“Do not use Viator! We had a tour of Auschwitz booked and paid for for our family. No reply to all our messages beforehand, on the day of the trip nobody turned up at our hotel (as arranged) to take us on our tour. Viator said they will request that the tour operator refund our €400, but cannot guarantee that! Don't use Viator, terrible customer service and communications, waste of time and they basically steal your money.”

Guided Krakow to Auschwitz-Birkenau day trip with hotel pickup, transfers, and tickets. Plan for early starts, cold waits, and tight time.
“We are shocked! Our departure time was changed from 8.10 am to 2.20 am after the free cancellation deadline has passed - just a few hours before departure. They justified this saying that there’s a lack of guides in Auschwitz and waiting time would therefore be about 4 hours. As we didn't see this information within 9 hours and hence didn't answer, they unilaterally cancelled our tour with the justification that we haven’t responded on time! We have already paid for 7 persons for the tickets and have received a confirmation. We read in other reviews of the same tour here that this happened to others as well. As them,…”

“From booking the trip to the very end was excellent. Got a message from hello crakow about my booking and an updated message about a time change the day before. 55 min difference but definitely not a problem. Greg our tour organiser messaged the morning of the tour and even rang me making sure we are there. We didn't get transport as got the 304 bus(this was easy) Tour guide was excellent and also understanding to those in the group that were a little slower. Would highly recommend booking with viator. Salt mines were fantastic. Very special place”
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!”
Auschwitz-Birkenau tour from Krakow with hotel pickup, transfer, English-led visit, and timed entry to Auschwitz I and Birkenau.
“This trip was awful from the start. Had to wake up at 2 am for a 3am pickup. I wasn’t mad about the pickup as it is stated in the notes that it is possible to be picked up at this time. We drove to Auschwitz, where, after we were let off the bus, had to wait outside in below freezing temperatures for five hours for admission into the museum. During this wait, I saw the tour operator twice, once being when he “assisted” with buying tickets (he just handed the ticket office our ids and then the ticket fee), and the other time when I asked him for a…”
Door-to-door transfer and an English museum guide for Auschwitz and Birkenau, with skip-the-line entry support from Krakow.
“The tour appeared to be sanitized which may have been the tour guides approach to the subject. I knew more about the subject from documentaries and movies. I felt the venue could have been setup for any disabled and wheelchair visitors. It bothered mmme knowing that for decades visitors struggled to visit the site.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
