    These guys were great! Super friendly, answered all my questions, made good suggestions, and fitted the bike I rented to my size (handlebars, seat, etc.) They even threw in a phone holder as I was traveling via bike out into the countryside (15-20 km).
    I rented for the two weeks I was there, and they offered on-call service if I had any problems on the route.

    I would definitely rent from them if ever I am again in Krakow.

    Chris was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide. We did a tour on the first day and it gave us a good idea of where to go. Really useful information.

    We hired 2 bikes to cycle from Krakow to Tyniec. Walked in and picked the bikes up without pre booking. Great bikes and a great service. Guy who served us was a nice guy too.

    Had a wonderful effortless day cycling to the Benedictine Tyrec area. Then off to two mounds. The owner was fantastic and delivered our bikes to the house and even came out to meet us as one bike said it was running out of battery. It turned out the battery was fine but the sensor was not. However he made the effort to come out 15km away to see if we were OK. What a star! I love it that in Krakow you have designated cycle lanes, and the drivers are so kind! Thanks for a great experience. 100plz per bike is great value too.

    It was April, cloudy and it was going to be windy. Not a perfect day for a beginner. But it was my only day in Krakow. The orgeniser adaptet his shedule to mine and acording to the best windfree time. I was scared to fall in the water, but with the training bevore and knowing the little hints, its almost impossible to fall in the water. I had a personal training and the orgeniser was very patient and sympatic.

    I can only recomand this experients.

    Good, cheap and easily accessible place for bike rentals. Staff was very helpful with endless patience in finding helmets that fit our kids. They had appropriate bike sizes too (our kids are 7-12 yrs old). Krakow is surrounded by an old city Wall and adjacent to the wall there is a walking/bicycle path all the way around so you can easily bike around the old town and stop for sight for example Wawel castle. We also went by bike to Kasimierz but in hindsight that was a bit too much traffic to be entirely safe and fun for the kids.

    We had so much fun riding these scooters through Kraków! We received great service and we will definitely rent scooters from this company again, next time we are in town. Thank you for the great service and see you next time 😊

    Great quality company. If you want to rent a good value of electric scooters, it is the best place in Krakow. We hired scooters to discover this beautiful city. Full professionalism.

    We booked the self-guided tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau via Booking.com a few days before our visit of Krakow.

    I read lots of reviews of tours before booking and felt that this tour would suit us better than the guided tours as we would be able to spend longer in the museums and to walk through at our own pace. I'd looked at making our own way to the camps, but it's quite a long journey by public transport and would have involved several buses and a good two hours minimum each way. Then there's no guarantee that you will be able to enter the site as an individual. This tour was extremely good value to get us there and back quickly in comfort and to guarantee entrance and all of the information needed to fully appreciate the visit.

    I'm so glad we chose this company, we had clear instructions on our meeting time and place. Our bus driver, Marco, gave us lots of interesting information about the two sites and played a documentary during the journey to further prepare us for the visit. He also laid out clearly the logistics of our visit, a recommended order in which to visit specific areas of the site, where to buy food and how to travel from one side to another and when on the free shuttle bus. He also gave us a guide book to use during the visit which was marked with not to be missed sites.

    On arrival at Auschwitz Marco accompanied us to the counter to collect our tickets, then drove us to Birkenau to start our visit handing us each a bottle of water, even an umbrella to use as a parasol if required.

    It seems that most tours begin at Auschwitz before visiting Birkenau and this meant that we got to Auschwitz as the crowds had cleared from this smaller site and were able to walk around without queuing even in peak season. It was great to be able to linger at the areas which most interested us rather than being rushed though by a tour guide in a large crowd.

    Marco's directions for Birkenau were spot on and we exited this site to climb straight aboard the shuttle bus to Auschwitz to give us a full two hours to visit the site there. We had plenty of time to see everything and to read all the panels alongside our guidebooks and Marco was waiting exactly where he'd said he would be, as we expected at this stage.

    Auschwitz is, I feel, the more emotionally draining of the two camps and it was a relief to know on leaving that our journey back to Krakow would be straightforward and comfortable.

    Thank you Marco, you did a great job at making our visit as stress-free, comfortable and informative as possible considering the nature of the visit itself.

    We didn't need to rent a bike but were in need for repairing a broken luggage carrier from our own trekking bike. Great service and a good laugh. If in need of renting a bike i'd surely go to starbikes. Vera

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.
