Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka Salt Mine Guided One Day Tour

This was a great trip, well organised and the bus driver and guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a 2 hour waiting time at the mine but that only meant more exploring around the town of Wieliczka which was great. Overall I'd really recommend, it was an unforgettable experience

The tour was great. The operator was very kind and both tours were amazing. The salt mine is beautiful, and you learn more about the history of Poland and the salt mine. Definitely recommend it. After the salt mine, we saw Auschwitz. The tour was very informative and it was horrifying listening to what happened on the very ground you were standing on. It’s something everyone should see.

What a tour. The Salt Mines were spectacular to say the least but Auschwitz was incredible. So moving. I do not know how the guide can do this day in day out.

I had an amazing day doing this combo tour. First part of the day was spent with our guide Marko in the Salt mines. Marko was witty, knowledgeable and very patient, he made sure he answered all the questions that were put to him and made us all laugh. Next part of the day was spend visiting 2 of the Auschwitz camps with our guide Agnieszka. The whole experience was extremely moving and something that I find hard to describe in words. Agnieszka was very knowledgeable and was extremely professional. I highly recommend this tour, it was great value for money.

The salt mine was brilliant and excellent guide. Lots of stairs going down and such a relief to see a lift when finished to go up. Auschwitz-birkenau brilliant guide again, very emotional experience. Our driver Martin was on time and very helpful. Would recommend this to anyone bearing in mind it’s along day.

Unforgettable experience at a very decent price. The group was great, as well as our guide Christopher and the guides in Wieliczka mine and Auschwitz. Be prepared for a lot of walking and don't forget a hat and/or a sunscreen if you are doing this tour during the summer. Also, do take along some handkerchiefs, the Auschwitz tour is very upsetting and emotional.

Tour was fantastic value, couldn’t have enjoyed it more, The guide at Auschwitz was very knowledgeable and informative. Auschwitz isn’t somewhere I can say I enjoyed going but the guide was great.

We wish a bit more information was provided in advance of the tour. It was only after we were picked up that we learned we were in for a lot of walking, later figuring out we walked 6.5 miles (or about 10 kilometers). If we had been armed with this information when booking, we probably would have booked as two tours and allowed additional time for Krakow. The driver told everyone after all had been picked up that our lunch break would be after our Birkenau stop. "Lunch ended up beginning at 4:35 with only 25 minutes allotted so some people didn't eat unless they had snacks with them. The bus driver continually left people in the dust and when they caught up they had no time to grab a snack or to catch their breath. The Auschwitz & Birkenau local guide did pretty much the same thing, saying we'd walk slowly to the next point. The walks were fairly brisk in our estimation. Plan on walking around 4 miles just in the Auschwitz/Birkenau complexes. It would be our recommendation the walk be broken up a bit more with additional descriptions. Our The Wieliczka Salt Mine tour was very interesting even if tiring at the end of the day and the guide, who as excellent, allowed the group to catch up before giving her descriptions or moving on.

Christopher made sure the day went as smoothly as possible. The camps were a harrowing experience but one everyone should feel. The salt mines was a good way to end the day with a lighter tone.

The tour guide was very good. It would have been better to spend more time at Birkenau. Well explained and all questions answered
