“Our bus had a flat tire, but we got on a new bus in about an hour. That was great and I was impressed. Our guide then asks us if we (a group of 30) wanted to skip the planned bathroom stop. We all agreed. He didn’t tell us that the bathrooms at the next stop didn’t work and those at the second stop was actually just a single outhouse with no lights and in discussing condition. A 30-person group that included several children and older travelers went 3.75 hours without a toilet! At the first stop, Filip knew things would go bad. He rushed through a few words and…”

“There is alot of bad press about ridiculously early pick ups and queueing. I can honestly say, we had no issues, our driver was very informative and friendly. Our tour guide at Auschwitz and Birkenhau (Mihael) was very knowledgeable and easy to listen to. The audio equipment is exceptional. I was able to skip a section without any drama. It us alot of walking, 5 miles for Auschwitz and I underestimated the impact of the steps down at the salt mine, but it was worth it. It's true what they say about the lift, uts very intimate, but over quickly. To be honest we shared it with a group of…”

“Trip started from Wielopole 2 Str at 07:25 in the Morning and finished at 1900 - over 11 hours. I was emailed the the details of pick up point a day before. Very good communication from the staff. The driver picked up more people and we set off to Auschwitz 1 - took about 1.5 hours where we had a toilet break and handed over to a guide. Guide was fluent in English consulted with an older polish guide who was very knowledgable. The horrors of Nazi concentration camp was something one could never imagine without seeing it yourself. It was bitterly cold even in November and I advise that…”

Lunch provided at a small additional cost was of good quality. The driver was friendly and accommodating. The English speaking guides at the camps and salt mines were informative and pleasant.

Krakow to Zakopane day trip with Chochołów village, Gubałówka funicular views, cheese and vodka tasting, and Chocholowskie Thermal Baths.
“This tour was truly a unique and memorable experience from start to finish. Everything was very well organized. We really appreciated the clear and consistent updates via WhatsApp, including the group chat that kept everyone informed throughout the day. It made the whole trip smooth, easy, and completely stress-free. The tour included so many thoughtful details from the delicious traditional cheese and wine tasting, to the scenic funicular ride with breathtaking views, and the generous 2 hours of free time in Zakopane to explore at our own pace. Ending the day with 3 hours at the thermal baths was absolutely perfect, relaxing and the ideal way to wrap up the…”
Train from Warsaw to Krakow, guided Auschwitz-Birkenau, and 3 hours in Krakow Old Town, with pickup and transfers.
“Whatever you have seen, whatever you have been told….does not do it justice until you stand on the same ground of the greatest tragedy in history. This tour involves about 6 to 7 hours of travel, but the three hours you get at Auschwitz is unforgettable. It’s totally worth every minute of travel and waiting. I highly recommend this excursion. Our guide was perfect for the occasion. She knew when to speak and when to let the group absorb the reality of the moment. If you do one thing while you are in Poland…it MUST BE this!”
One day from Krakow to Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka Salt Mine with hotel pickup, English guides, and admission tickets.
“Every detail of the tour is great and with this places you're like part of the huge history and you can fill it all on your body. Everyone knows abou the Auschwitz but when you enter its gates.... you should see it in live, where people walked, worked, slept and many many more. Salt mine ah so beautifull and huge place, the amount of work putted there is unbiliviable. All the people who gets to or near krakow MUST definitly go there. Also the tour orginizers are very good and enjoieble people. Hey to Patrick which organized it and was our perfect driver.”
