Absolutely fantastic transportation from Peter, could not fault one part of our day

Karen – United Kingdom

I travelled as an adult with my 15 year old twins so I wanted security in knowing the transport and day was organised well. It was faultless. Michal our driver was on time and friendly. He ensured we got into the salt mine and what to expect and where he would be on leaving. Jacob our guide for Auschwitz and Birkenhau was very knowledgeable, answered questions politely and chatted with us between the planned talks whilst walking. It was clearly a great interest for him and he showed enormous empathy to the Holocaust victims/ survivors too. The information he gave was easily understandable regardless of your prior knowledge. Thanks so much for the day.

Full description

After being collected from your accommodation, you will board an air-conditioned minivan to KL Auschwitz 1. Walk through the iron gate bearing the notorious slogan "Arbeit Macht Frei", which translates to "Work Sets You Free". You will see the 22 brick barracks where hundreds of thousands of victims of the Holocaust were housed.

After the visit to KL Auschwitz 1, you will travel once again in the minivan to KL Auschwitz 2 Birkenau. This part of the camp is 25 times larger than Auschwitz 1, and it was the largest of all the death camps.
You will receive a fresh box lunch with 2 bread roll sandwiches (meat or vegetarian) an apple, banana, a dark chocolate wafer, still mineral water, and a napkin.

The last destination for your tour will be the Wieliczka Salt Mines, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is an underground city complete with galleries, lakes, chapels, and murals, all formed out of salt. As you descend, you will also see stunning underground lakes. It is sure to be a unique experience to visit this one and only place of its kind in the world.
