The highlight of our krakow trip. Super friendly and organised drivers and guides. Can warmly recommend. Had the best day. Thank you.

We have just returned from our 4 day trip to Krakow, we had booked a tour of Auschwitz and Birkenau with a private transfer prior to going on holiday. The guided tour we were given when we arrived was excellent. Of course many harrowing stories and many harrowing things to see. But an unmissable tour and can highly recommend using Krakow Discovery.

Just returned from our trip to Krakow. I am so impressed by this service. Brilliant communication from them in regards to pick up time etc. Our drivers were so friendly and informative. Would not go past booking your trip to Auschwitz & Salt mines with them. 10/10.

I'm not a trip advisor regular, but I fully recommend this tour out of the many are available for a day trip to Auschwitz and the Salt mines. Good driver, very professional and friendly. Helps you through the crowds and chaos at the Auschwitz entrance. All very punctual and well organised. It's impossible to do this trip on your own in one day, so the price was reasonable. They offer a packed lunch if you want.

Both a humbling and great day. Picked up at hotel, nice and easy. Good value for money. Long day and early start, but worth it

My husband and I pre booked this tour when we knew we were coming to Krakow for our city break. We were picked up from our hotel by Bartek who was extremely polite, helpful and knowledgeable and also very kind. We collected on our way 3 other couples and made our way to Auschwitz. On arrival, we were given a packed lunch and had something to eat before being given our tickets and joining the fast track queue to gain entrance and to meet our guide. You do not walk around Auschwitz as an individual but a tour guide takes you through the camp. From the beginning when you walk through a long tunnel and are listening to the names of the dead, you start to feel very humbled and slightly nervous at what you are about to see. Our guide (and I am really sorry but I cant remember her name) was excellent. She was compassionate, empathetic and still emotional. She explained things very clearly and welcomed questions at any point. After visiting Auschwitz 1 you then get back into your mini van and go and see Birkenau and the death camp. Again, it is a very thought provoking place to see and I found myself wandering and just taking in the vastness at the size of the camp. It is really difficult to put into words the things you see, the rooms you visit, the steps you are re tracing of those that died before you but it is definitely something I would recommend you visit; young or old. We should never forget. You also do ALOT of walking so if you struggle keeping a pace, or walking in general you might struggle with this tour.

Visited here with friends for a 5 pm guided tour and the whole place were heaving with people queuing in different language rows. Entrance into the bottom section was very gruelling with 378 steps descending the whole way down. Fascinating sculptures carved out of salt were present in various chambers. Very interesting experience, but one visit was adequate owing to the tremendous ascending and descending route.Great experience to have seen this wonderful creation .especially navigating the route with uphill ascent and downhill descent in all the numerous chambers with well lit signage. Alll groups must follow the guide closely. Great gift shop and a cafeteria at the end of the tour. Exit is via two lifts as location was 135 metres down.

Highly recommend. We booked to go with a small group but on the day were advised the minibus had broken down so we were taken by car and had our own personal driver who was so friendly and helpful. Communication was great both before and during the trip , Auschwitz was incredibly moving and the salt mine was just incredible. It’s a long day but value for money and highly recommend.

The trip was well organized. Pick up was clear and communicated the day before by our driver Mario. Our group of 25-30 people was broken out into 4 vans; my van had 7 people. We drove from Krakow to Auschwitz I where the drivers arranged the tickets and entry. We were provided our headset and met our guide, Patricia, from Auschwitz museum. She provided excellent context and explanation. We then returned to the van and were driven to Auschwitz ll where we met back up with the same guide. Once that was finished we went on to the Salt Mine. We did arrive about 45 minutes before our assigned tour time so we sat at the hotel there for a drink. We then made our way to the line for the English language tour and we're guided by a museum guide (group also a put 25 people. No headsets for this tour, but it wasn't really needed you could hear the guide well enough). The tour organizers offered a pre-ordered box lunch for 50 Polish Zloty per person and we did opt for that. The sandwich was good along with the other items in the bag and it was filling and good to have in the car during the long day.

We were a group of 13 so a group tour was the best option , I contacted krakow discovery who gave me al the costs and info we needed for our visit , I had seen people let down by other companies so was nervous booking but we were not disappointed , collected from our hotel in a comfortable mini bus with a friendly driver who met our guide and she was very informative and passionate , a moving visit which highlighted the atrocious cruelty which was inflicted on so many people , our driver met us to then transfer to Birkenau , again our guide talked and walked us around the camp , a hot day in May so have a sun hat as no shade , Thank you for organising

Excellent day out at both these locations The Salt Mines were amazing. Lift back to the surface was an “experience” Great driver (Bartek) who looked after us all day even arranging our packed lunch.

We had an amazing time in Krakow, fabulous city, so much to do, fabulous restaurants and very safe. Special mention to Mario our driver to Auschwitz. Berkenau, Salt mines and back…. he was super efficient and very informative, we were very lucky to have him.

My second visit to this heritage site. It was modernized in some ways compared to my last visit. Found it very interesting and it was laid out very well. The one complaint I have was the duplicate security restrictions. We processed through the first security and scanned our tickets. Then suddenly we had to proceed through a second ticket review process and scan our tickets again. That did not make any sense. It caused some congestion in the line of people waiting to proceed into the Center. The trip to the Wieliczka Salt Mines was the highlight of the day. The sculptors carved by miner was unbelievable. Really enjoyed this part of the trip even more than the Auschwitz. One thing in both tours, this is not made for elderly folks like us. The walking was exhausting but well worth it.

The driver Micheal was excellent. Really good communication throughout, made sure we knew exactly where to be and when. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. A definite if you are travelling to Krakow!

Fantastic experience! Everything was perfect! The driver came and picked us up from the hotel and returned us as well. There was no delay or waiting at points of interest Highly recommended!
