Top 10 Bus Tours in Krakow, Southern Poland
Krakow is one of the most culturally and politically significant cities in Poland. It was the central site of the Nazi General Government during WWII, and there’s still a residual feeling of solemnity here that’s especially apparent during visits to the Plaszow Concentration Camp and the Oskar Schindler Factory. Both the Historic City Centre and the Jewish District are brimming with cafés, shops, and pubs, and the 10-acre Main Market Square is a medieval feast for the senses.

This was very well arranged, they contact you to confirm pick up time and let you know if they will be slightly early/late. The cars were very clean and tidy, they explained everything about what will happen on arrival at the events and were very friendly, helpful and talkative. I highly recommend using this company. We also used this firm to do the salt mine tour and our transfers to and from the airport. Thank you lads, you helped us have an even better holiday.

Such a humbling experience to visit, although was a key reason why we visited Krakow. So much of it is left to see & the feeling of walking through the gas chamber was eerie. Our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable, helpful & friendly. We appreciated her knowledge & pace of the tour. There were a number of times where we were asked to be respectful & remain silent in certain parts, which really made me think about what happened there. Whilst what happened there was tragic, the tour and information was fantastic. It was split across 2 separate sites & as we had our own transport we met our group at the 2nd site, without any issues. If you visit Krakow, this is a must trip! Given the history of this place, it wasn't quite what I expected. It was humbling & just made us appreciate life a bit more.

From start to finish this tour was outstanding. For obvious reasons it was an emotional and shocking day but a part of history that should never be forgotten. Our tour guide was fantastic (sorry, I cannot remember her name), the way she explained everything gave us a clear understanding. I took my teenage girls with me and they didn't want to say they 'enjoyed' the trip due to the nature of Auschwitz but it certainly will stay with us for a very long time. The communication and organisation of this company means we highly recommend them. many thanks for such an informative day. We went in December 2019 before Covid. Posting this review late. Sorry.
