Auschwitz is hard but a must when in Krakow. - A very humbling experience but one i feel anyone who visits the area should do. Our driver and guide WALKER was superb and was able to speak about and get points across that are obviously hard to do! Also a shout out to Krakow directs boss for snow tyres on the minibus as Walker was able to navigate the snowy conditions. Thermals and comfy walking shoes a must during winter. I think the winter tour really gives a further perspective on the whole experience.

Tour Company to seriously consider. - If you want to take a tour then this is the Company to go with........great driver on lovely transport, very helpful and informative, and a super informed guide once in the camp. On the way a video was played which was harrowing but taken from factual evidence at the time therefore setting the scene depicting what happened at this camp. A lot of walking, as expected, but a huge boost to our grandsons history knowledge. Highly impressed with this Companys offering of a tour, one to seriously look at if you are considering visiting Auschwitz.

Krakow - I would highly recommend Krakow Direct. We booked via our hotel who have used them, great communication. The trip was brilliant along with our tour guide for Auschwitz Birkenau Guided Tour. The lady (apologies I forget her name) was very informative and even shared her own personal families experiences, which made the experience even more touching. My husband also left his phone on the mini bus when we got back to our hotel. The hotel contacted the driver who returned the phone to the hotel for us. Fantastic service all round and I'll be using this company again when I return the Krakow.

Auschwitz and Birkenau tour - Tour guide/coach driver Michael was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had booked 11am tour but was moved to 1pm which due to short notice we had no choice but to attend. This seems to happen quite a lot so do t make any other plans for that day. never the less everything ran to time and we arrived back in the Old Town at 8pm. Lots of opportunity’s to eat and drink from beginning to end. Auschwitz was very busy with lots of other tours but this could be the norm for a Saturday. Plenty of toilets and vending machines at Auschwitz as well as a restaurant. Very uneven/stoney ground for people with mobility issues at both sites. But all in all we had a great day very poignant and we learnt so much thanks to the knowledge of Michael.

Must do tours in Krakow - Booked both the Auschwitz/Birkenau and salt mine trips through Krakow direct. As mentioned when booking, they emailed me the day before to confirm the time of pick up. Both drivers were super friendly and arrived promptly. The tour guides were also very knowledgeable, especially Nicholas, an ex-miner in the salt mine who was good fun. It was also a bonus to be able to join a walking tour of the old town for free which we did on our first night.
