Excellent service - We booked our Auschwitz-Birkenau tour with Comfort Tours Crakow and everything went smoothly. Our tour hour was changed from 10 AM to 7.30 AM, but everything worked out for the best, because we also had time for other Krakow attractions for the rest of the day. Simon, our tour coordinator, was very nice and helpful. I definitely recommend their services.

Highly recommend - Before booking- we went on the chat on the website to get a little more Information, which the were very helpful.
Great price.
Once booked I was contacted via what’s app on details and choice of lunch at an extra cost.
Driver arranged times and pick up which was right outside our hotel.
Smooth transition to destination and clean and luxury car.
Driver was helpful and talked us through everything.
Tour guide was fantastic and explained everything and made the tour smooth and helpful.
We got picked up at 5.45 and was home by 12.30. With a 3 hour tour.
Upon arriving we were given 15 mins for toilet and food in the cafe and the back to collect tickets from driver, which then we walked straight through security and started the tour.
Highly recommend using this company- always a worry of the unknown when booking on websites but it was very easy and the drivers were brilliant.

Very Good A+ - All good pick up from hotel was punctual but the 2 front seats in minibus were a bit "snug". Margaret was a great guide and very informative. I thought the tour of the camps was a bit rushed, there was barely anytime to reflect and/or take photos. This could have been because it was freezing cold? All in all a very good experience but there is quite a lot of walking and stair climbing involved!

Extremely well organized tour - This was an extremely well organized tour. I had initially booked my trip with another tour company who unfortunately let me down the day before we were due to go. We quickly booked with this tour company and the service was exceptional. They called back within 10 minutes to let us know we would have tickets and not to worry. The transport picked us up promptly and was very comfortable and the Auschwitz tour guide was fantastic. We paid for the lunchbox which is a fantastic touch from the tour company. I would highly recommend you pay to add this on if offered - pickup times can be very early and when you get to Auschwitz there is no opportunity to buy food or drink from the cafe (not the tour companies fault - purely due to the fact that there are thousands of people visiting a day - everyone arrives at the same time for tours and the Auschwitz organizers run everything to a very tight schedule). Without this you might end up going 6 hours without food if you weren't prepared with your own. We were very appreciative of having this ready for us to eat between the two tours in Auschwitz. I would highly recommend this tour company.

Auschwitz-Birkenau in a snow storm - Overall a great experience and enjoyable experience.
I appreciate the company need to fill the seats on the minibus but we got our final update around 8pm before a 5.50am collection.
The collection was prompt with a friendly driver. We collected others and then travelled to Aucshwitz which took almost 2 hours. This was due to heavy snow and despite atrocious conditions we felt safe in the drivers hands - well done.
The two tours were very informative and we saw everything we expected with the guide very knowledgeable and approachable for extra questions. He displayed his 17yr knowledge of the sites very well - thank you.
The return trip was much quicker due to the snow clearance on the roads, arriving back to our accommodation around 1pm.
I would highly recommend this company and found them very helpful 👏👏👏

Would recommend - Booked last minute. Quite expensive which i was shocked about.
Tour guide was so lovely & very knowledgeable. I learnt so much from her.
Driver wasn't very pleasant, on the way home all he done was txt on his phone whilst driving. I was so close to telling him to stop but then he stopped.
If you can get free tickets & get the train I would 100% recommend it as you can take your time & go every where, But then if you can get it cheap enough with tour guide you will learn so much.

I booked this tour well... - I booked this tour well in advance, on November 4th, for December 30th, in order to properly plan my trip. I arrived in Krakow on December 29th, only to be informed shortly before the tour that it could no longer take place on December 30th because there was no guide available. As a result, my tour was moved to December 31st, which was disappointing and inconvenient.
Additionally, the services provided did not match what was advertised. Initially, I was told that the pickup would be from my hotel, but this was later changed and I had to walk around 30 minutes to a different meeting point. To excuse this change, I was offered a lunch box, which did not compensate for the inconvenience. The same issue occurred with the drop-off: instead of being taken back to my hotel as promised, I was dropped off in the city center.
Another major problem was the transportation. The bus was extremely cold for the entire journey. We spent around 3 hours on the bus, and the heating was never turned on, making the trip very uncomfortable.
Apart from receiving the entrance tickets, I did not really benefit from any other service included in the price.
The only positive aspect was that I did not have to wait in line at Auschwitz, which I appreciated.
Overall, I am disappointed, as I paid for a service that was not delivered as promised. I expected better organization and clearer communication.
