After reading reveiws on all of the tour companies in Krakow, I decided to book KRK Krakow Tours...mainly because it is a smaller company, and I like to support small businesses.
I am very happy I did, as the service provided was excellent.
I booked KRK for my airport pick-up and drop off as well as for going to Auschwitz.
When I arrived in Krakow it was very comforting and convenient to see Thomas waiting for me. no hassle at all , swiftly, he dropped me off at my hotel. He was friendly and welcoming.
Sunday morning, he picked me up to take me to Aucshwitz. He was very good company, and I enjoyed the ride through the forrest, it was like a winter wonderland...very beautiful.
I felt a bit guilty enjoying myself knowing I was on my way to such a sad place.
When we got there, Thomas was a real asset. He whisked me right through the caotic crowd, and showed me to where there is a film shown. He waited for me to watch it, then took me right over to buy my ticket. I can not stress how much easier he made it for me.
He waiting (in the cold!!!) for me to see Auschwitz, then drove me over to Birkenau...That was also a great help, because it gave me time to rest and grab a coffee before the rest of my tour met us (they were all driven there in a shuttl bus).
After a very emotionally draining experience, I had a little snooze in the car on the way back to Krakow.
I can't imagine doing this day on my own...this was money more than well spent.
He picked me up promptly again to go back to the airport. By then it was so nice to have a familiar face to pick me up.
I HIGHLY recommend Thomas, and KRK Tours!
