    We visited Krakow a few days and Bart gave us a lift back to Krakow Airport. He contacted us ahead of pick up and even offered to pick us up earlier if it was convenient; when we said we were ready he was at our hotel within two minutes. We were really impressed by both Bart’s service as well as the car. We’d highly recommend Bart to anyone.

    The end of a fantastic stay and experience
    We had a very good and efficient service, our driver Marcin arrived early at the hotel and was extremely polite and courteous. When we left the hotel at 08.15 PM, I was expecting heavy traffic throughout the Krakow, but Marcin took a route with very little traffic.

    Not as expected !
    Our flight was from Frankfurt to Krakau. The driver was great but the company messed up because they sent a car smaller than I requested. I requested a car for 5-8 people even though there were only 4 of us. We had more luggage because we are also going to go to Norway All the way to Tromso and needed heavy coats and boots etc They sent a sedan ! The driver was very nice and called them and we got an additional taxi paid by them. But wasted some time due to that. We had a guided tour of the Oscar Shindler enamel factory and we missed it.

Nov 2021 • Friends
Auschwitz is one of the most important locations in the history of mankind and is essential experience for everybody who visits Krakow.
Thus, we hurried to book a guided tour once we got to Krakow, choosing Gr8Way to arrange it. The pickup from Krakow was on time, at 12.00 pm, and we got to Auschwitz at around 2 pm. After the visit to the first camp we had a short break and were then driven to the second camp, Birkenau at 4.25 pm. The security guard promptly let us know that the camp was about to close in 5 minutes.
The travel agency claimed to not be aware of the closing hour of the Museum, and that it was the museum's responsibility. As a result, we never got to visit Birkenau, effectively missing half the experience. We kindly requested that we at least be offered one third of our money back (60 of 180 PLN) as a refund, since our experience was severely compromised. The response was that the agency did not care, and they said (verbatim) that they "did a perfect job".
We believe that making us miss one half of the experience of visiting Auschwitz is very far from a perfect job. The agency should have been aware of the Museum's closing hours and dealt with the situation accordingly.
It is a great shame that we will (probably) never be able to be treated to the once in a lifetime experience that is a visit to Auschwitz.
A great shame indeed. Please avoid at all costs!

PS: The tour guide was absolutely exceptional. Her presentation was moving and passionate, and seemed greatly involved and knowledgeable. Whatever she gets paid, she deserves a raise!

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. she supposed to also know how to plan a tour to show guests everything as she is aware of the hours of closing. We suppose she just lost the track of time and that's why you have missed the second camp. However I would like to thank you for all sugestions as they are valuable for us

Had a great time on our trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum. Our driver Karol picked us up on time and came over to make sure we were his party and got into the correct vehicle, he then carried this on during the trip that had 2 stops to both camps. Highly recommend booking and selecting the hotel pick up as it made things so much easier.

We booked this via viatour & a few days before got a message saying what time we would be picked up outside our hotel. On the day we got another message from our fabulous driver Mikolaj saying he would be arriving on time which included his registration number & vehicle make & model for reassurance.
-Mikolaj was very knowledgable and gave great recommendations for where we can eat & drink. He dropped us off at Auschwitz, we did the tour then he drove us to Birkenau (5 mins drive), then after that tour he drove us home. All with a very happy persona and we are so impressed with his fluent English.

Our tour guide herself was named Joanna (I think) and she was great. She knew so much & really gave a great insight on how both camps were. The tour itself takes you into the grounds of Auschwitz first, you go into many blocks where the guide goes into great detail and you can take photos to remember the sombre visit.

Be prepared to be surprised/shocked when entering some rooms. It shows you living conditions of the prisoners and also their belongings (and some hair that was found) that were found after the camp was evacuated. It also shows hundreds of photos of the prisoners & their names/d.o.b/ date of death which is really (obviously) upsetting.

After this you get driven to Birkenau which is called Auschwitz ||. Which is where the majority of the murders took place. Here it shows the mass size of the complex and you can see some gas chambers & the memorial of Auschwitz victims along with lots of others.

Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. It was a very good tour albeit not very nice to be exposed to. However it really gives you an idea on what it was like and how horrendous it must have been for those victims.

I have so many more photos but really feel you need to visit in person to appreciate it,

Booked this trip via our hotel and Marcel our driver came to pick us up very promptly with a handful of other sightseers too. He was very professional & friendly, and spoke perfect English informing us what we needed to know during our trip. Felt super safe with his driving and at no point did we feel rushed during our visit. Even the communications from back office staff Dominika and Ola via WhatsApp was super too.

The tour of Auschwitz & Birkenau was excellent. Our tour guide was very informative and made the history lesson great.

I highly recommend using GR8WAY's services and would use them again!

The tour was made very special by our driver Bart. He was courteous and informative in regard to Krakow and our travel to Auschwitz. We would look to book any tours provided that Bart was our tour guide and we will recommend his tours to everyone we know. He is an engaging young man and a pleasure to be with.

Our driver max szkatula picked us up a few minutes early which is wonderful. Max was a very chatty person and he made conversation. Max asked about our stay in Poland and we chatted about the country we are from. Max drove sensibly and carefully and made us feel safe. We would recommend max to anyone who needs a taxi as even at 4am he was happy to help. Even in England we don’t have a taxi driver as friendly or kind as max and he is a credit to the taxi firm. When we return we will be using max for all journeys.

Used Gr8way to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau and was not disappointed. Our guide was informative and able to answer any questions she was asked. When visiting please be mindful of what this place represents and act accordingly. I witnessed more than one person in other tour groups using selfie-sticks in area's which contain some particularly unpleasant artefacts. This is not exactly a theme park! My only small criticism of this tour is the hurried nature of it, however this is understandable due to the volume of visitors and the size of the two complexes. I would certainly recommend a visit to this place and Gr8way are an excellent choice of tour operator.

Our tour was delayed because there wasn’t a English speaking guide. However a representative for the tour company stepped in at short notice who translated what the Polish museum guide was saying. Matthew was very good and thought this was his normal day job but we later found out he was doing it to help out. His interpretation was extremely good and manner was very professional. Pick up was on time and tour was very informative.

The guide spoke so fast that it took all my concentration to pick out maybe half the words that she said. Because my heart was sickened from what I know. It made the experience even further unpleasant when I couldn't understand what was being said and I wanted so badly to have the information. Tour guide needs to speak slower and give pauses for people to clarify what they aren't understanding. I give the turkey the lowest rating and are tour driver was very great so that's why i'm updating my rating from one star 22star The guide situation with training and appreciation for the pay she is speaking. I am from u s and deal with all kinds of accents so that was not the problem with my this with my being able to understand.
