“We walked to a meeting point as the transport did not pick up from our hotel. We were expecting a coach or minibus (previous day had been to Auschwitz on minibus) but was picked up by a car/van for 6 people. The tour guide checked us in but as the other passengers had already been picked up at their hotels (i assume) there was only a seat in the back of which my wife had to climb into and one in the the next row where I sat (we couldn’t sit together on a 2 hour road trip) which was disappointing. We both had to sit with strangers but fortunately…”

“A long, but interesting and brilliant day. I would advise a good sleep the night before given the length of the day and the amount of walking though! We really enjoyed the day and we found our driver, Pawel, very hospitable and kind. The day was well organised and thought out. The salt mines are particularly awe-inspiring and are a must-do in our opinion”

6.1 Day Trip Auschwitz Birkenau and Salt Mines with Hotel Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 652 reviews · 10 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $117

Guided Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka Salt Mine day trip from Krakow with hotel transfer, headsets, and skip-the-line tickets.

“All in all it was a good excursion, although it did feel somewhat "commercialized".... the day we went it was very cold and windy, with a wind-chill almost hitting -10 degrees celsius. I would recommend dressing warmly if you are going during the winter months. Lots of walking, and with the uneven surfaces ensure you are wearing good footwear for all conditions. The definite highlight to the trip was a visit to the salt mines! Our tour guide was fantastic, and what an incredible experience!”

One long day from Krakow to Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka Salt Mine, with hotel pickup, guided tours, and round-trip transport included.

“We started very early, with pick up from our accommodation at 5:50am. Having said that, this meant we got to Auschwitz ahead of the traffic and queues. Our driver was also the tour guide for Auschwitz and he was very good. Very sensitive and knowledgable. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see Birkenau due to the icy conditions so got to the Salt Mines earlier than planned. I must say after the morning at Auschwitz, the Salt Mines were not the highlight of the trip. However, the tour guide and service was great, with door to door pick up. There is a lot of walking but value for money with a…”

A 7-hour guided day trip from Krakow to Auschwitz-Birkenau with pickup, Italian guide, camp artifacts, and Birkenau memorials for $83.

“Organizzazione perfetta, trasferimento puntuale e confortevole su bus da turismo. La guida è stata esaustiva raccontando i punti salienti della storia purtroppo è a noi nota. La visita è avvenuta in una giornata fredda e nervosa, il che ha reso ancor meglio l'idea, (si fa per dire) di quanto sia stata difficile ed insostenibile la vita dei deportati. La visita è un'esperienza che nella vita tutti dovremmo fare almeno una volta.”
