About this activity

Your small-group, full-day experience begins with a 9 am pickup in an air-conditioned minivan from your Krakow-area hotel or meeting place. Travel to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, where a professional guide will be waiting for you. Tour the former Nazi concentration and extermination camp and learn about its dark history and eventual liberation, beginning with Auschwitz I, the one-time SS administrative center. After a 10-minute break, continue on to the second camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau II.

After this sobering experience, travel to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Wieliczka Salt Mine, where you will have a 1-hour lunch break before descending beneath the ground via several hundred steps to tour the historic mine complex. You will be accompanied by a local tour guide, who will tell you about the history of one of the world's oldest salt mines as you explore amazing chambers, original sculptures carved from salt rock, and authentic miners' workplaces.

After you return to the surface, the tour ends with drop-off back at your Krakow hotel around 8 pm.

Tour guides, starting with Karolina, Dominik, and Łukasz were fantastic. Very knowledgeable and engaging.

I have read so much about the extermination of the people sent to Auschwitz but until you have actually been to this place and really saw what went on it is chilling and astounding that human beings can be so cruel and without thought or feelings toward mankind no matter who you are. Thank goodness we went down the Mines in Wieliczka to give a little respite and peace after Auschwitz.

Our guide Felip was a wonderful host. He was remarkably respectful and informative for the first section of the tour to Auschwitz-Birkenau.. He ensured that all guests were well informed but did not overdo anything. The second section of the tour was to Wieliczka Salt Mine and they supplied an excellent guide. Overall, a tiring but wonderful day.

Really enjoyed our day trip combining the Salt Mines and Auschwitz-Birkenau. Time constraints made it necessary to do both in the one day and it was sufficient time for both. It was a long day, really enjoyed the salt mines. Auschwitz and Birkenau was harrowing but very worthwhile, it is important that people do not forget and seeing the camps will give you a very good insight into what these people went through.

The combination of the two halves of the day was perfect. After the difficult morning we were all ready for lunch. (Lunch is NOT included in the package). Viator did a good job of making the reservation and working with a local transport and guide company. Viator is a Trip Advisor company and not the local guide. The price was the same as the local guide price so don't spend time looking around. There was 7 of us on our tour. The guides were wonderful and really made the day. We had some very minor waits as our small group was consolidated with bigger groups for the tour. The transport was exactly on time and the day went exactly as advertised. For anyone coming to Krakow we would think this tour is a must.
