Real experiences from real travelers
The Auschwitz portion was incredibly somber but necessary. Our guide was respectful and knowledgeable. The Salt Mine was a total contrast—absolutely stunning! The transfer was seamless.
I was worried about doing both in one day, but it was perfectly timed. We never felt rushed. The salt mine is mind-blowing, especially the underground cathedral.
Our driver was early for hotel pickup and the van was very comfortable. The only thing is the salt mine has a LOT of stairs, so be prepared for a workout!
The historical accuracy of the guide at Auschwitz was impressive. Booking through this platform was easy and the instant confirmation gave me peace of mind.
I didn't expect the salt mine to be so beautiful. The sculptures are incredible. The Auschwitz tour is heavy but important for everyone to see. Great day trip.
Everything from the pickup to the skip-the-line tickets worked perfectly. It's a long day, but it's the best way to see these two UNESCO sites.
Great for people with limited time. We saw so much in just 11 hours. The guide spoke very clear English and was very helpful with questions.
We booked the private transport option and it was worth every penny. Door-to-door service made the day so much easier with our family.
Everything you need to know for your journey
The combined tour typically lasts between 10 and 12 hours, depending on traffic and group pace. This includes travel time from Krakow and the transfer between the two sites.
Lunch is usually not included in the base price, but most tours include a 45-60 minute break where you can purchase food or eat a pre-packed lunch.
Auschwitz has a strict security policy. Bags cannot exceed 30 x 20 x 10 cm. Larger bags can usually be left on the tour bus.
While Auschwitz-Birkenau has limited accessibility, the Salt Mine has a specific accessible route, but it must be booked in advance as it requires special lift access.
At Auschwitz, photography is allowed in most areas without flash, though some rooms (like the hair room) strictly prohibit it. At the Salt Mine, photography is allowed, but some tours require a small additional fee for a photo permit.
The temperature in the Salt Mine is a constant 14-16°C (57-60°F) regardless of the weather outside. We recommend a light jacket or sweater and comfortable walking shoes.
The Auschwitz Museum recommends visitors be at least 14 years old due to the nature of the exhibits. There is no official age limit for the Salt Mine.
The tours operate in all weather conditions. Much of the Salt Mine tour is underground, while Auschwitz involves significant outdoor walking, so bring an umbrella or raincoat if rain is forecast.
Auschwitz-Birkenau is located approximately 60-70 km (37-43 miles) from Krakow, which takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes by road.
Yes, our platform offers individual tours to either Auschwitz-Birkenau or the Wieliczka Salt Mine if you prefer to visit them on separate days.
Yes, the standard Salt Mine tour involves descending about 800 steps in total, with 380 of them at the very beginning. There is an elevator to bring you back to the surface at the end.
We highly recommend booking at least 2-4 weeks in advance, especially during peak season (May-September), as entry tickets to Auschwitz are strictly limited and often sell out.
