クラクフ発アウシュヴィッツ・ビルケナウプライベートツアー

This was a private tour and well worth paying the extra. Our driver was very knowledgable and gave us lots of information on the way. Very comfortable clean vehicle. Our guide around Auschwitz-Birkenau was superb and because we were such a small group of 3 we were able to get so much information. Also avoided the queues. I would recommend this tour.

Spent almost $600 Australian dollars on tickets and changed my whole itinerary just to go to Auschwits. My ticket was for a small private group of 1 - 7 people. This has been confirmed with GetYourGuide I paid over double to what the other people in the tour paid and then we were all just carelessly thrown into tour groups of 30+ people. When I raised my concerns I was told I’m wrong, I booked the wrong thing. So to break it down. I paid $600 for a 1.5 hour car ride there and 1.5 hour return. With 5 other people who paid €827 in total. It’s roughly $55 AUD for a ticket and entry. So they are charging approx $535 for a 3 hour car ride a bottle of water and a snack. Thats $178 an hour. Just to drive 3 hours and carelessly throw customers who paid for a small tour with 30+ other people and then do nothing about it. I was happy to pay the extra money because I expected for this experience to be sobering, intimate and meaningful however this clearly wasn’t the case. The providers attempted to offer me lifts to the airport which they charge $30 for however I already had one booked and they offered a “tour of Krakow but Unfortunately this ruined my experience of Krakow and Auschwitz 1 and 2 and I just wanted to get home. I have not yet been offered any compensation from the company, so I’ve had to go through GetYourGuide to request it. When talking with Alija in person after I told her how unhappy I was and my concerns she got defensive and stated “I already know what I’m going to show GetYourGuide so it’ll be fine” You think a tour group that has been operating for about 10 years would have better code of conduct and ethics then to try scam their customers.

A colleague and I took a private tour with Alicja and I would highly recommend her service. She was on time, professional and really knowledgeable about the area and its history. We had a lot of questions for her and she answered them all in great detail and enthusiasm. She also brought us snacks and took us to a cafe where she recommended local specialties which we very much appreciated. She also added stops to the tour that we asked for and you can easily work with her to modify what you'd like to see and where you'd like to spend time. We picked up a number of books at the bookstore in Auschwitz-Birkenau which she recommended and they've been excellent (and would have been hard to find at home). Wonderful, though understandably difficult visit and I've already recommended her to a friend who will be in Krakow in August.

Let me just start by saying that Alicja is simply amazing - she took care of every small detail and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and comfortable every step of the way . We did Auschwitz-Birkenau on a 6 Hour private guided tour with a “bite of Krakow” thrown in by Alicja afterwards - and everything she planned out for us for just outstanding. If you are visiting Krakow and looking for a guide, she would be the only option in my book.

We had Alicja as our private tour guide for our two days in Krakow and it was a wonderful experience. Her knowledge of the city and its history was excellent and her pleasant and warm personality made our trip a memorable one. We want to go back already! Thank you Alicia.

Alicja at Krakow4you was fantastic! We first met her with our private tour to Auschwitz-Birkenau. My husband and I were traveling with my elderly parents. She is so personable, friendly and caring. We hired her to take us the next day to my Great Grandmothers village when she was a young girl. Even on short notice, Alicja had found a small museum to visit to see furnishings, tools and clothing that would from that time period. She also managed to let us talk to the priest of the local Catholic church. He offered to search for family records. She drove us around the village and let us walk around. It was amazing to know we were in the same village as my Great Grandmother, even though decades apart. Alicja made it very clear that she was there for us, anything we needed, just ask. We can't say enough good things about her and our time with her.

What a great experience! Alicja picked us up at the hotel in the morning and took the entire day explaining European history, WWII, Auschwitz I and II and then to Krakow for history and food. She supplied snacks and water as well. It was absolutely incredible how much she knows down to the exact date, and reasons for historical occurrence. We got to know her as an individual too, she is very intelligent and speaks several languages from Polish, Russian, English, and Spanish (probably some more I don't know about as well). She can drive around Poland for hours and tell you anything. Book a tour, tell her what you want to see, and then get ready to learn!

We had a wonderful time with Alicja! She is a powerwoman! Thanks to her advice of leaving as early as possible (for us 6.30 am) we arrived at Auschwitz before the big crowds. During the drive we got an extensive history lesson ;) about Poland, communisme, the end of communism etc. Alicja is so knowledgeable about Polands history, unbelievable! She handed us over to a guide from Auschwitz as private guides are not allowed to do tours at the concentration camp. Evelyn was ok but you felt that this was a job for her, we got headphones to hear her better, which turned out to be good. Although she was our private guide for the three of us, she kept on walking talking through the headset, and it felt kind of listening to someone reading a book, detached, which was a pity because I don’t think you can talk about Auschwitz and what happened there in a monotonous tone. But this wasn’t Alicjas fault of course, you get a guide, you cannot choose one. After the tours in Auschwitz and Birkenau Alicja took us to a wonderful restaurant for a polish lunch and explained what we were eating, how things were made, why they are important in Poland. After lunch, she took us to the old Jewish quarter of Krakow where we did a 1,5 hour tour. Very nice neighborhood! All in all we had a great time with Alicja and we can only recommend her for this trip!

We went with Alicja ( in a very comfortable car) to Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Salt Mines and the Jewish Quarters. Alicja is very knowledgeable and passionate about her country and the history. She knows a lot more then just some guide and she treated us like VIPS!! It is not the question if we go back but when we go back! And we will certainly call Alicja.

A childhood friend and I decided to make the trip to Auschwitz. We came to Kraków for three day specifically to see this dark period in history. I had studied human genocide in some classes in university but nothing can prepare you no matter how much you think you already know. Alicja picked us up from our hotel and our journey began. There’s so much I didn’t know, so much to take in, and so much to think about. Alicia was amazing. She knew so much and answered so many questions... she was so honest and so warm as a person. It can be overwhelming at times and She was the perfect person to head our tour. I can not recommend this enough. I will be back with my stepkids when they’re a bit older. And I will be contacting this company and requesting her again. Thank you for being apart of this emotional day.
