“Very nice transportation vehicle including TV to show a documentary on route. Tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly”
Travel from Krakow to Auschwitz I and Birkenau on a 7 to 8 hour guided tour. Expect a professional guide, air-conditioned transport, museum entry, personal artifacts, barracks, and a short break between sites. Hotel pickup and a lunchbox are optional.
“Tour guide could have spoken a bit louder but it was hard to be frustrated as it was a somber experience. He was very knowledgeable.”
Spend a serious, full day visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka Salt Mine from Krakow. English-speaking guides lead you through camp barracks and memorial grounds, then 3 km of underground passages, lakes, and St. Kinga’s Chapel. Expect about 700 steps and plenty of walking.
“There was a wee problem with transport, but that is separate from the actual tour of salt mine, well worth the visit, spectacular, lots of exercise was had. The guide was excellent, can’t remember his name, maybe Paul, he had been there for 17 years, very pleasant, knowledgeable and entertaining, a lovely guy.”

“Our guide and driver, Tomas, was extremely helpful and courteous and had s great sense of humor. the group of six (made up of 3 parties of two who had previously never met) had s great laugh with him. We all noted what an excellent driver he was and how thoughtful he was of other drivers.”

“Myself and a friend decided to do the quad biking in Poland. It was great fun and the guide was really friendly! It was set in the countryside with a large forest to ride through, worth the trip!”
