      • What our Clients say:
      • "Nice and carefull drivers. Good service - tickets were available without waiting, and there were guides ready as planned. We used the company for the Auschwitz tour, the tour to the Salt mines and for transport to and from the airport."     Corey Brun
      • "Excellent tours from start to finish. We arrived back at our hotel earlier than expected which was good because we only spent two nights in Kraków so it allowed us a bit more time. The guides were very fluent in English and both the Salt Mine and Aushwitz were really good value for money. We chose to do the tours separately because we thought it would be too tiring doing the full day and I'm glad we did that as there was lots of walking in both tours. Thanks I would highly recommend this to my friends."     Katie Unsworth
      • "The organisation was excellent and the quality of the tour was very good. The guide for the actual camp was brilliant and we had a very kind and pleasant driver. The Salt Mines were amazing. I got so much out of the day. Thank you very much."     Isabel Garbeth
