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.

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.

சுற்றுலா சுழல் படிக்கட்டில் இறங்குவதுடன் தொடங்குகிறது, பின்னர் உப்புச் சுரங்கத்திற்குள் நடைபயணம் தொடங்குகிறது. வழிகாட்டி எங்களைச் சுவர்களில் உள்ள படிகமான உத்தைத் தொட்டுச் சுவைக்கச் சொன்னார், அங்கு நீரோடை ஓடுகிறது, கைகள் தண்ணீரைத் தொட்டு உலர்ந்த பிறகு கைகளில் உப்பு ஒட்டியிருந்தது, இதன் மூலம் உப்பின் அடர்த்தி எவ்வளவு அதிகம் என்பதைப் புரிந்து கொள்ளலாம். உப்புச் சுரங்கம் அடிப்படையில் ஒரு சிறிய நகரம் போன்றது, அங்கு ஏரிகளும் தேவாலயங்களும் உள்ளன~ நாங்கள் சுற்றுலாவை முன்பதிவு செய்தபோது ஹோட்டலில் வந்து அழைத்துச் செல்வதாகக் கூறினர், ஆனால் முந்தைய நாள் பேருந்து நிறுத்தத்தில் காத்திருக்குமாறு தெரிவித்தனர்; அதிர்ஷ்டவசமாக அது நாங்கள் தங்கியிருந்த இடத்திற்கு அருகில் இருந்தது, நடந்து செல்வதற்கும் வசதியாக இருந்தது.

It was a bit disappointing that some well-known songs, often heard in Japan and easy for beginners to understand, were not played. However, the performance was absolutely wonderful and well worth the time.

I highly recommend to book this trip if you are visiting Warsaw. The best views across Warsaw.

A truly grand, delightful, and unique experience. It's definitely worth visiting and a must-see when you're in Krakow.

The content was substantial, and I learned a great deal. The audio guide was very helpful. Following the guide took about two hours. I think I might have been less tired if I had taken breaks at the restrooms or cafes along the way.

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

While I am not a big fan of piano play. This live performance did provide a quite valuable experience. I enjoyed the entire show. In particular, I highly appreciate the host and pianist’ patience and kindness. Due to errors in finding the location, my group was late for nearly 10 minutes. Thankfully, they waited for us to start. Very impressed.

if you have a limited amount of time in Krakow, this tour is well worth it. I had 3 days in town and this one tour hit 3 items I wanted to do. If you have a bit longer, id recommend spreading the tours out. After Aushwitz, doing Birkenau right after was very heavy. The information was heartbreaking and somber- by the time we got to the Salt mines, I was already so tired. Highly recommend this tour. Staff was very friendly, punctual and accommodating. These tickets also get you to the front of every line, which is a plus!

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.

This tour is highly recommended if you are staying in Krakow for more than 2 days! Tasting the traditional cheese and vodka was a very special experience! The scenery was great too!
