booked them on our return flight and were cheaper than the airport taxi, it’s a well worthy day out I think everyone should visit To appreciate what those poor people went through, we also booked salt mines with Krakow shuttle tours, if you like steak etc visit Sioux on main square 😊
