A must do tour - GR8WAY were absolutely fantastic tour operators, they were very organized with everything from the communication with us prior to the day providing details of pickup and lunch options right through to dropping us back afterwards. Eugene and Thomas were so professional and Eugene was extremely knowledgeable as our main guide on the tour. They were very welcoming and were only too happy to answer any questions we had and assist in any way they could. Thomas was our driver and made the trip a very comfortable one. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone looking for an experience with thorough and explicit information. Both my partner and I are extremely impressed.

Experience not to be missed despite the constant rain. - It's a very interesting experience although it involves quite a bit of walking and it was raining all the time. The tour is worth it over all and good value for money. The driver did not pick us up from the hotel in the end. We were sent a different location becuse we were told that he could not pick us up from the hotel as we originally thought they would. We would also have preferred the driver to be there when the tour finished. Both after Auschwitz and after Birkenau we had to wait for him in the rain. But I would still recommend the tour because in the end these are minor details. The tour is very interesting and I recommend it.

A generally good experience - The very strong accent of the English speaking guide challenged the experience. Too many details and too much information

They like to mess you around - So the experience itself was great but I have to be honest (and this review will be very honest) - I am not sure about the coordination from the company. We had a very late flight into Poland after visiting Prague and Berlin for the week, we only got to our hotel at twenty to midnight. Less than 12 hours before our tour - they contacted us to say that they had to move us from our 10am hotel pick up booking to a 5.10am collection from a bus stop. It was the last thing we needed and as our time in krakow was limited, we had no choice but to agree to this. I had to pay for a taxi to our pick up location, missed our breakfast that we paid extra for and yes, the tour was good and it was a memorable experience but if you read other reviews (there are plenty) and when we spoke to other passengers- the same thing happened to them. I appreciate it's a popular tour but the fact the company offer a 10am hotel pick up option to then tell you (less than 12 hours before) that they're putting you on a 5.10 collection from a random location- It is out of order and i must admit, we were shattered for the rest of the day and although we were back by 2pm, it was basically a write off/chill in the hotel day. The tour operators obviously don't care about what plans you have made, it's there way or the high way. Good tour tho, tour guide was lovely (though quiet even with headsets)

A very moving historic site, which could have been better organized! - This was mostly a good tour, however, there were some disappointments! The pick up time was 5 hours earlier, and the pick up spot was 2 miles away from where we booked! Transport was good. Tour guide had a very weak voice and was often hard to hear!

Be warned about booking this tour! - I am extremely disappointed with this tour company because they cancelled at 8pm the night before and this was the only reason I came to Krakow. I read reviews that suggested this happens regularly, but I had hoped it wouldn't happen to me. Think twice about booking this tour with this company. A very poor performance. I just hope I get a full refund now.

Tour to Auschwitz 12 hours before departure - The trip was cancelled 12 hours before departure - had booked the trip mid-May 2025 - really poor service, you can not count on the tours you book and pay in advance

Really good places to visit good tours but no organisation from the company - The places that I visited was very good but the organisation of it specially the second one didn’t impress me at all. On the previous day I got a message asking to confirm my presence next day but I had bought a 10:10am ticket and they said they would pick me up at 7:20 when I heard this I asked why so early as I wasn’t in krakow for the night. They said that there was no enough people for the 10:0 your so they moved me for the 7:10!! I was away from krakow and had to cancel the hotel where I was and pay for another hotel in krakow in order to be there on time !! It was a big issue for me as I lost a lot of money for not being refunded the hotel where I was going to stay and had to pay for another in krakow!!! Not happy at all
