    Really neat place. Adequate guide. Amazing statuary, carved out of rock salt, at least some of it carved by miners without formal art training.

    This was a well worth trip whilst in krakow. It's approx 2hrs long in the actual mine, but need to reserve a whole afternoon to allow for travelling there and back. It is a lot of walking down stairs to various levels in the mine but the sculptures made from salt are worth seeing. This is not a trip for someone who struggles with steps and walking. The tour guide was informative but if you don't keep up or are at the back of your group you will struggle to hear what is being said. All in all worth while trip.

    It killed an hour in the rain and we learnt some more of Krakow history. However, you do not travel very far up or down the river and mainly just see the castle and the nunnery.

    I purposely chose the gondola cruise rather than the bigger boats, as I thought it looked more relaxing. It was a lovely way to enjoy the river and very peaceful with only 3 passengers on board! The cruise was very pleasant and the audio guide was reasonably interesting.

    You don’t know Krakow until you have done a guided walking tour with Robert. He is an excellent guide who has a great knowledge of the history of Krakow. He can expand on any topic. His genuine love for his city is evident as he speaks from the heart. Robert is also a lovely man. I would highly recommend a guided walking tour of old Krakow with Robert.

    Awesome experience. Easy to book and friendly pick up by Monika.

    Friendly instructors and the opportunity to try some extra guns I really appreciated.
    Monika really went the extra mile with many recommendation for Krakow, really wish I went earlier so I'd had some time to check all those out.

    If you're interested in something like this I really don't think you'll be disappointed, I'd go again in a heartbeat.

    The organisation was really very good. Our driver was very punctual and the assistance was great. Martin, of the assistance, was very kind, he gave us several recommendations on places and restaurants to try and helped us on our return to the hotel. Rarely you’ll find such helpful and kind people. Thank you.

    We booked this food tour on our very first night in Krakow (& it was our 1st ever food tour as well). Everything was well organized & as we progressed to each location, Ania gave us background on both the location and food we were trying. Because we did this our first night, it gave us ideas of what we wanted to eat 'again' as we spent the remainder of our vacation in Krakow.
    We were the only ones in our group (family of 6, w 4 kids). I was a bit nervous booking this tour as my younger kids aren't the most adventerous eaters. But, they all had so much fun; we were so stuffed by the end that we needed to take an extra long walk back. Ania was a lot of fun (she also sent a follow-up email with reminders of what we ate, recipes & tips). We absolutely recommend this tour!

    The most efficient and pleasant way to discover Krakow. Valentino was the perfect tour guide, and provided super interesting comments to help us discover the city beyond the standard commentary. He went out of his way to drop us back off in a different neighborhood squrae so we could try some Polish flat bread !
    Thanks again !

    Absolutely loved this walking tour with Big Tom. Being a storyteller and historian, as well as a thoroughly lovely chap, he was the perfect guide to show us around Krakow’s old town. So much history, amazing architecture, beautiful buildings and cathedrals. I have fallen in love with this place.
    I enjoyed this tour so much, I did another one the following day of the Jewish quarter.
    Unreservedly recommend both!

    The views where very nice as was the boat. Our big complaint is that we couldn't hear half of what was said. They need more speakers especially on the top deck. We also had hoped for more information/history. In English.

Has anyone done both tours before?
Do you think the former is worth doing?

I have done the tour with a guide - so i guess techncially i have gone on the "General tour 3.5h" or something similar, but i am only at Auschwitz 1 for 1.5h, and then we rushed to Auschwitz 2-Birkenau for 1h. i recently went on a organized tour from Krakow bc i couldnt secure guided tour ticket at the last minute from the website. but i think my guide may a person in training (?) cos he was guiding us with an Auschwitz educator standing beside him all the time. I still couldnt figure out whether he is a new guide in training within Auschwitz, or he needs to be chaperoned bc he is a guide hired from the 'outside' (ie not someone hired by the Aushcwitz site). I am inclined to believe it is the latter, but not sure, so would appreciate anyone with better insights. So this means there could be 2 diff guides - one is a tour agency guide from the outside, and another is a Auschwitz educator guide?
Answer: for future readers - I did the 6 hour tour and it is a better pace,smaller group and you visit a few more places in the camps. Our guide was very good. Worthwhile if you have more than a passing interest in the history. We were at Auschwitz for 3 hours and birkenau for 2.25 hours. Crowds were smaller that day so we didn’t have to stop to wait for other groups. I then returned to Auschwitz around 4pm to walk through on my own and to visit some of the country specific exhibits - Hungary’s exhibit is especially good. In order to return to camp 1, I purchased free tickets ahead of time since you have to renter the queue.

Tour vs self guided - 100% go on a tour. The guides paint a more complete picture than you will get from a guidebook. You can arrive early if you want to see birkenau before it gets crowded and walk on your own. No ticket is required to visit birkenau.

Auschwitz vs birkenau - you want to see both. Auschwitz is more intact and has almost all of the exhibits. The exhibits of luggage,eyeglasses, shoes, and human hair is overwhelming. Birkenau is 25x the size of Auschwitz camp 1. Many buildings were destroyed but you can get a better feel for the scale of the genocide. Even with most buildings destroyed you get a chill realizing how people were sorted and put to death. Many times within hours of arrival.

Krakow ghetto - to round out your experience walk through the ghetto and Jewish quarter. Visit the synagogues. Realize the size of the Jewish community that thrived in this area and then 90% of them were killed.

Last - learn about the history that led up to the holocaust. Hitler did not rise up in a vacuum. There were 20 years of anti-semitism that occurred before the death camps. The nazis were very good at isolating Jews, cutting them off from day to day community and business involvement and then eventually shipped them off to forced labor and death. Awareness of that history will help prevent this from ever happening again.
