Guided day trip from Krakow to Auschwitz and Birkenau with transport, headsets, and memorial time, covering Auschwitz I and II.
“The tour was excellent, from the informative video on the way to Auschwitz to the well informed tour guide who gave a very insightful glimpse into the horror that was the holocaust......something that should not be missed by anyone.”
Skip lines to Rynek Underground in Kraków. See medieval streets, stalls, and artifacts under the Main Square with a live guide.
“The Rynek Underground Museum was absolutely fascinating, and our experience was made even better thanks to our guide, Oga. She was incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and engaging, bringing the history of Krakow’s Old Town to life in a way that was both fun and informative. Oga guided us through the underground ruins with ease, explaining the historical context of what we were seeing and pointing out fascinating details that we would have missed on our own. She was very friendly, approachable, and made sure everyone in the group was included and comfortable. Her storytelling really made the past feel vivid and alive — from medieval marketplaces to the everyday lives of…”
English guided visit to Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory museum in Krakow, with skip-the-line access and WWII stories tied to Schindler's List.
“What an experience. Initially we weren't going to go to Schindler's factory but so glad we did. Mateusz was a phenomenal guide. He was so knowledgeabe and willing to answer questions and not rush through or dismiss guest questions because of time restrictions he took his time and was very polite and considerate. The factory doesn't just focus on Schindler himself and Mateusz provided us with background information and tied in where he fitted in with history. Our group was about 10 people and this worked really well because it gave Mateusz time to interact with us. Glad we got in so last minute. If you're going to do this…”

An all-inclusive day from Krakow to Auschwitz and Wieliczka Salt Mine with English guides, hotel pickup, and skip-the-line access.

Enjoy a one-hour Chopin piano recital in Krakow’s Chopin Gallery with a complimentary glass of wine, then stroll Old Town.
“A great experience when visiting Krakow. I would recommend this concert if you appreciate classical music in a casual and welcoming environment.”
Auschwitz-Birkenau day trip from Krakow with early hotel pickup, an on-board history film, and guided visits to Auschwitz I and Birkenau.
“The day went very smoothly. I was picked up at 6 AM (even though booking was for 7 AM) and arrived at 7:30. By 8:00 I entered and joined the group tour. It was so much easier and well worth the money not having to stop at everyone’s hotel on the way there and back. It meant that the day was not nearly as long and tiring as it could have been. After a day at Auschwitz the last thing you want to do is be stuck on the bus for hours. I would highly recommend paying the extra money for the private shuttle service. The first part of the…”

Guided Auschwitz-Birkenau from Krakow with reserved admission, headsets, and round-trip transport for a sobering WWII day trip.
“Communication was good, a phone call and message confirming collection time. We had seen some trips to the camps leaving at 4am due to ticket issues, however we set off at 11:30am. The coach was new, the staff were very good. The guide at the camp was superb. Sad to say a must see for everyone!”
