We went on a private tour with a small operator (Cracow Sights) run by a delightful ex-pat gentleman from Dorset called Tony Ryan. We were only in town for a few days so opted for the Auschwitz and Salt Mine tour in a day. Given the Covid situation I'm glad that we went with Tony because he arrived, on time, to pick us up in a rather luxurious black Jag. Tony was knowledgeable and courteous, allowing us to take our time at each venue. I would definitely recommend him, and would certainly book him again when we go back. Hopefully in the not too distant future. Cracow Sights can be emailed at: [email protected] if you want to give it a bash.

We had a private tour to austwitz With Poland travel. We were picked up from our hotel in jelenia gora in a private, comfortable, modern van and were driven four hours to austwitz by our polite and friendly driver Michel. Our driver spoke very good English and we had a couple of stops for breaks on the way there and Back. Going to austwitz is very worth it. Visiting the birkenau camp I was surprised to find It’s such a beautiful and peaceful location where such evil and atrocities happened, makes me aware that all those poor beautiful souls are at rest now, thank god. I fully recommend this company. From the secretary Natalia who is very professional and clear in her emails, to the very good driver and transport.

We were picked up on time by Wojciech. He was a fantastic guide. From start to finish we were looked after perfectly. It is quite a long drive but absolutely worth it. The scenery is outstanding. We enjoyed seeing traditional wooden houses and 15th century Church of St Michael the Archangel. Rafting in Dunajec was pleasant. The rafts hold 12 people and it was quite busy. I recommend if you visit Krakow allow yourself 6 days as there is so much to see and do.

Visit Auschwitz and Birkenau in the most appropriate way. During private transportation your driver guide will provide plenty of information and point out important sites on the way strictly related with Auschwitz. Pick up is set early in the morning to arrive before all large group tours. After arrival you driver will explain you where and how to go around. You will also receive a map with recommended route as well as guide book which is not really needed as most of information are on special plaques located every few meteres on the route. Then you will go around Museum on your own pace reading all information as you go around and visit Blocks. You will have up to 2,5 hours in Auschwitz which is 45-60 minutes more in comparison to guided group tour. That means you will see more and have time to contemplate. Once visit in Auschwitz is completed you will have a short break and driver will take you to Birkenau. This Camp is a Memorial and visit there will last no longer than 1,5 hour.
Inclusions: Private transportation, Assistance and historical introduction by your driver guide, Map with recommended route and guide book in English, Entry pass to Auschwitz Museum
Exclusions: WC before entry to Museum - 2PLN per person
