          Great driver and tour
          Driver was punctual and in regular communication leading up to the morning pick-up. As lunch is not included in the package, the driver offered a box lunch for a reasonable additional cost which I greatly appreciated.

          Good experience
          Did as said, driver messaged and confirmed pick up day before and asked if we wanted lunch to be arranged. Everything was on time, day lasting 7am to 1pm including transfer times. I am not sure if the guide was part of this company but they were good, useful information, a bit rushed but I didn't mind. All in all, very well worth, reasonable price for ticket and transfer and good driver. Thanks.

          The tour company made everything easy as they arranged it all for us and went out their way to help when required. The tour guide was knowledgeable and more than happy to answer any questions. Would recommend ordering the packed lunch as it can be a long day.

          Fantastic communication & organisation. We were let down at the last minute by a different company & Sławek sorted us transport & tickets to Auswitz and Birkenau. Marek, our driver, was lovely & very professional. Very poignant trip, a very important visit and a must do for anyone.

          Family trip
          The driver picked us up from our hotel spot on time, his driving was very careful. We got to the museum in good time for our guide, we did the tour which was very informative. When we got out the driver was waiting for us with our lunch packs to take us to the second site to meet back up with our guide which again was a very informative tour. We were then returned back to our hotel. Would definitely recommend

          Must see—because we cannot forget
          Man’s inhumanity to man is always depressing. This tour will remind you of the evil in the world and that we can never, ever let something like this happen again. I knew a bit about the place and the times, but it’s still difficult to see the actual location, and hear what the victims went through. Be prepared to be saddened and angry.

          The information in advance was prompt and good. Used mail and WhatsApp. Booked directly and not through any third party. Our driver Bartek sent an WhatsApp the morning the day before. He picked us up outside our apartment right on time (7:15), was polite, drove well and spoke excellent English. Took care of everything when we got to Auschwitz. The guide provided at the camp was unfortunately not one of the best but that is a totally other story and not the fault of Auschwitz Tours, which we highly recommend.

          A moving experience, not to be missed.
          Going to Auschwitz and Birkenau has been a life long ambition of mine. Our guide, Margaret was extremely knowledgable and passionate she really gave you a sense of the horrors that took place there. She was so passionate I often thought she would cry herself. It is difficult to explain what an impact it had. Nothing could have prepared me for the physical act of being there.

        I loved what was included in this trip. The communication for the pick up was effective and it was beneficial having all the transport included. I would recommend choosing to have a packed lunch offered. There is a cafe in the salt mines but you would be here quite late in the day! Everything was well organised and I have recommended this trip to others.

        A great tour. Very well organised. Contacted the previous day and asked whether we wanted a packed lunch, pick up from our hotel by a very friendly, helpful driver who arrived spot on time. He was knowledgeable and happy to chat. Pick up points/times were clear at the different stages of the day.
        The tour of the camps was very well organised and the guide was excellent. Very thorough.
        The salt mines your is very good. The whole family enjoyed the day.

        The day overall was enjoyable and extremely well organised. The Auschwitz guide was knowledgeable but delivered the tour as if it was a race and a chore. It felt unemotional and an anti-climax and I struggled to connect with the devasting and traumatic events that took place there. I was a little disabled by a knee injury but the guide wasn't able to pause even one minute for me to catch up with the group which left me feeling embarrassed and a hindrance. The Salt Mines were a revelation. The tour guide was excellent, fun and interactive. The 800 steps and vast area we covered were not a struggle. It was a great end to an exhausting, full day.

        Dear Julian This review should be posted on Auschwitz museum profile (panstwowe muzeum auschwitz birkenau oswiecim) as they provide the service inside the camps. We provide only transportation for you and we do all the best for our customers. Please understand that we do not have any influence on groups inside the camps. Auschwitz Birkenau Museum is a state owned institution, and in fact due to millions of tourists each year visiting the camps, they have sometimes problems with proper organization. We send your complains there, but no answer usually. I am really sorry for that, but that is the problem of over-visited places sometimes. We would love to change it somehow but it is out of our control. Also please note, that all the tour companies providing 'tours' to Auschwitz have exactly the same problem. I would like to inform you that you chose Shared Transport and group tour options with full 3 hours and 30 minutes tour, which results in adapting to the rules that prevail in this type of trip. Our offer also includes the possibility of booking a private guide provide by museum only for you for the whole day. Regards Konrad

        Our driver Daniel was very knowledgeable and professional. Communication was great before and on the day. A very good and safe driver. The tours were absolutely fabulous and informative. I would highly recommend doing both in one day as it was quite uplifting visiting the Saltmines in the afternoon. Daniel got the timings during the day spot on for us. Pick up at 7.20am and drop off about 6pm. You do alot of steps during the day so it was nice to get back to Krakow to relax in the evening. I would highly recommend the tour and guide.

        Very well organised. Communicated well by text and email. Pick up was on time. Guide (Mario) was excellent, coach was good, transfer from Salt Mines to Auschwitz went smoothly, them Mario came into his own with a respectful but passionate commentary around Auschwitz and the Death camps. Arrived back at Krakow where we were picked up.

        The all day tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau and the Salt mine was very organized and educational. The communication from our driver, Daniel, in advance of the tour was very good and appreciated. We were picked up at our hotel at the time specified and we preordered a box lunch which was very helpful. The tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau was very educational and the guide did a great job of sharing the difficult subject in a compassionate yet factual manner. The Salt Mine tour was very interesting and allowed plenty of time for pictures throughout the mine. Would highly recommend this tour.

        Extremely well organised the driver Daniel was prompt and friendly. We knew exactly what was going on with regard to where we were going and being picked up, couldnt fault it. Tour guides took over at both Auschwitz 1 and Birkenau and the Salt Mines. both very informative and readily answered questions. Auchwitz and Birkenau are a must see but sobering and horrifc at the same time. The Salt Mines are again a must see with a spectacular chapel some 100 metres below the ground. Absolutely amazing and the best part of the tour. The day is long 10 hours in fact but good to do both in one day so you can get on with seeing the square and old town. There are a mass of restaurants with outdoor seating and on a weekend especially it is buzzing. We stayed at the Xerion Hotel which is a short walk from the old town and is very nice with a restaurant and bar. Plus there is a small fridge in the room.
        I would definately recommend it.

        We highly recommend this tour from Krakow. Our driver promptly picked us up from our hotel and, during the ride to Auschwitz, played a video (difficult to watch but necessary) which gave us an overlay of what we were to experience during our tour. Once we arrived at Auschwitz, we were quickly put into our tour groups. Our tour guide (wish that we remembered his name) was nothing short of excellent. A difficult tour, to say the least, but he handled it throughly with compassion and knowledge. Once our tour of Auschwitz was finished, our driver gave us our bagged lunch and then off we went for a tour of Birkenau, with our same guide. I cannot say enough about our excellent guide.
        We then proceeded to the Salt Mine which is quite interesting and definitely worth the visit. Our driver met us after our tour and delivered us to our hotel.

Very passionate and knowledgeable and always open to answering of any questions. Salt mines are amazing and again our guide was full of information about the history and always welling to talk. We had the lunch through them too which was good value . Would highly recommend this tour

        We booked this tour, but were informed that the tour to the Salt Mine part would not go ahead due to it closing early. The Auschwitz part of the tour was very good & moving. The only criticism is that despite the fact we were promised a 60% refund for the Salt Mine part the full payment was taken & to date have still not received the refund.
