Great trip, brilliant driver, excellent communication - The tour operator was superb. Booked from England and their communication could not be faulted. On the morning our driver - Przemek (pronounced Chemek) - arrived on time. He was amazing. A great driver, to start. Very calm, never felt rushed, explained everything very clearly and he even sorted out a packed lunch for the four of us. He made our day very special and this was worth every penny of the cost. Auschwitz was dreadful and Birkenau horrific. Please do not misunderstand. The tours was interesting, done with great sympathy, but these places have such a dark past and that, for me, just exuded from every footstep. I was here to not forget and to pay my respects. People laughing and joking on the tours and the walks around these camps seemed out of place and inappropriate … but it happened. People talking in areas where the signs asked you to reflect in quiet contemplation and remembrance was common. But none of this detracted from the horrors committed here. Much more of an educational trip than a tourist attraction, I learn’t so much and had many preconceptions corrected. We saw but a fraction of what is here and I would probably come back. The scale of Birkenau was breathtaking. I had no idea at just how vast it was. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was most considerate of the fact that we four were the oldest and slowest in the group. The salt mines are also a must visit. There is a lot of walking - and we would have appreciated a little more warning for the salt mine guide of the final 20 minute walk to the lift to get you back above the ground (because the main shaft had ongoing works). This trip is stunning. The artistry, the cleverness and the construction of the museum is a real wonder. Overall five stars just doesn’t seem to do the day it justice, but it is all I can give. Thank you.

Thought Provoking - Brilliant but thought provoking day first to Auschwitz-Birkenau then on to salt mine. Very professional from booking to tours all tickets sorted brilliant information from our private driver even arranged a fantastic lunch for us. Would thoroughly recommend as was so easy from start to finish.

Well organised, no hassle tour - Did the one day Auschwitz Berkenau and Salt Mine tour at the end of January. The tour was really well organised. Out driver Daniel was very pleasant, punctual and informative. He picked us up and dropped us back to our hotel and took us to a great location for lunch. Would recommend using these guys if intending to visit Auschwitz.

Sad day - Arranged pick up from hotel they play a video of what really happened so sad I got upset before we got there, out of respect we didn’t take any photos it’s a long day lots of walking and very cold, glad we went, the salt mine very interesting lots of steps down great tour not cold only 3 hours

Amazing experience - I booked this trip with get your guide !!! First of all the get the guide driver Mark was amazing and really friendly and helpful would defo book through them again!! The tour was breathtaking and heartbreaking I highly recommend it it was a bucket list must and I was not disappointed in anyway the guide was amazing had so much understanding and and knowledge of auschwitz!!

A day of two very different emotions - Neither of these visits should be missed. Awe inspiring mine workings demonstrating the best of human cooperation, and then the horror of Auschwitz, a salutary lesson which should be a mandatory visit for year 11 schoolchildren across the whole of Europe.

Emotional - Well we where picked up at 8.05 am was phoned the night before to say it will be 8.05 not 8 am. Carnt fault that service. Was a nice bus. Auschwitz is around 1.5hours to the first camp. And them after that it's 5mins to the 2nd camp Auschwitz well... This is a weird place. So much emotion its Deffently a place you have to visit but its so eerie. We had a tour and there are areas you carnt take pictures but them when taking pictures in some areas you just don't feel like it. Auschwitz 2 is the camp with the train line. Yet again it's such a emotional area Yes it's true didn't hear any birds at all. We had our lunch after this. Supplied by the tour.... Not the best if your pickey with food. But areas to buy food. After this it's 1.5 hours to the salt mines... Atmosphere on the bus is weird more quiet. The salt mines a OK trip but lasts 2.5 hours and alot of walking. Gets abit boring as there rushing groups threw with your guide. So it gets to a point your waiting in a que to view a display but you've watching it in a different language while waiting for your go. And the group behind etc. Once you've seen 1 bit off salt the corridors are the same. Best bits the chapple but was good to get your mind off stuff. After that it's 25min back to krakow

Private tour Auschwitz Birkenau and Wieliczka Salt Mine - Even though it was a long day, We were very pleased that both tours were available on the one day. We were driven by Michael, excellent driving, in a very comfortable air conditioned car. Michael spoke very good english and was able to talk to us in detail about the tours. There is nothing that you see at Auschwitz that really shows the reality of what happened, but our excellent guide was very informative. You could feel the emotion in her delivery. It was an honour to visit the place and walk in the steps of those who had perished and pay our respect to them. There were many people there, but it was very well organised. We had a pleasant drive though the countryside to the salt mine. An amazing use of previously productive salt mine. To be seen to be believed. If you come to Krakow, you need to go to Auschwitz and the salt mine is a bonus.

Guided tour - We took a private transfer from our hotel in Krakow which was an excellent choice as our driver guided us to the right location to join our tour. We were on the English tour. On Thursday 10:30 with Natalia who gave us an emotional heartfelt tour, we were lucky to be on her tour. However many films and documenties you watch cannot prepare for the emotion you will feel it is humbling, when we were lucky enough to sleep in our luxurious bed at the end of the day after seeing the conditions of these innocent people both Jews and polish it made us cry. Thank you for our free lives of all those who suffered and fought and thank you Natalia .
