My wife arranged two tours with Krakow-tours in advance (the guys advertised here). We took the Salt Mine tour with them which was really great (mines? who knew!). We were paired with a family of three and had comfortable transport for the 5 of us. Our driver was polite and the on site tour was good.
That evening, seeing another company advertise for a few zloties cheaper, we decided to use them for the Auschwitz trip - boy were we wrong! We were crammed into a bus and spent 45 minutes driving around Krakow to various pickup points before actually departing for our 'tour'.
To Bartek - sorry we canceled but believe me I learned the lesson!" | Brent Williams

| | "thanks Krakow-Tours! From the emailing before our trip to the pickup from our hotel and the excellent guides - everything went smoothly. Thanks also for your advice on what to book (I had no idea a salt mine could be so interesting!)I will be recommending to everyone that they visit Krakow - and hand them your number to get it set up." | Todd B.

| | "Knowing that we only had a short time in Krakow, I did not want to mess around with public transport to undertake the obligatory trip to Auschwitz, so contacted Krakow Tours. As arranged, they sent a car to pick us up from our hotel, driven by an informative and delightful lady (sadly I forgot her name), who then organised our English speaking tour guide around Aushwitz and Birkenau. One little detail that you simply won't get by goining on an organised bus tour is that at Birkenau we dropped off with our guide on a country lane leading directly on to the memorial at the end of the rail tracks of the Juden Ramp, and then picked us up from the main car park at the official entrance to the camp where the busses park. The benefit of this is that having walked around Auschwitz, your feet have already taken a pounding on the cobbles. One is then taken to Birkenau and the entrance gate to the memorial, via the huts, must be about a mile to walk. If you get dropped off by the back entrance by a guide in a private car, the walk is considerably less. The camps are distressing enough without worrying about your feet ache. The all inclusive package, with the return car journey door to door, was only 320 PLN, which is about £57/€84, including the guided tour. Excellent." | Neil Tooley

| | "Brilliant service! We loved the guided walk around Krakow, and the trips to Auschwitz and the salt mines were first class too. Everything was on time, transport was clean, drivers and guides friendly, enthusiastic and courteous. I'll be back in the summer for the Vodka Tour! Have a Super Christmas, Martin." | Martin Smithfield

| | "I immensely enjoyed our walk. Your knowledge of Cracow and the political, social and historical context in which it exists were quite impressive and entertaining. I could not think of a more worthwhile way to spend four hours. The only criticism I have is of your fee - it was too low.

Top tips on the restaurants too - Italian place in Kazimierz was excellent and we loved the place on the other side of the river (Ogniem something, I can't remember!) - covered in snow on the Sunday night, looked magical. The tour really made our stay for us, you pitched it just right
All the best, I won't hesitate to recommend you to colleagues or friends if they come over to Krakow visiting.
Best wishes

We took the Auschwitz Tour - which I think everyone should - and it changed us forever. It was good to deal with a company which could take care of everything. All we had to do was absorb... I highly recommend Krakow Tours. And I strongly suggest a visit to the Auschwitz camps. Powerful." | Jake Crattonsley

| | "This was a fantastic idea. We took the city walk and our guide knew absolutely everything about everything. The personal touch was key. With so much to do and see in Krakow, we still had the opportunity to go off on tangents and explore sidestreets and off-the-path locales. We definitely got a whole new perspective on the place - something only an insider or local could provide. I think everyone would enjoy this service. Way better than some big group thing." | Anthony Willowe
