Well worth the trip and money.

Our driver was amazing very accommodating with last minute pickup change. He was also very friendly and nice to talk to. Both guides from Saltmine and Aschwitz were both great. They had personality and knowledgeable. Our Aschwitz guide was very humble and thoughtful for such an emotional experence. He told stories that got most of the group watery eyes and paid great respect to the places. I would recommend 100% and would absolutely go again.

Operator response

It is especially rewarding to know that your driver was able to accommodate your last-minute pickup change and that his friendly and helpful attitude made your journey even more enjoyable. We will be sure to pass on your kind words to him. We are also pleased that you enjoyed both guided tours. It is wonderful to hear that the guides were knowledgeable, engaging, and brought their own personality to the experience. We are particularly grateful for your comments about your Auschwitz guide. Presenting the history of the Memorial with humility, respect, and compassion is incredibly important, and we are glad that his thoughtful storytelling left such a meaningful impression on your group. Thank you for your wholehearted recommendation and for choosing Welcome in Cracow. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Krakow in the future.

Combined trip Auschwitz- Birkenau & salt mines.

We had a wonderful trip- The trip was so well organised, from the moment of booking to the drop off back at our hotel door it was seamless, we were kept well informed with plenty of updates regarding the trip details. The driver Daniel Bara was so professional and friendly, he went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed, he picked us up at our location on time and for the whole day we knew we were in safe hands (big thank you to Daniel, he made the day so enjoyable and was great company) The guide at Auschwitz was very knowledgeable and tailored the tour perfectly. The guide at the salt mines was great too. I don’t think I could suggest any improvements, I will be recommending your company to my friend and relatives when they visit Krakow, we loved it, such a great experience. Thank you for organising such a wonderful trip. 🫶🙌👏.

Knowing that he helped make the experience even more enjoyable truly means a great deal to us. We’re also happy that both guides – at Auschwitz and at the Salt Mines – met your expectations and provided knowledgeable and engaging tours.

Not for people with mobility issues...

The first part was very somber, visiting the Auschwitz camps. The second part to the Salt Mines, was a great experience. However, the amount of walking and stairs involved in a 1 day excursion is hard going, if you have mobility issues. My feet were sore and swollen afterwards, it's a long day, 10 hrs in total... Definitely worth the visit though, but we'd probably do it as 2 separate excursion due to our mobility capability. The tours and staff were very good, very knowledgeable.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing such a balanced and thoughtful review of your day. We’re glad to hear that you found the visit to Auschwitz deeply meaningful and that the Salt Mines provided a contrasting but equally memorable experience. You are absolutely right — combining both tours into one day makes for a long and physically demanding excursion. We truly appreciate you highlighting the amount of walking and stairs involved, especially for guests with mobility concerns. Your honest feedback is very helpful for future travellers when planning their visit, and we completely understand why splitting the tours into two separate days can be a more comfortable option. At the same time, we’re very pleased to know that despite the long 10-hour day, you felt the visit was worthwhile and that our tours and staff were knowledgeable and professional. That means a great deal to us. Thank you once again for your valuable comments and kind words.

Must do

Absolutely a must do……. This is history we all must know and respects should be paid to those who lost their lives tragically at the camps. And the salt mine is unbelievable/so beautiful!! We loved it…… Jacob was our driver all day and he was wonderful! It is a long day and tiring, but so worth it!!
