Attractions included
Auschwitz Tour from Krakow
Auschwitz Tour from Krakow
Nothing can prepare you for the influx of emotions that will run through your heart as you explore the camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau - the only death camp on the UNESCO World Heritage List where pure evil resided for 5 long years. Each exhibition in the museum adds another sting in your heart and makes you realise what atrocities humans are capable of in their thirst for power.
To help you understand what really happened in the most recognizable place of the Holocaust in the early 1940s, we created the tour that will allow you to see the barracks, crematoria, and gas chambers which Nazis used for the mass extermination of women, men, children, and elderly who weren’t able to do hard labour after an exhausting journey in cattle wagons. We won’t miss the exhibitions with personal belongings, objects of everyday use, and pictures of individual prisoners. Since the war ended and the museum was opened for the public, millions of people have come here to pay tribute and shed tears over the innocents who perished in Auschwitz and Birkenau. All of us, without exception, should brace up and pay a visit to this sobering place for the sake of future generations to make sure no one forgets what hatred and totalitarian regime result in.
Krakow Salt Mine Tour
Krakow Salt Mine Tour
Standard itinerary for the Comfort Tour
16:00 - 16:45 Pick up & Transport
Subject to changes depending on the Museum guide's availability
Afternoon pick-up around 16:00, depending on your location and 45 min journey to the Salt Mine
16:50 - 18:50 Tour
Visitors enter the Mine descending a 380-step staircase to Level 1 (135 metres below ground level). You walk around the mines and corridors accompanied by the licenced guide. The return to the surface is by lift.
19:00 - 19:45 Transport back to Krakow
You will be dropped off at your accommodation or by the Market Square if requested
Our tip
The temperature in the Mine, though constant, is rather low +14 ‘C (57 F). That's why even in the summer time we advise to take warm clothes.
Walking down the mine can be hard for some people. Remember that you have to pass over 380 steps to reach a depth of 135 meters. It’s worth the sacrifice to see it all, but mind your health and take comfortable shoes.
Please note
If your accommodation is located within the city centre area with limited access for vehicles such as: Rynek Glowny, Szewska St, Slawkowska St, Jagiellonska St, Grodzka St, Golebia St as well as Kopernika St and Szlak St. your pick up will be from an assigned convenient meeting point.
Our pick up service covers the Old Town and Jewish district Kazimierz area.

Very smooth transitions. We had the same driver for both journeys and part of the tour day. The breakfast and trips were excellent. We have tried hard to think of something which could be improved upon but really cannot think of anything.
