Well organised trip with good host - Worthwhile trip to a sombre place. Pick up and comms were perfect, and concise info given. Our tour guide Philipe was on hand to answer any questions and informed us of all the necessary details regarding the the visit. Nice comfortable coach trip as well. Thank you

Salt Mine and Concentration Camp Tour - Really intense and meaningful experience. Auschwitz-Birkenau is a very touching and sad visit, but fundamental to understand and not forget history. The Salt Mines, on the other hand, were a beautiful discovery: a fascinating and surprising place, well-kept and well organized. Two very different experiences, but both absolutely recommended.

Really interesting day - Really interesting day from start to finish. We chose the two activities in one day to free up more time in krakow the rest of the time we were there. Our Auschwitz guide, Chris, was excellent. Very knowledgeable and painted a real picture of how life was in the camps. The salt mines were a good contrast after a heavy morning and are well worth a visit. It’s unreal how it’s all carved out. The only watch out is we booked via get your guide and it asked what time we wanted to start the tour. The start time ended up being 2 hours earlier (5.15am!) - not sure why they offer a time slot if there’s no chance of meeting it. Someone on our tour had selected 8am so 5am for them was a madness. I don’t blame the tour company for this, but get your guide should probably update their website options. Just a watch out for if you’re flying in the day before (we thankfully weren’t) - you might want to give it a day to acclimatise before you book such an early trip out - it’s a very long day.

Good on tour, bad on transfer - The excursion was undoubtedly emotionally felt with a tremendous sadness, seeing from close, what the people, who passed there....horrors massacres. However, our bad experience was, with the driver of the pick-up in the morning of the tour. We know that the schedules are to be followed strictly,in these tours,because there are other people and transportations waiting for us. However, the lack of education, arrogance, aggression of said Mr. was the drop of water for our 5 minutes late at the hotel door. When we apologize by the delay, the answer was "there are no excuses" just missed to beat us an authentic BESTA

Mismanagement - The wonderful trip. The management is bad because we were modified last minute and had 2 excursions contracted and the second have cancelled it due to lack of time so they must proceed to the refund

CAUTION WITH RESERVATIONS IN THIS COMPANY - Very disappointed with the management. They confirmed a reservation for 7 people and cancelled it 48 hours earlier with no alternative. The explanation received (lack of available guidance) evidences poor internal planning that moves the client. We have initiated formal action before European consumer bodies. I recommend caution to future customers who rely on closed dates on their trip.

Booked 2:55 PM — forced to 10:45 AM — no refund - We booked a 2:55 PM Auschwitz tour and planned our travel around that time. The company then changed the meeting time to 10:45 AM the day before, making it impossible for us to attend. When we requested a refund, they refused — even though they were the ones who changed the schedule. Selling one time and forcing a completely different one with no refund feels dishonest and misleading. I would strongly recommend booking with a different company.
