Tekemistä paikassa Krakova

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.

Very convenient tour - the driver picked us up from a very central location in Krakow and dropped us off right outside the salt mine entrance. We then joined the tour organised by the salt mine and it looks impressive inside!

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

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.

Jos sinulla on rajallisesti aikaa Krakovassa, tämä retki on ehdottomasti sen arvoinen. Minulla oli kolme päivää aikaa kaupungissa, ja tällä yhdellä retkellä sain hoidettua kolme asiaa, jotka halusin tehdä. Jos sinulla on hieman enemmän aikaa, suosittelisin jakamaan retket useammalle päivälle. Auschwitzin jälkeen Birkenaun tekeminen heti perään oli erittäin raskasta. Tiedot olivat sydäntäsärkeviä ja synkkiä – suolakaivoksille päästyämme olin jo niin väsynyt. Suosittelen tätä retkeä lämpimästi. Henkilökunta oli erittäin ystävällistä, täsmällistä ja mukautuvaista. Nämä liput vievät sinut myös jokaisen jonon eteen, mikä on plussaa!

Patryk is a fantastic driver! Very considering and responsible in driving everyone back to their original hotels.

Matka Zakopaneen sujui erittäin sujuvasti noudosta jättämiseen asti. Opas Niko oli erittäin informatiivinen ja hauska. Ainoa asia, mistä en pitänyt, oli se, että Zakopane oli hyvin ruuhkainen ja täynnä myyjiä, ja sama koski myös kuumavesiallasta, joka oli aivan liian täynnä.

Tämä retki on erittäin suositeltava, jos olet Krakovassa yli 2 päivää! Perinteisen juuston ja vodkan maistelu oli todella erityinen kokemus! Maisemat olivat myös upeat!

Varasimme Klookin kautta KrakowDirectiltä. Kuljettaja MATT oli fantastinen. Suolakaivokset olivat upeat ja opas siellä oli todella hyvä. Auschwitz oli kokemus, ja opas oli hyvä Auschwitz I:ssä. Valitettavasti Auschwitz II-Birkenaussa sää näytti siltä, että sataisi, ja opas ei selvästikään halunnut olla ulkona (vaikka muut oppaat jatkoivat). Niinpä hän lyhensi matkaa ja vei meidät vain naisten parakkeihin, lyhentäen kierrosajan vaivaiseen 20-30 minuuttiin. Kahdesti hän kysyi, halusimmeko vain lähteä emmekä tehdä kierrosta, useat meistä vastustivat ja kysyivät, voisimmeko mennä itse, ja hän sanoi, että se oli meistä kiinni. Menimme yksin, mikä tarkoitti, että jouduimme kokemaan muistomerkin ilman oppaan tietoa ja näkemystä.
