Day Trips From Krakow

I highly recommend taking a tour rather than going on your own. You'll skip the lines at the entrance, and the guide is essential for understanding the visit, especially at the second camp (the extermination camp), where there is no printed information. It was a moving and very interesting experience. Compared to other cultural tourist attractions, I think this is the most interesting one in Poland (!). However, we would have liked the guide to go a little slower because the information is VERY dense, and for the break to last longer than 10 minutes because we didn't have time to eat anything or even go to the bathroom. It wouldn't be a bad idea to give visitors a bottle of water, as the tour lasts 7 hours and it's a nice gesture.

The pick up and drop of from the hotel was spot on. The minibus was comfy and clean, the driver was polite. When booking the tickets we selected 08:10 pick up.09:30 was the arrival time. 11:15 arrival. Tour started at 11:30, and where completed by 1525. The lady tour guide was very quiet, didn't matter so much around first tour as we had headphones and she had a mic, but part 2 she didn't have these and was hard to hear. Throughout the whole first part we where constantly being chased by other tour groups and that interfered with our interactions. Just too many tours doing same route.

Lovely full day out with our guide Mirek and driver Stan. The admission was roughly £70pp - a very good price considering that this includes the seamless transfer from Krakow and back, multiple stops including a Chochołów village, cheese & vodka tasting, Zakopane (with funicular ride to Gubałówka mountain) and also the thermal baths (so much fun and great experience!). Breathtaking part of the world to see and visit, especially at this time of year in the snow. Mirek was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and funny. Would certainly recommend to people to book this trip for a full day outing! Dziękuję!

The whole trip was so organised and well planed out. Kuba the guide was amazing, explained so much of every place we stopped out and very informative. He always also very funny and made us all laugh, a credit to the company. Would recommend this trip with Kuba to anyone who wants to visit all the good places. Thanks again from The Dayas family have a great New Year!
