Auschwitz was established in 1940 It was the biggest Nazi concentration camp for Poles and prisoners from other countries. They were condemned by the hitlerite fascism to isolation and slow extermination by hunger, exhausting work, criminal experiments, or to a quick death as a result of individual and mass executions. A place definitely worth seeing.
Wieliczka Salt mine Is a priceless historical monument of the world's material culture and the only open mining facility in the world working continuously since the Middle Ages.

This was industrial tourism. Too fast, too many in a group. Not enough time to experience the sites. Way too much walking. Our “ guide was nothing but a driver and not at all interested in enhancing the experience. No information beyond the tour script of the site guides.

Did the joint tour and had Jacob as our guide for Auswitz. A very knowledgeable guide who delivered a very detailed yet sensitive tour. It should be visited by everyone to ensure that we never forget mans inhumanity to man. The salt mines were just amazing and so worth the time to visit. We did the joint tour on our last day knowing it was going to be long but the pick up for Auswitz changed from 6.30 to 5.40 and the salt mines tour started at 3.15. It made a very long day as didn't get into mines till 4.30 and should have taken us 3 hours but after the tour we didn't do the museum as we were shattered! There was almost 3 hour break in between so be mindful of that and plan accordingly. If you are there for enough time it may be worth doing separate days to get the best out of the latter tour. The communication from this company was excellent and everything on time. Recommend using them.

excursion booked, and paid for, one month in advance. The evening before the event, the tour is cancelled, an email with scant explanations. The other groups leave regularly, so they wrote lies to us. Dozens of phone calls, and chat messages, so much more waste of time. In very unpolite ways they tell us that they will do nothing to find us another similar tour. They are unreliable, rude, incompetent. Never again

The tour, albeit understandably somber due to the location, was outstanding. Prior to our departure our guide (Grzesiek) contacted us via WhatsApp to confirm our booking, pick up location, and to provide us an opportunity to purchase a lunch during the tour. On the day of the trip, Grzesiek was punctual and provided us with all of the information we needed. I highly recommend this service to people looking to visit this memorial site.

Organised to perfection.
The day started with a trouble free pick up at 7am. Our driver was outstanding throughout the day . We Arrived at Auschwitz before the long queues started and allotted a tour guide who took us between the two camps . He was so Sensitive , respectful and delivered the information with dignity and empathy . A day that all 8 of us are never going to forget .
We had a contrast for the afternoon when we were taken to the salt mine. Again smooth process from arrival when our driver handed us to the guide . Amazing, a trip certainly worthwhile . Combining three in one is well worth it

Our guide Barbara during Auschwitz-Birkenau was knowledgeable and respectful and provided great information while on site. Our driver Daniel explained all instructions very clearly and reached out early for pick up instructions and lunch options. The salt mines were amazing and well worth a long day. It does become a long day, however it is not overly taxing and finishing at the wonderful salt mines offsets the emotional visits to the camps.

This is a must do trip! The communication between us and the tour company was excellent. It was confirmed when and where our driver would pick us up and he was punctual and very friendly . We decided last minute to do the prepacked lunches as they explained Auschwitz only has one coffee shop and its very expensive. Best decision as they provided plenty of tasty food. As somber as it was to visit Auschwitz and Birkenau it was very educational and tastefully presented. We were given headphones to hear our guide throughout the tour and our guide Anna was truly amazing. You could tell she truly cared about the victims and telling their story and was very respectful in doing so.
The salt mine portion was nice. I enjoyed going down in the mine. Don't let the 700 steps intimidate you as there is an elevator to bring you back up. Seeing the beauty of it all is fascinating. Our guide there was good but hard to understand at times.
