Great experience packed in one day!

Great experience! Our driver, Pawel, was fantastic, very informative, courteous, and always looking out for us. In Auschwitz you do a group tour. After Auschwitz we had a traditional Polish meal and went to Krakow. In Krakow we did a walking tour of the city with a guide, who also did an amazing job informing us about the history of the city. I definitely recommend this tour if you want to do all in a single day. A+

Overwhelming Trip

We booked the AB Poland Travel Krakow and Auschwitz Day tour at the last minute. I travelled with my partner and few friends. It was one of the best guided Tour in Poland. It was a very organized tour. The arrangements and timings were smooth. We have great memories of the tour and our scenic road trip from Warsaw to Auschwitz.

GREAT ! We recommend it

The tour was great ! Jacek is very funny and a great guide!! He explained and told us about the history of each place we visited, and always very willing to help.
He was on time at the hostel to pick up us, and we arrived to Auschwitz at 9.30 more or less. The tour is about 3.30 hours (between AUSCHWITZ and BIRKENAU), after that we had lunch and then we went to Krakow. There we visited the old town, the market and the castle outside.

Good tour, great driver

My wife and I recently did this tour with AB Poland Travel. It was a memorable time, and our driver was absolutely amazing. He made us feel very safe, got us to all our events on time, ordered us an amazing lunch, and ensured we had as good of a time as possible. The tour gives plenty of time at Auschwitz-Birkenau, and although we were a little apprehensive about going to Krakow for only two hours, honestly after the Auschwitz tour it was nice to be able to sit and have beer before the long ride home. The driver was what truly made this worth the money and would definitely recommend if you've a couple days in Warsaw. ... [read more]
