Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum and Wieliczka Salt Mine Tour with Legendary Krakow
In September 2025 we took a combined trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka Salt Mine with Legendary Krakow. We were very hesitant to combine two such drastically different experiences in one day, but didn't have other options, having only a few days in Krakow. The day turned out to be one of the most memorable ones. The trip was organized superbly - from the pick up at our hotel (with the seats we asked for saved for us on the van) to the very last minute when the driver Matt left us with more recommendations and directions for the time we have left to spend on our own. Matt took a very good care of everyone in our group throughout the day, making sure we all go to the right queues, pick up the right materials, eat good lunch, are warm and comfortable... He also shared a lot of details about everyday life in Poland, answered every question and made us feel very welcome! I have no adequate words to describe Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial, and our experience there. Having read hundreds of books, seeing dozens of movies, I thought I'd be prepared. Nowhere close. It is a very powerful, totally heartbreaking experience, beyond comprehension, that leaves you speechless. And yet a must for everyone. Our guide Agnieszka was very good and passionate - the type of educator who, having done these tours hundreds of times, doesn't have it dulled, and still has this anger about what had happened. Wieliczka Salt Mine is a unique place. In a way this combo tour and seeing Wieliczka after Auschwitz was a sort of therapeutic arrangement, helping to stay sane. Highly recommended, both the tour and Legendary Krakow.
Auschwitz and Salt mine
Our driver was great. He spoke really good English and guided us clearly. He was really attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly. Auschwitz was worth seeing, although it was a scary and awfull place. The guide on this tour spoke a bit in a mumble, so it was hard to understand his English. The salt mine was more magnificent and incredible than we expected. A really good and clear guide on the tour. We didn't have to queue much anywhere, the tours started on time and ran smoothly. A long day, which was all in all a great and smooth experience. We can highly recommend it!
