Legitimate and trustworthy tour - This was a legitimate tour company and they did everything as promised. It was good because we had experience with an unreliable booking to do this tour with a local organization. We were so glad we were able to go to Auschwitz while in Poland.

Thought provoking experience. Excellent guide. - A truly emotional experience. Felt very humbled and grateful to have been able to visit. The tour guide was excellent and spoke with passion. They follow a strict timetable so there are parts where you wish you could have lingered but overall this did not deter from the experience.

Amazing tour - Brilliant tour. A little mishap as to where we were to be picked up,but sorted out quickly. The tour of Autswitz itself was really informative, the guide knew her stuff and when get to Birkenau the shire size is overwhelming. Would really recommend this to anybody.

An amazingly well organised visit to Auschwitz and Birkenhau! - We did this trip in June ‘25, there were 4 of us in our party, we opted for the hotel pickup/drop-off, the mini van was on time, clean and our driver Tomasz was great! I had regular communications via WhatsApp from the Hello Cracow team in the lead up to our visit with pickup times, information about our visit and what to expect. We stopped off about 15 mins before getting to Auschwitz for a quick toilet & refreshment break at the CLEANEST petrol station I’ve ever been in! Our guide (Magda) for both Auschwitz and Birkenhau was AMAZING!, our small group was taken around the sites at a comfortable, steady pace, giving us plenty of time to absorb our surroundings. Magda was extremely knowledgeable and was very helpful with any questions we had. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone and definitely with Hello Cracow, the whole team were wonderful!

Overall Great - Our driver Casper was awesome and did a great job . Van was really tight in the back row where we had to sit . Too small for anyone over 5’11 . Tour was well done, but a bit hurried with all the other tours moving through . Would have liked more time to absorb some of the displays. Timings changed as well for pickup which was confusing because communications were happening both from Viator and directly from the tour company via WhatsApp, and they conflicted . Anyway , overall positive .
