Auschwitz-Birkenau & Wieliczka in one day Best Value Shared Tour

Driver was very nice and car(minibus) was spotless and very comfortable, camps are about 1.5 hrs out of Kraków.. the weather on the day was horrible so be advised. Lots of walking and paths are very uneven and covered in puddles , on the day was sleet rain all day, very cold so wear warm clothes and proper shoes not runners if the weather is going to be bad. Paths are paved with large puddles Our driver (Peter) had umbrellas at hand 🙏🏻. Birkenau is ALL outdoors. But weather added to the experience Guide was excellent, approx 5 mins drive between the two locations Salt mine was about 1hr from camps and we had about 1 hour to have a break before tour... lots of walking again .. and steps .. most down though... fabulous place . If you’re claustrophobic ask before taking tour !!! Overall a great day out .. worn out walking but a bucket list item ticked. Thanks to our driver again Highly recommended trip as this is or split over 2 days (Picked up at 8am back around 19:00 )

Great tour, greats guides. It was very organized and the guide was really good explaining the history

Attractions are worth it a visit, concentration camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau are well maintained. Salt Mine is charming

Fantastic day ! Disappointing that we couldn't get to Birkenau as it was too slippery underfoot. The salt mines and Auschwitz were amazing ! I think it should become part of the school curriculum. This was my 5th visit but I shall certainly be back.

Long day but we’ll worth it, not a tour for a young family. Our tour guide was very good and informative. The tour of the camps is a must see amazing and very sensitive. The overall cost is good value with a pack lunch included. When booking make sure cost includes for the entry to all. We still had to pay for the mine entry. The mine visit is okay but I would not rush back. You are emailed your pick up point and time, make sure you are on time. The coach was very good clean and tidy. The driver was experienced and did not think he was Lewis Hamilton. This was one of my tick boxes and I am glad I did. Viator made very easy.

The driver was welcoming and as informative as he could be about the plan of the day. The tour in Auschwitz was delivered by a fantastic guide with superb English. He really delivered it well at a good speed. Sometimes I felt like we were walking past a lot of billboards which he may have been explaining verbally and may have just been for tourists doing self-tours, so we probably weren't missing information. The tour started early enough to miss the huge traffic of people we saw going in on our way out which was another plus. Then we were taken to the salt mines by the driver, and the driver explained that the exit is about 600m down the road from the car. It was a bit confusing and disorientating after walking around for 3 hours in the mine to then have to find the driver but plenty of people were in the same situation so it was easy enough to find the entrance to the salt mine again and find the driver. The only negative about this trip was the unclear information before hand via email. The link to claim our tickets took me to a page which said 'THIS IS NOT YOUR ENTRY TICKET - you can redeem your tickets at any one of these locations' and then listen many street names around the city. On the night before the event we saw this after arriving into Krakow late, and we spent hours trying to find a place open and a place where we could redeem the tickets. The tour operator phone line was closed so we felt really stuck. In the end at 5am, after calling them multiple times and using a lot of our phone credit, they told us the email with booking reference is sufficient and we don't need to redeem any tickets. The other negative was that it would have been nice to have a printed/emailed itinerary of how the day was going to be, how long things were going to last and what times things would start etc, as we got on the bus not sure of the day ahead of us.

I wasn't too keen on visiting Auschwitz, but so glad I did. Very sobering experience & really brings home the importance of keeping the memory alive of all the prisoners who lost their lives during that time. Salt mines was very impressive, although a lot of walking so not ideal for young kids or elderly! Got to say I was also glad to see the daylight again, the idea of being 150m underground was beginning to give me anxiety. Worth the experience though. Driver & tour guides both very good.

We started very early, with pick up from our accommodation at 5:50am. Having said that, this meant we got to Auschwitz ahead of the traffic and queues. Our driver was also the tour guide for Auschwitz and he was very good. Very sensitive and knowledgable. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see Birkenau due to the icy conditions so got to the Salt Mines earlier than planned. I must say after the morning at Auschwitz, the Salt Mines were not the highlight of the trip. However, the tour guide and service was great, with door to door pick up. There is a lot of walking but value for money with a packed lunch thrown in, it was great!

Very early start at 5:45AM, despite this our driver was fantastic and the journey to and from the locations was seamless. The tour guide we had was exceptional and extremely informative regarding Auschwitz and gave a very thorough insight into the history of the site. On the day, the operators card machine had stopped working - This lead to us all having to withdraw money to pay the 89PLN fee for entrance to the Salt mines. In hindsight, the fee for the Salt mine should be included in the price paid, rather than having to find the money on the day. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this trip.

This was an amazing trip, it was a full on tiring day but really worth it. Our tour guide was Francesco he was very knowledgeable and also very respectful of the places we visited he told the stories of the events in a way that made you feel the horror of what happened there. I think everyone should go there once in their lives and understand the horrors of what occurred I came away feeling like I’d paid my respects and also felt very grateful for my lot in life. The salt mine was also a good experience the guide there was knowledgeable and pieced together the history of the place. It was a whistle stop day but well worth it. We were picked up at 7.20 and got back at 6.30pm there were plenty of breaks to use restrooms along the way.
