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.

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 JosephDavid

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.

We really liked the transportation, the driver was nice and very kind, as well as our tour guide. She was very friendly. What we didn't like was the fact that we had to wait to the lines for a long time. We started the tour 2 hours earlier than we were scheduled and we had to wait to the queues.
