Krakov Jednodenní výlety

Velmi velký, velmi pěkný a jedinečný zážitek. Něco, co stojí za to a co musíte navštívit, když jste v Krakově.

It was great that the meeting point was easy to find. The gathering place was also easy to understand. It was very valuable to visit such an important historical site for learning about ancient history. The guide was also very clear and easy to follow.

Prohlídka začala sestupem po točitém schodišti a poté pokračovala procházkou solným dolem. Průvodce nám dovolil dotknout se krystalické soli na stěnách a ochutnat ji. Byla tam tekoucí voda a po zaschnutí rukou po kontaktu s ní zůstala na rukou sůl, což svědčí o vysoké koncentraci. Solný důl je v podstatě malé město, s jezery a kostely. Původně bylo při rezervaci zájezdu řečeno, že bude zajištěn odvoz z hotelu, ale den předtím nám bylo oznámeno, že máme čekat na autobusové zastávce. Naštěstí to nebylo daleko od našeho ubytování a bylo snadné tam dojít pěšky.

This was my first solo trip to Poland. I was debating whether to go until the day before, but then I thought I might not get another chance, so I looked for a tour. Of course, there were no openings anywhere the day before, and I was about to give up when I found this tour on Klook! I was incredibly lucky because there were tours departing every hour from 7 AM to 2 PM. Immediately after booking, I received the voucher with the meetup location, which was across the street from the Mercure Hotel. I was picked up at 9 AM. On that day, I was the only person on the tour. I got into the car, and the driver took me to Auschwitz, which was about a 1.5-hour drive. The driver was very careful. Upon arrival, the driver handed me a paper ticket, and I went to the counter. There, I received a sticker with the guide's language and time. Mine was for the 10:45 AM English session. I said goodbye to the driver before the security check. We could communicate via WhatsApp. When I informed him that the tour was over, he came to pick me up right away. The tour was a group of about 20 people, and we walked through Auschwitz and Birkenau. We traveled between Auschwitz and Birkenau by free shuttle bus. After visiting Auschwitz, there was a 15-minute break, which was when we could use the restrooms. The women's restroom was very crowded, so it was a tight squeeze. I was the only solo participant on the tour, and coincidentally, I was also the only Asian person. The guide explained everything in a consistently calm and factual manner. There were no dramatic presentations or videos. However, what happened there could be understood from the pictures, photographs, artifacts, and remaining buildings. Taking photos and videos was allowed, but there were some restricted areas, so I recommend listening carefully to the guide's instructions and visiting with respect. Since there's a lot of walking, comfortable shoes, rain gear, and water are essential. It was early July, but it was cold, so I also recommend bringing a jacket. On the way back, the driver asked where I wanted to be dropped off (perhaps because I was alone?). He dropped me off at the same kiss-and-ride spot as the pickup, and I explored the Old Town before heading back. If you're coming all the way to Poland, I highly recommend visiting. You can definitely go alone; in fact, I think going alone allows you to engage with the experience more sincerely without unnecessary chatter.

Great experience. Please remember to bring an umbrella and some fan during summer. The second part of the tour has no shade at all

Pokud máte v Krakově omezené množství času, tato prohlídka se rozhodně vyplatí. Měl jsem ve městě 3 dny a tato jediná prohlídka pokryla 3 věci, které jsem chtěl vidět. Pokud máte trochu více času, doporučil bych rozložit prohlídky. Po Osvětimi bylo navštívit Březinku hned poté velmi náročné. Informace byly srdcervoucí a ponuré – v době, kdy jsme dorazili k Solným dolům, už jsem byl tak unavený. Tuto prohlídku vřele doporučuji. Personál byl velmi přátelský, dochvilný a vstřícný. Tyto vstupenky vás také dostanou na začátek každé fronty, což je plus!

Patryk je fantastický řidič! Velmi ohleduplný a zodpovědný při rozvozu všech zpět do jejich původních hotelů.

Cesta do Zakopaného proběhla velmi hladce, od vyzvednutí až po odvoz. Průvodce Niko byl velmi informativní a zábavný. Jediné, co se mi nelíbilo, bylo, že Zakopané bylo velmi přeplněné a plné prodejců, a to samé platilo i pro termální bazén, který byl prostě přelidněný.

Very informative tour with a great tour guide, Krzysiek, who was with us from meeting point till the end. Communication was timely and well organised.
