          This was an excellently organised and delivered tour and a very moving experience.
          Excellent organisation from both the driver and the tour guide. The driver was bang on time and very helpful whilst the tone and content of the tour from the guide were spot on. I don’t think we could have found a better guide.

          Definitely recommend!
          Me and my boyfriend booked this trip when we visited Poland. Very well organised, we were collected from our hotel at the stated time and taken to Auschwitz where we met with our amazing tour guide. The tour was very well planned and transport was quick and efficient. Would recommend to anyone.

          Guilded tour
          Very good tour. I opted for the Guilded tour in which I was given an English speaking guild to which we recieved a headset each so we could all hear clearly.

          Well-organised and worth-while!
          We booked as a couple from the UK. We booked the Auschwitz-Birkenau tour that included lunch and transport to and from our apartment. The driver was Bartek who was very helpful throughout the day and made sure things ran smoothly from being picked up early in morning to being dropped off later in day. We got a text the day before saying we would get picked up at 7am so gave us a good amount of time to plan accordingly. The actual tour guide of Auschwitz was also in our small minibus who was very knowledgeable throughout the day. It is a tour you must do and we should never forget what happened in them awful times. Thankyou

          Auschwitz birkaneau and salt mine tour.
          We had such great day very well organised well looked after, tour guide was amazing how he remembers all that information is incredible. Our driver Sebastian what a really lovely guy gave us lots of useful information he was on time great communication by WhatsApp safe driver. The only thing we would say is we needed more time to reflect and wander a little but we needed to fit all in on one day so this was our choice to do it this way. The tour and company were fantastic. Thanks for a great trip hope to come back soon.

          Auschwitz-Birkenau Trip.
          Good communication from booking to being picked up. Easy to book on the website. Driver - Slawek - was courteous and polite throughout. Was knowledgeable and guided us through the entrance and security part of the tour. Provided lunch (at a small additional cost) and picked us up promptly to go back to hotel. Highly recommend this company. Finally, his recommendation for a restaurant for our evening meal proved to be perfect too.

          Great experience to understand the present from the past. I recommend you dress warm in the winter, most of the tour is mainly outside, forme it was quite cold. On time service & smooth tour!

          Great tour with this company!
          Great tour. We were picked up from our hotel on the time given by our driver Sławek. He was very friendly and helpful. We were taken to Auschwitz, and our tickets were given to us so we didn’t have to queue for hours like make others had. We only had to queue for security checks as we all do. After our tour, Sławek picked us up to take us to the second camp. He pointed us in the right direction on who to follow and where to go. I would recommend this tour with this company. Great service!!

          Well worth a visit would recommend
          The driver was on-time and friendly throughout the day. The tour guide was very descriptive and sincere in his presentation. Was definitely worth pre booking through this company as on arrival the queue was horrendous. Also I had heard a few bad reviews of tours picking people up at 4am so was feeling apprehensive but our tour did not change the time and we were picked up at 7am as agreed.

        Couldn't have asked for a better tour.

        We were given 24 hours notice via email and whatsapp as to what time Daniel would be picking us up at and he was fantastically on time and chatty (which was perfect given how early it was on a Sunday!). We were offered to have packed lunches prepped but because my partner is fussy we bought pack-ups the day before from a corner shop.

        We were in a small VW people carrier that comfortably held 8 passengers and the driver so we could meet up with the rest of our tour at all the different locations but always returning to the same vehicle to ensure no one got left behind. We were able to leave coats and bag in the van. Nothing felt rushed, we were able to explore at our own pace.

        The tours were well planned and very informative. Having the sombre Auschwitz-Birkenau tour first was well thought-out because it gave you the chance to feel the gravity of the atrocities that happened there. I had been before but did really get to feel what happened there. For Auschwitz we were given head phones so there was no guides shouting over each other. At Birkenau there was no need for headset, due to the space and quietness the guides were able to spread out and just talk to you.

        The only issue we had was another tour guide at Auschwitz trying to wrangle her tour of teens and cuts ours in half so we had to track down our guide but that's not our guides fault, just the impatient guide in the pink hat and scarf.

        Doing the Salt Mines after was perfect, it some horrible way it lightened the mood perfectly.

        All in all, would highly recommend.

        Very well organised. Communicated well by text and email. Pick up was on time. Guide (Mario) was excellent, coach was good, transfer from Salt Mines to Auschwitz went smoothly, them Mario came into his own with a respectful but passionate commentary around Auschwitz and the Death camps. Arrived back at Krakow where we were picked up.

        This was a well organised tour, our driver was bang on time, jovial and friendly. There were 4 of us and he organised a lunch bag which was well worth the money and a lot cheaper than the food places at Auschwitz and Salt Mines. Day started at Aushwitz then on to Birkenau. The local guides there were very informative and conveyed exactly what went on at these horrific places. Shame a few people have to get their picture for the “gram” and posing like they are Poland’s next top model.
        The second part of the trip was the salt mines which were simply breath taking and the local guide there was really good with a very dry sense of humour. I would thoroughly recommend doing this tour.

        The day overall was enjoyable and extremely well organised. The Auschwitz guide was knowledgeable but delivered the tour as if it was a race and a chore. It felt unemotional and an anti-climax and I struggled to connect with the devasting and traumatic events that took place there. I was a little disabled by a knee injury but the guide wasn't able to pause even one minute for me to catch up with the group which left me feeling embarrassed and a hindrance. The Salt Mines were a revelation. The tour guide was excellent, fun and interactive. The 800 steps and vast area we covered were not a struggle. It was a great end to an exhausting, full day.

        Dear Julian This review should be posted on Auschwitz museum profile (panstwowe muzeum auschwitz birkenau oswiecim) as they provide the service inside the camps. We provide only transportation for you and we do all the best for our customers. Please understand that we do not have any influence on groups inside the camps. Auschwitz Birkenau Museum is a state owned institution, and in fact due to millions of tourists each year visiting the camps, they have sometimes problems with proper organization. We send your complains there, but no answer usually. I am really sorry for that, but that is the problem of over-visited places sometimes. We would love to change it somehow but it is out of our control. Also please note, that all the tour companies providing 'tours' to Auschwitz have exactly the same problem. I would like to inform you that you chose Shared Transport and group tour options with full 3 hours and 30 minutes tour, which results in adapting to the rules that prevail in this type of trip. Our offer also includes the possibility of booking a private guide provide by museum only for you for the whole day. Regards Konrad

        A great tour. Very well organised. Contacted the previous day and asked whether we wanted a packed lunch, pick up from our hotel by a very friendly, helpful driver who arrived spot on time. He was knowledgeable and happy to chat. Pick up points/times were clear at the different stages of the day.
        The tour of the camps was very well organised and the guide was excellent. Very thorough.
        The salt mines your is very good. The whole family enjoyed the day.

        Our driver Daniel was very knowledgeable and professional. Communication was great before and on the day. A very good and safe driver. The tours were absolutely fabulous and informative. I would highly recommend doing both in one day as it was quite uplifting visiting the Saltmines in the afternoon. Daniel got the timings during the day spot on for us. Pick up at 7.20am and drop off about 6pm. You do alot of steps during the day so it was nice to get back to Krakow to relax in the evening. I would highly recommend the tour and guide.

        We did the Auschwitz Birkenau and Salt Mine Tour all in one day and although this is a long day it is well worth it and very reasonably priced. Our driver was Marco who had also collected us from the airport previously, was always polite, helpful and very informative. Marco picked us up from our accommodation promptly at the agreed time and drove us to Auschwitz where we joined an English speaking tour. After the tour we were driven onto Birkenau where we re-joined the tour with the same tour guide. In the afternoon we went onto the Salt Mines. I can not fault this very professional company and would highly recommend them. We were so happy with their service that we then booked our return transfer to the airport. Thank you for making our trip to Kraków so memorable.

        I loved what was included in this trip. The communication for the pick up was effective and it was beneficial having all the transport included. I would recommend choosing to have a packed lunch offered. There is a cafe in the salt mines but you would be here quite late in the day! Everything was well organised and I have recommended this trip to others.

        The all day tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau and the Salt mine was very organized and educational. The communication from our driver, Daniel, in advance of the tour was very good and appreciated. We were picked up at our hotel at the time specified and we preordered a box lunch which was very helpful. The tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau was very educational and the guide did a great job of sharing the difficult subject in a compassionate yet factual manner. The Salt Mine tour was very interesting and allowed plenty of time for pictures throughout the mine. Would highly recommend this tour.

        Well organised tour. Daniel picked us up on time and was very friendly and informative about how the day would run. Eva , our guide at Auschwitz, was great . Very passionate and knowledgeable and always open to answering of any questions. Salt mines are amazing and again our guide was full of information about the history and always welling to talk. We had the lunch through them too which was good value . Would highly recommend this tour
