    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.

    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 !

    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.

    I booked a private tour with Adam. Everything was great. He is a knowledgeable and patient tour guide/driver. Also Zakopane is a great place to visit.

    Touring in the evening when it is a bit cooler and less crowded is a good idea - also a great kickoff when one arrives in town in the afternoon. (I wish that there were more evening tours). The guide was interesting and knew a lot. Note, try to be a few minutes early to look around the gate. The group was small, which was super nice. We were on time, but the last ones to arrive... give the tour a try!

    Weather let this trip down but the tour guide more than made up for this. He was a wealth of information and was very interesting to listen to. We could not see the mountains as the mist was thick and it was raining which was a shame but the place itself was lovely.

    went to see Ogrodzieniec Castle for my birthday, had a good time and a really interesting conversation throughout the day on our drive to and around the Castle. Wojtek was friendly, knowledgeable and a really good guide. to top it off he gave us some really good advice on where to get our dinner.

    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.

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.
