    Extremely interesting and moving mostly for those found of history.
    Organization was fine, good driver, good guide but no time to have lunch when the tour is from 8h30 to 15h and only 2 break if 10nminutes for toilets or what ever ...no restaurant on site anyway no time it s why I give 4 instead of 5

    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!

    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!

    I went on the pub crawl last night and it was great! The people were great, good bar choice and special shout-out to Bryanh who made sure everyone had a good night!

    If you’re travelling solo then this is a great way to meet people! Bryanh introduced me to so many people and was a great laugh, I’d definitely go again with him.

    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!

    The guide was very nice, friendly and knoweledgeable. The only problem is that we were the only 2 English people to book the tour so we had to join a Polish tour. The guide had to translate everything into English for us. Her English was excellent but it slowed the tour for everyone

    Pick up and drop off all smooth, excellent communication from our driver Pawel.

    The zoo itself was great, such a lovely day out. We found about 4 hours to be enough time for a couple.

    Would 100% recommend.

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.
