We originally booked the salt mine tour with AT, and ended up additionally booking Aushwitz. Rafael went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience whilst visiting both. We were also able to continue to the airport from one of the trips which made our situation so much easier. Would definitely recommend

Our family spent several days in Krakow in the safe and very friendly hands of our most knowledgable and highly skilled driver Alek. He was prompt collecting us from the apartment, and he had a unique knowledge of his city and homeland. Alek added considerable value to the trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau, and was very patient with our granddaughter. On the following day he drove us to the Salt Mines in very difficult weather conditions . On the last day he took me to the shooting range, and afterwards showed me the picturesque lake and facilities of Krakow Bagry. Both his reliability and dependability ensured that our trip to Krakow was a complete success. We would highly recommend the company he works for namely 'Welcome in Krakow'. We hope to return to the city and avail ourselves again of the company's and Alek's expertise. Brilliant!

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.

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.
