    You cannot visit Krakow without visiting the salt mines.
    An absolutely fabulous tour of the salt mines. The guide was fantastic and (being a former miner in the salt mines) was able to tell us the history, complexities of working in the mines and those who carved the amazing structures. The underground church is the most amazing piece of detailed architecture - a must place to visit

    Steps. Salt. Statues.
    I'd book direct (£20 per person) and get a taxi. Your ticket includes a tour & it means you can hang around and have good, coffee and look at the gift shop (and stalls outside afterwards) Your guide great, wouldn't recommend if you struggle with steps. There's LOTS!!! Would definitely go back with the kids. Beautiful place .

    400 steps down so beware, we were not informed before going. Guide was pleasant but started to talk before all the group had reached him so quiet a bit information was missed

    Dreadfull
    I found this very dull, and wanted to leave, but you can't. There was a huge que to get the lift out, which was a metal box where they squeeze in too many people so you are crushed against strangers. It was scary and not in a fun way! The history was boring, its a salt mine where nothing intresting happened and has been used as a tourist attraction for a long time. There was a few rooms which were impressive but not worth wasting 3 to 4 hours to see these. If you go on a busier day, I think it would have been a nightmare. I have been to several mines and carrvans which I enjoyed, but this is not done well.

    This was so much more that I expected, if you visit Krakow don't miss this. The tour guide was very good. Be aware that in lockdown the restaurant is very limited - no surprise.

    Well worth a visit
    The salt mines are definitely worth a visit if you're in Krakow. The mines are very interesting, accessible to tourists and made very interesting thanks to the guides. A part of the history of this fantastic region of Poland!

We got picked up from the hotel down the road, our driver was really nice. We went to Auschwitz and we had a tour guide who was very informative, even though it was busy we didn’t feel like we were rushed. We then went to Birkenau with our tour guide and again, didn’t feel rushed. Afterwards we were taken to the salt mine and were able to get a bite to eat. I advise you to take snakes and water on the trip but you can also buy them at every stop. We were out from 9am-7pm and it was such an eye opening trip. 100% recommend

Full day trip, started by hotel collection at 8.15am sharp, as planned, in a comfortable bus. Drove an hour and 20 mins to Auschwitz, met tour guide Maria (was brought by our guide on bus to our tour guide) was given a well informed, very respectful tour, quick toilet break (get early tour was very busy when we were leaving compared to when we arrived at Auschwitz) and on to Birkenau (5 mins drive away) and was brought by our guide on bus to Maria (tour guide) who again gave us a very informed, heart felt tour of Birkenau (brisk walking tour, definitely quite a lot of walking on this tour all day long). An hour and 20 mins drive (we were told several times that the travel time was traffic depending) after a quick break again after Birkenau tour on to the Salt Mines. At this stage we were feeling tired but it was time for food and this break definitely helped. Salt mines were amazing... we were tired and it was decided we needed to do a 15 min walk to the middle of the mine for the “quick lift”, we were very tired at this time, I think people should be offered to wait for the nearby lift or agree to the walk, (I’m fit but still felt tired from so much walking) but the mines were amazing. Dropped into city centre at our request and bus guide was only too happy to help, rather than go back directly to our hotel, and again had amazing food. Great trip overall, but be very prepared to walk lots!

Amazing day.
Collected from our hotel - one that was listed but I requested a pick up. Collected on time, our driver was lovely. There was 6 of us in our transport. We could chat on the way between stops. Much better than a coach. We were taken to Auschwitz where our driver made sure we were taken to the correct guide. Whilst it was busy, we didn’t feel rushed, our driver was waiting to transport us to Birkenau and we rendezvoused with the same guide. After we finished we made our way back to our driver who delivered us to the Saltmines. We were give advice by our driver about what we could take in, we eft backpacks inside the vehicle so we didn’t have to worry.
It was a long day, harrowing in parts, definitely emotional.
I would highly recommend this tour. 5 stars .

The salt mine was surprisingly the best part of the day! A beautiful place with a lot of interesting facts and history. Our tour guide Matthew was incredibly funny and made the tour very engaging, a true credit to the business and very proud of his father and grandfather who worked in the mine.

Auschwitz-Birkenau was an experience worth doing. A lot of history and walking however more information about the experiments and time to let it all sink in was needed in my opinion. Very informative and after studying this in History at school incredible to see.

On this tour you also see the beautiful scenery of Poland and the drivers were very friendly and chatty

The whole trip was really well organised and Conrad (our driver) was really helpful and friendly. He was perfectly on time and the day before we were offered a well priced lunch package as well (though we'd already prepped our own lunch, which we left in the van during the Auschwitz tour).
The only downside during the tour itself is that the headsets become a bit crackly and cuts out if you're too far from the guide, but the guide was also really helpful so you could easily ask them to fill in anything you missed.
The salt mines tour was really cool, and though it's definitely worth doing both tours together as Auschwitz-Birkenau is really heavy, it is a long day and gets quite exhausting by the end, so come prepared for that.

All in all it was a fantastic day out and the tour couldn't have been organised better

We booked this a few months in advance. We knew we wanted to do both so finding a company that combined both into one day was great.

We had Daniel as our driver and we were picked up promptly. Daniel was friendly and knowledgeable.

Auschwitz-Birkenau was sad but interesting, a must do. The salt mines were breathtaking. Our tour guides for both of these were amazing.

We opted to pay for an included packed lunch for 50zloty each. Well worth the money for a jam and cheese salad baguette, banana, apple, croissant, chocolate bar, carton of apple juice and a bottle of water.

I’d recommend comfortable shoes as it involves a lot of walking and going down into the salt mines is 800 steps down stairs.

Overall, a long day but I’d recommended going with this company to book your trip.

Igor was brilliant, he got us round all of the destinations with plenty of time and was very organised. He supplied us with all of the relevant tickets at each destination and even provided umbrellas to us when it was raining in the morning. Both sets of guides also provided a clear and informative tour, I would highly recommend.

Driver was on time and helpful with any questions we had. Very well organised and the tour itself was very informative. If planning to visit Auchwitz I would recommend booking this as it’s very detailed and saves you the hassle of organising everything yourself.

Highly recommend this tour. From start to finish everything was so well organised. Daniel our driver was great at communicating before and during the trip. The guides at each tour were very knowledgeable and informative. We did not find it hard doing both trips in one day, would recommend everyone does this! Lunch box can be provided for a small fee, which is great for ease.

Everyone should book this!!
