This tour is both amazing and humbling at the same time, auschwitz and birkenau is the most historical humbling experience you could imagine and one that everyone should witness, the salt mines are mind blowing and so beautiful, this is a long day with a lot of walking but one that is well worth it

Very very busy at Auschwitz especially at first camp and hard to keep up with guide. Never right beside the part the guide was speaking about. Salt mines were fantastic but the head sets seemed to cut out if you were not right beside your guide.

Very pleased with this tour. Everything was taken care of for me for the whole day. Driver was excellent, knowledgeable and punctual. Avoided all ques booking in advance too. Those leading the tours were excellent. Strongly recommend this company if you don't have much time in Krakow and would like to see both the camps and the salt mines.
