Top Service! Amazing Tour Guide! Couldn’t fault! - Couldn’t have chosen a better company to go with for our day trip to Auschwitz! I learnt so much from our tour guide Evelyn, who was happy to answer any questions we had and even explained the topic further on the travel both there and back from the camps. We also made such a good bond with Evelyn due to how comfortable she made the whole group feel. It also rained very heavily while we were exploring the outside camp areas, even thundered, and our tour guide was still happy to carry on the tour. The trip as a whole was very organised and every step including the transfer and taxi went smoothly. Thank you to Evelyn and the team!

Auschwitz tour - The tour is as advertised, you won't be disappointed with the experience. The best part of scheduling with 1000 miles was the driver Tomek who did the hotel pickups. He was a real chatter box, in the brief 15-20 minutes while rounding up the other guest to take us the the main bus, he filled me in with all sorts of advice for visiting Krakow and excellent restaurants recommendations. Also in that time he offered vivid descriptions of what it was like to grow up in Krakow. If you are in Krakow I would suggest booking a tour on your first day because the pick up drivers for 1000 miles are an invaluable resource and will make your stay so much better.

A must if you are visiting Poland - This tour is a must if you are visiting Poland. We went with Thousand Miles as we had booked a few tours with them. They were professional and arrived to collect us at our hotel. The tour itself was very emotional and the tour guide who showed us around the camp was fantastic and took her time explaining the horrors within the camps. This is a long day but well worth every minute, we didn't feel rushed and at the end of the tour we were taken back to our hotel.

Keep looking - Terrible communication! Booked this trip for our entire family, got instant confirmation saying, NO NEED TO CONFIRM, WE’LL CONTACT YOU THE NIGHT BEFORE WITH PICKUP TIME. Great - thought we were good to go. Received email morning before tour saying they may not have enough drivers, may need to change to the next day. Told them OK, either day worked. Went out for the day, got back, got email saying THEY CANCELLED because we didn’t respond in a 2 hour time frame with our guest names THAT SAME DAY….WHAT???? Why not ask the names when booking, or emailing? Now, we have no trip to Auschwitz and head home. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.

Would recommend but not this provider - Would not recommend. Advertised as a private mini van tour. The mini van collects you from your hotel and then you meet at a bus stop with 30 other people which takes you to auschwitz after a 2 hour drive. Despite booking the 9:30am tour we were informed we’d be collected at 13:30pm which was frustrating as we were hoping to be back for the evening. When raising this with the provider they said the times were subject to change, even though the advert states up to one hour earlier or later. The ticket when we arrived was for 16:00pm entry which made us think this was done intentionally. Funny how they couldn’t notify before the 24 hour cancellation cut off. Tour was very rushed.
