Long tour - but worth it - This tour makes for a very long day with a lot of walking - but very much worth it. Make sure you have a good breakfast, because the lunch break isn’t until ~14h. The company does offer the purchase (in advance) of a sack lunch.
The guides and tours were excellent. Well worth the price. The below was what I posted about the day on social media;
Today we visited Auschwitz and Birkenau.
Having visited Dachau several times, I thought I was prepared for the emotional shock.
Auschwitz I is large. Auschwitz II-Birkenau is huge. The endless rows of barracks, fences, guard towers, and rail lines make clear that this was not simply mass murder. It was industrialized murder. Planned, organized, staffed, supplied, and carried out with horrifying efficiency.
The displays of the children’s shoes & clothes, left behind luggage, and piles of women’s hair - the rejected materials collected by the Nazi’s but seen as not worth sending to loyalists in Germany. They floored me. The pictures that the Germans took of their inhuman processes - I still can’t process why and how.
Reading about it and seeing it are two different things. Standing where the trains arrived, walking the grounds, and seeing the remains of what was built there leaves a lasting impression that no book or documentary can fully replicate.
At the far end of Birkenau, near the ruins of the crematoria, a plaque reads:
“For ever let this place be a cry of despair and a warning to humanity, where the Nazis murdered about one and a half million men, women, and children, mainly Jews from various countries of Europe. Auschwitz-Birkenau, 1940-1945.”
Everyone should visit at least one of these places if they have the opportunity. Not to dwell on the past, but to understand how ordinary people and institutions can be led to accept the exclusion, dehumanization, and persecution of others. These sites are reminders that the process begins long before the violence. It begins when people believe that some human beings are less than human.

An Unforgettable and Deeply Meaningful Day - The day was long but both stops we We started early with the visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau, and I cannot recommend it highly enough as an experience every person should have at least once in their lifetime. Our guide was knowledgeable, respectful, and handled the weight of the history with real sensitivity. After a lunch break, we headed to the Wieliczka Salt Mine. A word of honest advice: this is a long day. You'll be on your feet for most of it, and between Auschwitz and the mine there is a significant amount of walking including many stairs at the mine.

Auschwitz and Salt Mine Tour - Our guide/advisor Julia was very helpful. The pickup location was convenient, 5 minutes from our hotel. I highly recommend everyone to do this tour because it’s 2 tours in one. Make sure to take snacks with you.

Fantastic tour of Auschwitz and the Salt Mines - We had an excellent experience with our tour guide, Yulia. She was very organised, friendly, and made everything easy from start to finish. The tours to Auschwitz and the Salt Mines were both extremely well planned, with clear instructions and smooth transport throughout the day.
Highly recommend this tour company and especially Yulia for anyone visiting Auschwitz and the Salt Mines!

Everything was correct except for what was explained earlier. - I visited the Auschwitz concentration camp and salt mines on the same excursion. After finishing the visit to the concentration camp, we were informed that a minibus would take us to the salt mines in 15 minutes. During that time, we took the opportunity to eat something quickly. No one informed us that when the bus would drop us off at the salt mines, we would have an hour and a half of free time before entering; we would have eaten more calmly and without stress then.

Don’t book via SuperCracow. Tour itself fantastic. - The trip itself was great but SuperCracow not. They offered a selection of tour pickup/start times. We booked 4months in advance and chose latest possible hotel pickup at 9am. The day before we were told pickup changed to 5.20am, no other option and they would not return us to hotel (only krakow centre sonewhere), as booked. If only they hadn’t offered start times they could have managed our expectations better but this ruined our plans the evening before and . The guides at Auschwitz and salt mines were excellent but have nothing to do with SuperCracow, who merelt take your booking and arrange transport - poorly! I would recommend the tour, but not SuperCracow booking company.
