This is a great tour and highly recommended if you are visiting the Schindler factory, Ewa our guide was so knowledgeable and she brought the whole era to life, you could almost imagine being there....the subject is very sobering and emotional but something everyone should experience if they can.. Thank-you Ewa for a wonderful tour. Andrew & Angela x

We were picked up from the hotel on time and received the tickets for the German tour on site. The salt mine is really impressive. Our German guide was just great (thanks Stanislaw:-)) This excursion is highly recommended. The pick-up from the salt mine and the return to the hotel also went smoothly.

We had an excellent time. Tomas was very entertaining. He shared some of the stories surrounding Kraków’s past with an enthusiastic knowledge. Highly recommended tour.

a little expensive all the same compared to the cost here, otherwise very nice visit!

Magda was an excellent guide! Great value and even better food.
