★★★★★Viator review
A memorable experience
Marla_R, October 2026
The tour guide was fabulous. So knowledgeable . . The salt mine was so interesting. The camps were extremely depressing but I believe everyone should have to see and understand so it doesn’t happen again. It is so worth this trip
★★★★★Viator review
Brilliant day trip
Laura_H, October 2026
Incredibly interesting and humbling experience. A very knowledgable tour guide who had such a wealth of knowledge around Aushwitz and an awesome tour guide around the salt mine who made the tour fun as well as interesting also, a great driver for the transfers who kept everyone informed and up to date with the plans. Very well organised and a great day!
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Brilliant
960GS, October 2026
As we were only in krakow for a couple of days we wanted to do both sites in the same day. Booked direct with Mr Shuttle, had no issues, though final pick up time was only confirmed the day before. This was really early at 5.40am from our hotel, in hindsight this was good as we were at Auschwitz for it opening. Our driver was excellent and really helpful. The official guide was excellent and informative going round Auschwitz and Birkenau. The salt mines were amazing, it was a long day but well worth it. 100% would recommend
★★★★★Viator review
Good experience but too rushed.
Michele_P, October 2026
We felt very rushed through it. We were in a group of about 30 and did not have time to read the information. The next tour group was right on our heels and while trying to listen to our guide, the next guides booming voice was louder than the headphone voice. We feel they are running too many people through in a day and it feels like you are being herded as cattle. It would be a better experience if it was slowed down a bit and you could contemplate what you are seeing.
