About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 94dazc0 contributionsLovely day out.The tour was very well organised and informative and wasn't rushed. Dominik our driver, picked us up at our hotel at the time advised and was helpful throughout our time with him.Written September 10, 2024
- Rich R0 contributionsDecent operator in a complex set of choicesTo be clear, the museum staff guide you around the camps, what you are booking is just for someone to drive you there and to secure tickets. (It’s possible to do that yourself if you book well in advance online or to queue in person on the day - arranging a car or taking the train.) For this particular tour I arrived and then the guide buys tickets which means you may have to wait for him to get them and then wait again for your time slot - in some cases several hours - we waited an hour which wasn’t too bad. (It seems for some unlucky people they have arrived and there are significant waits or even no tours in their language) What this means is that you may choose an 8am or 9am pickup but they will tell you the real time the day before - anything from 6am to 1pm. This seems to be the same for all the operators unless you take the super expensive private option. The tour I booked cost more as you go in a smaller group (approx 8) and therefore avoid lots of pickups/drop-offs and are more likely to leave your hotel at a more reasonable time (e.g 7.30am instead of 5.30am I was asked to do for a cheaper option.) - I assume the large tours arrive earlier as there are so many more tickets they need to arrange. So overall I think you have to accept that regardless of the operator, the arrangements are highly changeable and inconvenient. The price you pay may help lessen the potential waiting/delays/unsociable start time, but it’s not guaranteed so just be prepared for the worst! I found this operator , ComFort to be decent enough, responsive and provided a good lunch in the short break that you get.Written September 9, 2024

- vonneylass0 contributionsAuschwitz - Birkenau Transportation and Hotel PickupOur trip to Auschwitz- Birkenau was very interesting, thought provoking and sobering experience. Our transportation to and from was enjoyable with our ComFort Tour driver Dominik who picked us up on time outside our hotel. Once everyone was aboard Dominik explained how our day would go and was happy to answer any questions we had for him. Half way through our visit we were provided with a packed lunch which was perfect and just what we needed at that point. At the end of our visit Dominik was waiting in a prominent position so we could see him and return to our mini bus to take us back to our hotel. Thank you Dominik for being a friendly chatty young man.Written August 16, 2024

We were very pleased with our ComFort tour organizer, Daniel Mieso. We were picked up at our hotel exactly on time. The lines at Aushwitz were quite long but thanks to Daniel, we got through the lines and on our tour very promptly. A trip to Aushwitz could be overwhelming, but thanks to Daniel our day went smoothly.Written August 13, 2024

Daniel was an excellent host on the tour bus and very punctual and helpful to and from our visit in the minibus which we shared alongside other tourists. Collection easy from our hotel
The Salt Mine visit was spectacular again with a very good tour guide who was very informative about its history . A thoroughly enjoyable trip which I would recommend.

The best experience for this kind of private driver. Daniel called us a few minutes before picking up at the hotel lounge so we can do not have to wait outside. A comfortable van and a careful driver gave a sensation of safety along all the trip even if the traffic was terrific. Daniel took care of ticketing and solved also a small problem with the guide in the caves. A call after exiting the mines and he was waiting at the pick up point. Fluent English speaker Daniel gave us some information about the places we crossed inside Krakow. Thumbs Up, Daniel. And caves too.

Awful company to use.
Booked with them and wish I hadn’t.
Complete mess up, changed dates due to messing my other tour up. Gentlemen picked me up who was late with a couple in who had also been messed around. We drove around Krakow for nearly an hour inc dropping the couple off and doing some other random things for himself or the company then moaned that we had missed the connecting bus (which I didn’t know about) and that he had to take me and basically dump me with another company. The whole time he was on his phone making phone call after phone call and organising someone else to do a job he was meant to be doing - picking up people from the airport. Other company was fine but then got dropped off in Krakow (I thought I’d be taken back to the hotel). Luckily another couple had a map so I could make my way back.

I am very sorry for any inconvenience to you. We always try to confirm pickup times to all tourists the day before the tour. Of course, we are just slackers and sometimes there may be some mistake on our part. I have read both your reviews and it looks like this. Once again, I apologize to you very much.

Salt line experience was amazing!! Inside was beautiful!! The pick up from comfort tours was great on the way there but we we’re left waiting for quite a bit afterwards for our driver.
Book through the website as it’s cheaper.

Thanks Jake for a great trip. Jake was attentive, friendly, chatty and a safe driver. His level of English is great and he was friendly enough to even drop us at a different location afterwards. The salt mines are a must do when visiting Krakow.
Thanks Jake!

This trip was on the maybe list, I am so pleased that I took this tour. It was booked via my hotel and the tour was great. The driver, Piotr was on time and a good communicator. He even returned my hat that I’d left in the car the day before, thank you.. After the tour, Piotr dropped me at the station and gave a good explanation of how to find the bus to Zakopane.
Thank you for a great tour..Highly recommended

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip and taking in the design and detail of the Salt Mine. Communication from the company was good and responded promptly to my email. Jake, our driver was really good and contacted us to let us know he was close by. The tour finished slightly earlier than anticipated which left some time to go to the bar. Jake contacted us when he arrived, and the whole trip ran smoothly. Great experience, and would use the same company again if I returned to Krakow to visit Auschwitz.
