KrakowDirect - Krakow Tours & Auschwitz tour

Wow, Bartosz Janiak was a fantastic driver and guide to take us to and from the Salt Mine. He was safe, polite, and very engaging. We learned a lot from him about Krakow … and also some really interesting stories about how Poland has changed during his lifetime. We would absolutely recommend a tour with Bartosz. Thank you!!

Today Andrzej Niedzwiecki took us to Zakopane, we were totally impressed with his knowledge of there and surrounding areas, we couldn't fault his professional attitude and we can't thank him enough! It was an absolute pleasure and if you book the Zakopane tour with Krakow direct, I'd highly recommend, we're hoping to be back again in December and Zakopane is definitely on the agenda, I will be requesting him again, 5 well earned stars! Thanks again Andrew""

My tour to Zakopané was everything I could have hoped for and more. From the beautiful Polish countryside to the breathtaking mountain range, my guide, Paweł Huzior intentionally designed a day that catered to me and my unique interests.We tasted cheese, hand smoked and crafted from local sheep‘s milk, wandered through a century old mountain village, and witnessed the magic of a local sculptor breathing life into his creations.I particularly love to see churches as they speak so loudly of the lives of the people that they have served for so many years. The regional “folk art” carving that adorn the wooden churches are a refreshing contrast to the gold and gilded fixtures so commonly found. Their beauty is in their simplicity. Charm is the word that comes to mind.Finally, I was led to the trolley car that carried me to the top of that part of the world overlooking the beautiful valley and the Tatsa Mountains. A lively market filled with grilled sheep’s cheese and jam, souvenirs and the clip clop of the horse and carriage carried tourists too tired to finish their stroll.Pawel so willingly answered my constant stream of questions about the Polish culture, their history, their way of life, their religious beliefs and a myriad of other curiosities that I had. I am unsure if you can make a request as to the guide you are given but I would encourage you to try. I can assure you that Krakow, Zakopane and Pawel will not disappoint.

My wife and I picked up at hotel by Alexandra the tour rep private car then very pleasant and informative drive to Auschwitz where we were taken on a guided tour.We then were taken to Birkinau for next part of the tour on way back were shown a beautiful Dominican Monastery then were dropped off at our hotel.A very interesting but also sad excursion would like to thank Alexandra again for such a pleasant journey.

We visited Krakow for the weekend, it was going to be a challenge to fit everything in as we arrived at 9 pm on a Friday so had Sat, Sun, and up to 5 pm on Monday to get everything done.Due to the limited time, I wanted our visit to be as efficient as possible so booked airport transfers, a full day to Auschwitz/Birkenau on Saturday then the Salt Mines and Schindelrs factory on Sunday. We opted for the private car rather than a shared one to ensure we had no reliance on others impacting on timings.From arriving at the airport on Friday Night to heading back on Monday night everything from Krawkow Direct was spot on. Drivers were there before the expected time, courteous, cars were spotless and it removed all of the effort from everything and allowed us to focus on doing the tours.It's the small details, even on the trips the driver made sure we were ok, we knew what was happening, and dealt with tickets, just everything! Nothing was too much trouble for any of the drivers we had. The tour guides on our trips were also great.If you are on a tight schedule like us I recommend letting them take care of all the arrangements for you.Really can't thank the company and their staff enough, it made all the difference to our visit that they were so efficient. I can't recommend them highly enough.

The email communication with customer service was excellent and almost seamless. What’s better was the driver they provided us with for our private Zakopane tour. Przemek Dynski was fantastic. He was funny, informative, engaging and such a great guy to chat with. He absolutely made our last day in Poland so memorable. To anyone looking to book tours or even just an airport transfer, go to KrakowDirect and request for Przemek Dynski. He’s your guy.And thank you team!

Wir haben hier eine Tour nach Ausschwitz-Birkenau gebucht.Buchung/Bezahlung völlig unkompliziert.Der Bus war pünktlich und makellos.Der Zeitplan ist jedoch völlig von Rennerei und Gehetze eingenommen. Wer nicht 80-100%fit ist,ist da aufgeschmissen und sollte diese Tour lieber privat planen.Der Fahrer und unser Guide waren sehr nett und wir konnten mit Fragen zu Ihnen kommen.

As the lead planner for a 4-day trip in Krakow with 75 Canadian coworkers, I dealt with KrakowDirect to organize airport transfers, a city walking tour, an Auschwitz guided tour with boxed lunches and a Salt Mine guided tour. The communication was very easy all along even as we had to request many last minute changes. We received all required information to prepare our visit to Krakow. The service was impeccable. The bus drivers and the guides were very professional, knowledgeable and always courteous. I highly recommend their services to make any trip to Krakow a very unique and enjoyable experience. Thank you Nicole for taking care of our large group and thank you to the whole team for making this trip an unforgettable one for all of us. Bravo KrakowDirect!
