Great way to see two locations in one day! - I would highly recommend this tour to others. The van picked us up right at our hotel. It was a small group tour, the drivers were friendly and efficient. They got us into Auschwitz before the larger crowds.

The best ways to visit both places at the same day! - We had a wonderful experience! They pick up and drop point was very convenient, everything was beautifully organized for both events and the guides were excellent! I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to visit both places at the same day, with an informative guide!

Overall great experience and well worth the trip - Such a great day! Our driver was Michael and he was 10/10. We were a little worried that it was going to be emotionally tough going to the salt mine after Auschwitz but we had an hour 20 min ride to get there so we were able to nap and reset our emotion. Michael was eager to answer any questions we had and was so welcoming and sweet. The bus we took was nice and spacious too! Excellent day, well worth the money!

Well organised - Well organised and informative guides. Thomasz our driver gave us clear instructions of how the days activities would go including how long each was. Lunch was nice we got a sandwich, a chicken pasta, chocolate bar and water which was plenty. Overall a good well organised trip, I would recommend.

Emotional but long - First half of trip. Good guide. Salt mine too long, but good guide. Lunch: Good gf salad. 2 large apples was a bit odd. Also chocolate WAFER biscuit included which could not possibly be gluten free.
