Hassle free transport. It was a large tour group which would then be split in two once at the attractions. Due to the size of the group the bus was totally full. People where pushing g on to secure seats. Salt mine was very fun. Our tour guide was very nice and had a unique, dark sense of humour. It was a nice change from the usual monotone tour. Auschwitz however. I’d reckon you could give it a pass. Tour was long and drawn out. Our tour guide, while he was a super nice dude - was not the most entertaining. Especially after the salt mine tour guide. If you can go to Auschwitz by yourself and NOT with a massive tour group I’m sure it’s be much better. Overall we enjoyed our day. It might’ve been long, some of the people in our group might’ve been insufferable but the actual experience was pretty fun!

No words to describe this trip …the guide was excellent and extremely considerate to the history of the site and very knowledgeable …a long day but worth it …we ordered lunch from the tour company which was excellent 2 small rolls with whichever filling you picked (recommend the Humous), water, fruit and chocolate…there are plenty of places to eat whilst you out although time is limited between visits…highly recommend

Picked up at 8:30, dropped back off in Krakow centre before 8pm. Our guide Eric was great! Tour guides on both tours very knowledgeable. Bring lunch with you to eat on bus as we did not have much time to break in between. Great trip, would recommend!
