I was looking for a day trip from Warsaw to Kraków and Auschwitz. The prices for two people were quite expensive. While reading Trip Advisor reviews I came across mention of someone using AB Travel Poland and how they actually contacted them thru the Visitors Information office in Warsaw and were able to be added to another group which brought the price down. I contacted the Information office who put me in touch with AB Travel. I was able to book our trip while we were still in Vienna and confirm everything. They were very responsive by email, allowed me to make a deposit via internet and complete the transaction with cash at pickup. Peter our driver was efficient, very pleasant and personable and kept the long day schedule running in a timely manner. I was very pleased and relieved to join another group as it made our price almost half of what it would have been for just the two of us. It was also fun getting to know the other passengers. I would recommend AB Travel!

As with all the Nazi Extermination Camps there are no words that can describe this place. The Nazi's destroyed this place so there is really are no buildings to view. We were there for 4 full hours and there is a lot of walking outside.There is a small museum that will take you about a half hour to go through. There is about 1.25 mile walk from Treblinka I to Treblinka II and that walk will give you a sense of what a long death walk is. It was quiet, cold, windy no animals no other persons around. Treblinka is about 67 miles outside of Warsaw and it will take you about 2 hours by car to get there. The reason for this is that there is non stop road construction the entire way which causes several delays. Also there are NO road signs along the way to mark the way to Treblinka so you will have to use GPS to get there. The 2 hours drive and being stuck in the stop and go traffic was well worth it in order to pay our respects to Treblinka.

I have no words to describe the brutal premeditated cruel sadistic atrocities that occurred here. The Nazis destroyed the entire place- to erase the memory of their crimes against the Jewish people. All that's here now is symbolic train tracks, symbolic monuments, markers of the death apparatus that was in place here and huge rock bolders representing 1700 Jewish communities whose members perished in this horrible places.
This is a necessary and somber place to visit, and reflect on man's monstrous actions against others.

This was the second time I visited the site, and both times, I did it with a guided tour. The site would be a bit difficult to find on one's own- it is two hours by car.
There is nothing original to see – nothing.
One needs a guide – either a person or a detailed book – to understand and appreciate the place, and to learn what happened there. The memorial is solemn and somber and meaningful, and needs to be explained in the proper way.
There are at least 1000 stone markers, each one with the name of a destroyed Jewish community. This commemorates the murdered Jews who were taken from their homes and killed at this second largest site of mass murder in the history of mankind.

This tour absolutely made my trip to Poland. We were picked up and dropped back to the door of our hotel in Warsaw. The driver was really friendly and didnt mind us charging our phones in the van. Four of us went on the tour which was €135 and not once did i have to spend any money for the whole day, the van was comfortable enough for us all to have a nap on the way. The driver stopped at the shop for us in the morning and on the way back. We went to Auschwitz first, there was no waiting around at all. We then went from there to the second camp.. stopped for lunch at a really nice restaurant where one of us was provided a fully vegan meal! We then drove to Krakow and we're met by a really nice tour guide who walked us around the city. The walking tour was really informative and the tour guide was so friendly and knew so much about the history of krakow. Amazing experience.

This was my favorite day in Poland. Our driver met us right at our hotel, and it was a relaxing drive to the Bialowieza National Park. We first stopped at the reserve to see the animals native to the forest which was really fun and interesting. We were then driven to meet our guide for a hike in the forest. He was fantastic and we learned so much about the plants and animals there. When we returned to the car we were taken to see the czars restaurant and hunting lodge. We then went to a charming restaurant for a delicious lunch. After this we were driven back to Warsaw and let off at our hotel. It was great to get out of the city and be in nature for a day. I highly recommend this tour

We have mixed feelings about this tour. Here are the positives :
+driver was really punctual and very friendly- so were the tour guides
+it's great that everything was pre-arranged for and the tour ran smoothly
+no queues and long waiting times
Now to the negative:
-everything felt very rushed. The guided tour at Auschwitz museum: Literally no time for reading any information in the exhibition. Guide provided us with only basic information that you could read on the captions of the photos anyway. We always had to drag along with the much larger group that we joined at the museum.
-same situation at Krakaw. Felt rushed and we had zero free time for even a coffee or dinner. It would be much better to arrive one hour later at Warsaw (after 11pm not much is open anyway) and have some free time in Krakaw. Bad decision.
-Lunch was really disappointing. We were thrown at a kanteen (not really a restaurant) and we're served what I can only describe as instant noodle soup with cheep quality chicken. Not even drinks were included. Really cheap way to treat your customers that paid almost £200 per person!
-To make things even worse, we were not given any free time for a beverage in Krakaw and on the way back our driver was really rushing. We had a very brief stop at a gas station where the only choice for a so-called-dinner was hot dogs.
-To AB Travel: our feedback is to reconsider the basics of a tour. Decent lunch (for the price it should definitely be way better) and more breaks or time for a proper dinner and later return to Warsaw. These would have made a much better and enjoyable tour.

After reading another review about a person travelling solo, I decided to contact AB Poland and dealt with Karina and Marta. I advised that I only had only 1 date that I could do the tour. At the time there was nothing available so I'd resigned myself to the fact that I wouldn't get to do the tour. Fortunately Marta contacted me the day before the date that I was available, to advise that they had another booking for the following day and was I interested. Yes - you bet I was!
I was picked up the next morning and did the tour with 3 other people who were from Finland.
The guide we had in Krakow - Mateusz, was awesome, engaging and very knowledgeable. We were then picked up again by the driver.
The driver that we had for the day was also Mateusz, we had fog for most of the journey to Auschwitz, and came back in the dark - his driving was brilliant. All of us felt incredibly safe in his hands.
Both of the tours are well worth doing, with incredibly guides at Auschwitz.
Highly recommend dealing with AB Poland, the coordination of the pickups, tours, dropoffs was perfect.

First of all I was grateful for the company's efforts to get me on the tour as I arranged it very last minute and I was only free the next day. The driver Mateusz picked me up on time and was on hand throughout the day. He knew exactly where and when to meet us. The tour itself in Auschwitz is really worth it. It is very sobering, very sad and very informative. A must do if you are in Poland. Afterwards we had a traditional Polish lunch which was included and very nice. From there we drove to Krakow and met our tour guide who was waiting for us. It's a beautiful place with an interesting past. Then it was back to Warsaw. It's a long day but so worth it and there is a stop on the way there and back to get a coffee, food etc. Thank you.

I Stood in Gdynia which is about 30 minutes away by train. So decided to hop on one and travel south. Stopping at Gdansk was a stop well worth it. Walking around and seeing many old buildings, shops and eateries, there was always something to do. Long Street had many restaurants to choose from. Gdsank is a must stop by city!

Hello,
it's non-smoking, but you can smoke during the stops.
Auschwitz is a non smoke area if you are going to do this tour

Hello, We will be staying in Warsaw and our Polish friends told us to visit the Museum of the Mazovian Countryside in Sierpc and Torun. Is it possible to see both in a day tour? Thanks!
