Overview
Both the Wieliczka Salt Mine and the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum can only be explored in a group led by an official guide. Given it takes around three hours to travel between the two on public transport, your only practical option for seeing both in a day is with a transfer service. This cost-effective package includes admission tickets, guided tours, and door-to-door transfers to and from central Krakow hotels.
- Pay tribute at the somber Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum
- Wander the echoing caverns of a UNESCO World Heritage salt mine
- Round-trip transfers direct from your hotel save hours of time
- Explore both sites with specialist guides, with a tour leader in transit

An unforgettable experience
Vesela_Z

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
Great 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.
A must do

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.
Brilliant 🤩

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.
Unique experience

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.
Great value, great day

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.
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It is a day with a lot of walking and we inform about that in tour's description. The trip contains both Auschwitz and the Birkenau with around 4 kilometers of walking and then over 3 kilometers of the tourist route in the Salt Mine. We could arrange only 35 (not 25) minutes break that day regarding couple of facts: one group has been late 15 minutes for the pickup in the morning, some participants had problems with walking which slowed down the group a bit and it was a huge traffic on the highway caused by an accident and the driver used a side road. We normally provide around 50 minutes lunch break but all the facts above caused a delay. The driver apologised the group for the incovinience of shorter lunch break and waited for everybody. Also the driver has not left anybody after announcing the lunch break. We are always opened for answering all the questions and to give any useful advice. We do apologise for any incovinience however we are happy that you were satisfied with the guides and the tours themselves and we wish you a nice day!
Excellent trip

The tour guide was very good. It would have been better to spend more time at Birkenau. Well explained and all questions answered
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Thank you for your review :) on the standard tour visitors spend standard 60 minutes time in the Birkenau which is caused by very heavy traffic in this place. You have to remember the museum serves nearly 3 milion visitors a year so the time to spend there with a guide must be limited by the authorities of the museum.

The Salt mine was an incredibly interesting place for a visit , unique experience the tour guide was amazing and really friendly as were our driver and other guide at Auschwitz. The only thing I wish was done a bit differently would be for out Auschwitz guide to speak a little louder during the second part of the tour and maybe share just a little bit more information but I can understand that the time was limited and I'm sure that he would have answered any questions that I'd have so I really can't complain. Overall a great experience that I would definitely recommend.
Great trip.

We paid €72 each. Auschwitz 1 was fine, we saw everything but Auschwitz 2 (Birkenau) was very short. The guide was nice but difficult to understand and didn't seem very interested. My boyfriend had been there before and explored the place himself. He was able to tell me alot more about it than the tour guide. The salt mines were good, the guide was good but we could have gotten through it much quicker. Lovely driver with good English.
Great day trip. Would recommend
