We booked a day trip to visit Auschwitz and the Wieliczka mines. They picked us up very punctually at our hotel in Warsaw. The organization was very good, with some last minute changes but they were resolved quickly. Highlight the professionalism and kindness of our driver Wiktor, who even helped us find a restaurant for the end of the year.

Everything went very well since the time of booking till the end of our horse-cab ride and overall we really had a great time!
The booking and customer service experience went really smooth. The drivers were very friendly and flexible. The horse was beautiful and in a great shape. And the cab really had the atmosphere and it was very comfortable!

I attended a day trip with AB Poland on the 21st of June which included kayaking on the Wkra river. Despite the bad weather in the afternoon I had a great time there thanks to the efficient organization and attractions provided by AB Poland. Highly recommended!

Kevin was on time and waiting for us in the lobby. Really friendly and full of enthusiasm. His driving was great and gave me confidence. Waited for us at every point and made sure that we were met by the guide safely. I couldn’t fault him.

Set in beautiful woodland, the Treblinka Museum and Extermination Camp are a sobering reminder of recent history. The museum is free and the nearby stone tributes around the death camp site are a suitable and appropriate tribute to the horrors that occurred there.
The site is peaceful and respectful, and provides a gentle recreation of some of the experiences there. A sobering experience, but very touching and worthwhile.
Our tour guide Jacek Jaron was very knowledgeable and a pleasant, friendly companion throughout the tour. He was booked via AB Poland tours.

Treblinka was the most 'efficient' of the extermination camps in Poland, killing more than 800,000 Jewish people in a year, before an uprising forced its closure and destruction by the retreating Germans. It is just 90 minutes from Warsaw, at the end of a side road off the main highway and unlike Auschwitz-Birkenau it is left in its raw state.
Unlike the Auschwitz complex which is massive, this is a tiny place, but then unlike Auschwitz there was never an intention to work people to death; they were gassed on arrival; up to 17,000 people a day.
There's a small museum but the place is easy to explore on foot. Take your own drinks and any snacks as there's little else here. The central area is dominated by a massive monument, and surrounded by rocks which recall each of the thousands of Jewish communities uprooted and shipped here for extermination. This is not a place for the faint-hearted; I held it all together until I saw the memorial and the burial pits and then the tears simply would not stop. A mark of man's inhumanity to man.

I've been to Auschwitz on a few occassions now but it didn't move me as much as this place did. The fact that it was totally destroyed by the Nazi made it more moving. The day we went you could have counted the number of visitors on your hand, not like Auschwitz where there was hoards of people. Here we had time to stroll pass the masses of rocks which represent the countries and towns where the victims came from. Our guide was superb and very knowledgeable and even took us to the other camp which was for the labour force. A truly sombering experience. Not easy to get to as an independent traveller so would suggest booking a tour from Warsaw.

This tour company is terrible and should be avoided at all costs.
First, let's start with the price. I paid $430 USD for this tour, which is more than quadruple the average $93 price that is listed on TripAdvisor. Because I signed up for a standard car that seats 1-3 people, I assumed this might mean it would be a private car. Instead, I was in a van with 6 other guests, packed like sardines, and uncomfortably sitting in the middle and the back.
When I made this reservation on TripAdvisor, it said the day would start at 6:30am. The night before, I received an email saying it would instead start at 10am. I was picked up at 10am, we arrived for lunch at 3:45pm (almost 6 hour drive) were rushed into eating our lunch in 10 minutes. We then went to the first museum where we waited for the guide for 20 minutes. Then we toured the first museum for 1 hour and 20 minutes (I timed), then went to the other museum for about an hour. After factoring in time to transfer between sites, we left to return at 7pm and got back at about midnight (5 hour return). So, in total, we were about 11 hours driving and less than 2.5 hours in the museum. I was not able to eat dinner. I do not think that anyone expects this when making the booking.
We were herded through the museum like cattle. I have relatives who died in the Holocaust, and I hoped for this to be a place for quiet introspection. Not at all, it was a chaotic race to get out of there as fast as possible. The guide spoke so fast that she barely even stopped for questions.
During the very long van ride I emailed the company to express how disappointed I was. To placate me, they promised a partial refund. But two weeks later, I have no refund and after the day of the trip, they stopped responding to me.

Dear Ryan,
As we believe there is always room for improvement, we appreciate your opinion.
Let us refer to the points you mentioned.
In terms of transportation, you had 2 options to choose from at the moment of booking: group transportation and private transportation (at extra charge). As you chose the group option, other participants could join you in the minibus.
As we want all the tour details to be clear and visible to our customers, the tour description on Trip Advisor includes the following information:
"It is the tour by car, maximum 8 participants in the group. Standard car for this tour is sedan (saloon) compact car or Opel Vivaro depending on the final group size."
"Please mind that the tour is not private. For private transportation (extra paid) please contact us".
In terms of pick-up time, the tour description says the pick up can be between 6AM and 10AM and that we send the exact pick up time one day before the tour.
Journey to Auschwitz takes around 4,5 hours including breaks. We try to provide the most convenient means of transportation for our customers, such as Opel Vivaro, Mercedes Vito (extra paid) or Mercedes V-class (extra paid).
Furthermore, we always assure our guests have at least 45 minutes for lunch. Perhaps there was some serious traffic on the day of your tour, which is out of our control. However, our driver confirmed all the tourists were provided lunch on that day.
As for Auschwitz Museum, it is one of the busiest places of memorial in Poland. Crowds are unavoidable in high season and we have no control over it. What is more, Auschwitz Museum only allows their own licensed, on-site guides inside. The groups in Auschwitz Museum have a very fixed limited time inside and the guides simply want the tourists to see as much as possible.
We indeed received several messages from you on the day of the tour. We responded right away, offering a way of solution, but we received no reply.
If you visit Poland again and decide to trust us again, please contact us for a special promocode.
Warm regards.
