Description
More than a million Jews and other prisoners were killed in Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. On this tour you’ll learn about what it was like to live in the camps during Nazi occupation and see, first hand, the brutality of Hitler’s regime.
You’ll visit both Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau and have the opportunity to join guided tours in English or to explore at your own pace with privacy.
The second half of the tour takes you below ground, to the UNESCO-listed Wieliczka Salt Mine, which is more than 800 years old. You’ll be surprised by what you discover in the many chambers of this dark world – including a gothic cathedral and underground lake! Guided tours in English take place every hour (every half hour in Summer) and the route takes about 2.5 hours.
PLEASE NOTE
The salt mine tour involves climbing up and down a total of 800 stairs and is not advised for people with mobility issues.

From the beginning they were really polite and we organized the pick up from the hotel via email (as I mentioned that I didn't have my mobile number abroad). And they confirmed the pick up the day before via email also.
The guide / bus driver was Konrad, who was really polite and spoke English super well!
In site our tour guides were really polite and explained the site really well.
Finally, if anyone is thinking in doing both sites (auswitch and salt mines) on the same day, I would say that this tour is the best. You don't rush at all, you have time for everything. It's a full day full of experiences.
Our tour guide in Auschwitz and Birkenau was just perfect! She knows everything there and the arrangements were really smooth. The audio system works perfectly and let's you have some flexibilty for your own interest points during the tour, and you do not miss any information - or the group.
Also similar arrangement was in use in the Salt Mine. All in all, interesting day and impressive sights!!!
