Auschwitz-Birkenau and Salt Mine in One Day from Krakow

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.

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.

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

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.

We didn’t get picked up at the hotel, and had to walk for 15 minutes at 6:30am. Couldn’t have breakfast at the hotel, it was too early. And no shops on the way was open. The pick up was on time, and the drive there was good, but the car was very full, and not very corona friendly. When we got to the Auschwitz’s museum, we had a 10 minute brake, to go to the toilet or whatever we needed. We went over to the cafe, to get some breakfast, but there was a huge line. After eight minutes in the line, we got out, and went to our pick up point. We ended up standing there for 25 minutes waiting for everyone else in our group, who was in the cafe, having their coffee and breakfast. Disrespectful, and I think our tour guy, should just leave them there. Ten minutes is ten minutes, for everyone!!! When everyone was there, we got our tickets, and had to wait for another 30 minutes to get in to the museum… too long! When we first got inside our Polish guide did an awesome job!! She was very good and we had a good experience at both Auschwitzs and Birkenau. After that, we were excited to see the salt mines. After a long drive, we ended up back in the city, to drop of half the group, and let on a new bunch of people. It took a lot of time, and for those of us left in the car, who’d been up since 6AM, it was a loooong time. When we got to the salt mine, we met at the meeting point, and was ready to go in. But our tour guide gave us a 30 minute brake??? For what??? We had just been sitting in the car having a brake for over two hours!! And then having a 30 minute brake?? Outrageous…. At this point, I was pissed!! After 45 minutes, we entered the salt mines. It was a super tour, and our guide did a grate job! On our way home, we went of the bus as soon as we could, just to get out of there…. The two local guides at the sites, was so great!! But it’s bus guide, needs to man up!! Focus more on the time, and take care of everyone in the group!

We really enjoyed this tour and the coach driver and guides where really friendly, I will recommend this to friend when we get back home, we found part of the experience heart breaking what had to be endured by the Germans and the salt mines are amazing ( must see) 🇮🇪

Really, really good interesting trips. Very good tour guider from start to finish. Excellent English, pick up and drop off near hotel. The trips can be a little cold so wrap up well.

Booked for Partner's 30th so not my bag. But even i thoroughly enjoyed it. The salt mines were beautiful. Auschwitz was harrowing, but really interesting and our guide was very knowledgeable. Definitely recommended.
