Traveler reviews
Highly satisfied
Oh my god! What a trip! Our guide is absolutely 11/10, very much tourist friendly and very much comprehensive in his explanation. This tour is highly recommended.
Mr Shuttle
Couldn't recommend Mr Shuttle enough. Whole trip was amazing from start to finish. Our driver Thomas was so polite everything to schedule, very friendly and helpful. Was Definitely 5 star.
Really well organised trip, with lovely driver/guide.
We were recommended this tour operator via a friend, so decided to book directly. Reading reviews from other operators we noticed that many trips were cancelled last minute, and even in Krakow airport we overheard a few people saying their trip had just been cancelled for no apparent reason. From the moment we booked communication was excellent, and payment wasn't expected until a few days prior to the trip, There were clear instructions of what to expect and time of pick up. Our driver/guide Thomas turned up exactly at the given time, and explained everything that we would need to know for our day, at relevant points during the day. He was very friendly and made the day run so smoothly. We decided to pay for the packed lunch, which was actuality really nice. We had a huge, fresh ham and cheese salad bap, a pasta bowl, chocolate wafer and a bottle of water - I would recommend opting for this rather than trying to get something to eat at the small cafe in Birkenau. Just to note the toilets at Birkenau are the equivalent of £1 each to use!!!! They take card or cash - phew! Very long day, as our pick up was 5.30am, but definitely worth it. From our experience I would recommend Mr Shuttle.
Very well organised!
Very reliable service. Great drivers. Would definately use again.
