Awesome trip in Auschwitz-Birkenau + Salt mine - It was a nice experience seeing Auschwitz and learning more about history. It was heavy to see these structures due their purposes but we learned a lot. Thanks also to our guide Adam who brought us in Salt Mine. This place was amazing. Seeing this mine stars-trucked everyone due to its construction and what has inside. It’s a must!!

Ask for Hubert - he is simply the best! - Hubert picked us up from our hotel in a nice new Mercedes saloon. He was friendly, courteous, professional and very attentive. We could not have asked for anyone better - he truly was a wonderful host, shame about the football team he supports 🤷🏻‍♂️

Great tour and well organised - We booked a trip with Krakow Direct for 10 of us to Auschwitz and the Salt mine. Our drivers were Aleksandra and Andrzej as we needed two cars. They were both absolutely fantastic, really knowledgeable and fun and always on time to pick us up and guide us through next parts of tours. I would not hesitate to recommend or use this company again 5 ⭐️

Well Organized & Great Way To See Auschwitz - Outstanding and well organized tour. Driver showed up on time, had a short video on Auschwitz in the car. Wi-Fi in the car was outstanding. It was a smooth and well organized tour with a great tour guide when we arrived at Auschwitz.

Definitely would recommend - We booked onto this really last minute and they were extremely accommodating. The transport was clean and on time, and picked us up right outside the hotel. The guides and driver were all very knowledgeable. Our driver, Michael, was amazing and made a good trip even better

Outstanding service - Outstanding. Private car driven by Rafa, gorgeous clean car and such a lovely young man. Informed us of travel times and said to let him know if we needed to stop for breaks. Even took us to a shop so we could buy some lunch. Faultless service taking us to the venues and introducing us to guides. He could not have done any more for us he was excellent would highly recommend thank you!
