The tours were both extremely interesting..... special mention to the guides - catherine in the salt mines and especially gregory in auschwitz (very respectful and informative)... the only problem in the whole day was not long enough at the restaurant and some people did not get their food in time..... other than this i would recommend this tour... however if you have mobility issues or are unfit, the pace can be quite punishing at times and it is a long day (about 13hrs for us)

Both experiences perfectly organized down to the smallest detail. The mines a real treat. Auschwitz and Birkenau, a complex and touching experience that everyone should do. Both guides really good. The guide to the Auschwitz and Birkenau camps, with his depth of thought and emotionality perfectly conveyed to us the understanding of what happened there. Gabriella and Joseph

The guide (Mijael - Walker) was very friendly and enthusiastic in explaining everything in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Both Auschwitz and the salt mine are essential visits if you go to Krakow, it was great to be able to do them in one day. On the downside: initially the pick up for the tour was going to be at 7:45 but the day before we were told that we would be picked up 2 hours earlier than planned.

    The salt mines were excellent with an excellent tour guide who made it interesting and threw in some humour. We didn't arrive at autzwitch until 3pm and by the time everyone collected their headsets etc in was 3.20pm before the tour started. The tour of both autzwitch and Birkenau was rushed And lot's of information missed out. I know this because I have been before. I came with my son who hadn't been before and I was very disappointed that he didn't get the full experience.

    The visit to the mine was not with the company's guide, not only did he not accompany us, but he gave the group the opportunity to decide whether to visit the museum, which was included and should have been done (whoever did not want to wait at the door). In short, the guide of the company that accompanies you to the Mine only does that and worries about conditioning the group not to visit the museum so they can leave early. I would not hire him again.

  • Historical discovery at Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka Salt Mines

    The tour commences with a comfortable bus ride, guided by an expert guide who sets the tone for your day's journey. The first leg of the tour takes you to Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp during World War II. Founded by the Nazis in 1940 on the outskirts of Oświęcim, the camp witnessed the tragic deaths of over 1.5 million people from 28 different nationalities. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, it stands as a permanent memorial to the atrocities of the Holocaust.

    The narrative of the day shifts as you proceed to the Wieliczka Salt Mine. A local guide will lead you through stunning salt chambers, showcasing original sculptures and historic miners' workplaces that tell tales of the mine’s glorious past. The day concludes with a hassle-free drop-off at your hotel or the meeting point in Krakow. Ticket options include convenient hotel pickup and drop-off as well as a meeting point pickup, offering you the flexibility to choose according to your convenience.
