Traveler reviews
Mine Tour
Good overall tour. Prompt pickup and very good guide. Only downside, emerged from mine quite a distance from initial drop off which we were not aware of and had to find way back to transfer
One day in Krakow
Very professional organized tour. Excelent guide. Perfect and safe driver. Confortable busses.
Do not miss the salt mines! Amazing!
The whole trip was amazing. Communication from the point of booking was brilliant; I received emails and messages giving me clear details about the trip and was communicated with on the day of the trip about pick up times, receiving messages about exact timings on what’s app. The driver was lovely, very friendly and the vehicle was very clean and comfortable. The actual visit to the salt mines was fantastic, really interesting and we also had a wonderful guide. All in all a 10/10 trip
Very disappointing service
Unfortunately on route to Auschwitz in a mini bus I felt very unwell with severe travel sickness and had to ask the driver to let me out and we asked him to wait as I was very unwell and I was told that we needed to make a decision as to whether to get back in the bus or not as the driver kept saying he couldn't wait as there was a tour guide to meet at Auschwitz and that he couldn't wait. I was so ill at this point that I had no other option to be left with my husband in a very remote location. Myself and my husband did not speak any Polish and this proved to be an extremely difficult position for us both to be in. At no point did the driver offer to come back for us or check even later on in the day to see if we had made it back to Krackow. If it had not been for the kindness of 2 ladies from a pharmacy I very much doubt we would have made it back to the city centre which was now an hour away. This was very disappointing to know the company just didn't bother after dropping someone off in the middle of the Polish countryside, even check on them. This could have been so much more serious. We will come back one day to make this trip again but will book with a different company.
Not great
We were meant to meet at where we were dropped off! But came out in a completely different building and was lost We could not find our driver and was wondering around for over an hour trying to find him. Eventually he came to where we was and picked us up, One of our friends was very upset by this
