“I’m really grateful I didn’t hesitate to book this experience. Maciej was my driver and it felt like I was going on a road trip with an old friend. His kindness, cleverness, and sense of humor made every minute on the way to, and back from the museum, extremely precious. Once at the museum every thing was pre-arranged so the tour was full of information and it went without interruption. It was worth its price and worth every second. Thank you Maciej for the unforgettable conversation and the memories. I’ll treasure every moment forever. Also, I forgot to mention it, but impeccable taste in music. Unparalleled, truly. Anyone visiting Warsaw…”

One-day drive from Warsaw to Auschwitz-Birkenau with hotel pickup, English group guide, and tickets included. Long day, solid value.

“I was surprised to learn that booking the experience does not guarantee your visit, which is not the tour company’s fault. Auschwitz released a limited number of English speaking guides per day and you are also competing for a spot against others visiting the museum/memorial. I booked the tour over a month prior to my visit date. 3-4 days before, I got a message from Agnieszka asking me to switch days to accommodate the tour. I was unable to switch days, but she made sure I was able to get a spot to tour Auschwitz on my preferred day. I found out about 24 hours prior to my tour that…”

Guided Auschwitz-Birkenau day trip from Warsaw with fast train, hotel pickup, headsets, and transport included. Museum entry included.

“The trip was brilliant and it was for the most part well organised used. The booking information says that the trains are Fast Trains. And the train out in the morning was but it was a very different train on the way home and as such the return trip was close to 4hours long. Which was a lot after being on the road since 5.30am and not getting home until after midnight. All of the other aspects were excellent.”

Warsaw to Auschwitz and Krakow in one long day with early pickup, an English-guided Auschwitz visit, and time to explore Krakow’s main square.

“It was a long day. Felt bad for our driver. But the tour in Auswitz was very good and needed to be heard. Then the trip to Krakow old town was very good. Wish we had a bit more time in Krakow. The day was so long at the camps and without a real rest for a meal, that when we arrived at Krakow, we just wanted to sit and eat something. Nevertheless, found a nice little restaurant and ate dinner (not in the main square) and then enjoyed the walk.”
