Long day, but places absolutely worth seeing.

Erja_L

, Apr 2022

Very long day. You really need to order lunchbox. Short breaks to buy some coffee. First we went to salt mine, interesting, nice place to see. Long walk there down under, had a good guide. Driving back to city, some people out of car and new ones in - took a long time, there it was good time to eat lunch while waiting. Also our host could had been more informative about driving distances and how long it takes to get to Auschwitz. He did not say a word. Was a long ride. But Auschwitz is something every adult should go see. Again a very good guide. So if you don't have a week in Krakow this tour is good, but otherwise do these places separately.

It’s a lot of travelling for one day, with very dodgy driving but enjoyed the two tours very much! Salt mines and auschwitz were both fab couple of shops and cafes so you won’t starve.

Moving experience with a brilliant tour guide

The tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau was incredibly moving and powerful, our tour guide brought the stories of individuals to life and the whole experience was respectful, informative and thought provoking. Similarly, the tour of the salt mine was incredibly interesting and the guides are full of knowledge whilst still coming across as passionate and emotive. Cannot recommend this tour enough!

Great tour company

Tour guides were fantastic, everything from pick up to drop off was well organised. The only annoying thing about this tour was the rude South American tourists who refused to wear face masks in the bus, despite coughing and sneezing. Their behaviour on the tour was no better with bag rattling and talking loudly during the concentration camp tour. If you are not interested in the Holocaust History then please be respectful and book a fiesta bus or something, rather then bring shame on your country.

We had an Issue and couldn’t make the Auschwitz portion of the tour Viator immediately worked with us and went of their way to help us. We’re very thankful to them for that.

Wear walking shoes!

A very long day. Left our hotel at 7.50am arrived back 7pm. BE AWARE WHEN BOOKING THESE TRIPS THAT ALTHOUGH IT SAYS HOTEL PICK UP IT MIGHT NOT BE YOUR HOTEL!! We had a 15 min walk to and from the collection point. Our guide at Auschwitz was very informative, spoke good English. Very good at what she does. The guide at the salt mines was very friendly and enthusiastic however although he spoke good English, he had a very strong accent and spoke quickly therefore we struggled to understand him.

Response from Host , Jan 2022

Thank you for the review, In the offer, there is information: Total Duration: 10 - 12 hours. We apologise for the inconvenience with hotel pick up, but you did not send us your hotel address and we collect you at one of the meeting points nearest the city centre at 8:10 am. The guides in both places are licensed and staffed by museums.

A sad tour

Driver on time and was there at every part off our trip. Auschwitz-Birkenau guide was informant (Edith I think) Didn't think salt mines as good as expected thought there would be more carvings. And had to go through 3 different souvenir shops throughout the tour. At the end our guide dorothy told us to wait in the building she would meet us there. Unfortunately she was no where to be seen presume her lift beat ours. Luckily another guide let us tag on to her group to get us safely to the start. Overall gd day worth the money

Disappointed at the plan changes but a very positive and a worth while experience

Graham_M

, Dec 2021

Such a shame!! We planned to visits both sites in 1 day, however our agents changed the plans the day before. So we did Auschwitz-Birkenau 1 day and the Salt mines the following day. We boarded our coach at 11ish to go Auschwitz and pick more people up ready for the 1hr coach trip, arriving at Auschwitz at around 1pm.. the tour was 1hr 40mins for Auschwitz with 1hr allowed for the tour of Birkenau and a 10mins break. Problem is that Birkenau shuts at 3.30pm!!!! Only managed around a 30minutes rushed tour based on this.. Needed better planning from the agent.. Guide was excellent but struggled due to the time restrictions. The Salt mines the following day went really well and again we had an excellent guide.. Would thoroughly recommend both trips as incredible and shocking in different ways. Make sure your guide allows enough time to cover your experiences as it is a long way to go to be rushed around and not see all of the sites

Think our guide was called Lucas? He was so engaging through the whole tour and so informative. We all thought he was very knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions any of us had.
