Well organised tour. Daniel picked us up on time and was very friendly and informative about how the day would run. Eva , our guide at Auschwitz, was great . Very passionate and knowledgeable and always open to answering of any questions. Salt mines are amazing and again our guide was full of information about the history and always welling to talk. We had the lunch through them too which was good value . Would highly recommend this tour

For us, having a Dutch tour guide was important, hence using DutchPoint. This full tour-day is a must if you are interested in the history of WW2. Having a Dutch (experienced) guide from DutchPoint helps you to fully grasp the events which happened in the best. The tour is not for fun, but for a life experience which you will never forget. Even if you would want to...

We did the full day 11 hour tour incorporating Auchwitz, Birkenau and the Salt mines. Very long day but well worth it. Daniel our driver was on time for pick ups, very polite and knowledgeable, he even dropped some guests off at a restaurant of their choice. Comunication from the company was good.
Top tip - Take a packed lunch as the breaks are as and when between tours, we got ours from a local supermarket.

The communication regarding pick up and the option of a packed lunch was great!
The driver was really helpful & knowledgeable and the tour guides were fantastic! (And spoke good English)
Be prepared for a lot of walking, we were shattered by the end of the day but would thoroughly recommend

We booked this tour for Auschwitz-Birkenau and Salt Mine with a local guide from Krakow. This company provided transportation from our hotel to Auschwitz, then to Birkenau, then to the salt mine and back to our hotel. 8 of us in an 8 passenger van.
They were on time and delivered us just fine to each location. I would rate their efforts 4 stars. But the tour company does not accompany you to any sites.
However, the guide we had at the two concentration camps was poor. Extremely difficult to understand when she used the Vox, impossible when she didn't. She had a attitude that she was an old school teacher who took no questions and punished you if you didn't know the answers to her questions. I would rate her a 1.
The guide at the salt mine was very good. 800 stair steps on the tour, most down, elevator at the end to bring you back to the surface.

The all day tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau and the Salt mine was very organized and educational. The communication from our driver, Daniel, in advance of the tour was very good and appreciated. We were picked up at our hotel at the time specified and we preordered a box lunch which was very helpful. The tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau was very educational and the guide did a great job of sharing the difficult subject in a compassionate yet factual manner. The Salt Mine tour was very interesting and allowed plenty of time for pictures throughout the mine. Would highly recommend this tour.

The day overall was enjoyable and extremely well organised. The Auschwitz guide was knowledgeable but delivered the tour as if it was a race and a chore. It felt unemotional and an anti-climax and I struggled to connect with the devasting and traumatic events that took place there. I was a little disabled by a knee injury but the guide wasn't able to pause even one minute for me to catch up with the group which left me feeling embarrassed and a hindrance. The Salt Mines were a revelation. The tour guide was excellent, fun and interactive. The 800 steps and vast area we covered were not a struggle. It was a great end to an exhausting, full day.

Couldn't have asked for a better tour.
We were given 24 hours notice via email and whatsapp as to what time Daniel would be picking us up at and he was fantastically on time and chatty (which was perfect given how early it was on a Sunday!). We were offered to have packed lunches prepped but because my partner is fussy we bought pack-ups the day before from a corner shop.
We were in a small VW people carrier that comfortably held 8 passengers and the driver so we could meet up with the rest of our tour at all the different locations but always returning to the same vehicle to ensure no one got left behind. We were able to leave coats and bag in the van. Nothing felt rushed, we were able to explore at our own pace.
The tours were well planned and very informative. Having the sombre Auschwitz-Birkenau tour first was well thought-out because it gave you the chance to feel the gravity of the atrocities that happened there. I had been before but did really get to feel what happened there. For Auschwitz we were given head phones so there was no guides shouting over each other. At Birkenau there was no need for headset, due to the space and quietness the guides were able to spread out and just talk to you.
The only issue we had was another tour guide at Auschwitz trying to wrangle her tour of teens and cuts ours in half so we had to track down our guide but that's not our guides fault, just the impatient guide in the pink hat and scarf.
Doing the Salt Mines after was perfect, it some horrible way it lightened the mood perfectly.
All in all, would highly recommend.
