Auschwitz Birkenau & Salt Mine 1 day Tour

We usually pick up directly from the Hotel at 8 45 am. The itinerary and way of sightseeing can be customized with the driver on the day. If you want on the way to Auschwitz we can play you info about the history of the camps from the CD. The complete tour lasts until 1730, Speaking from experience most of us need some food around 14 o'clock, therefore you can have a lunch in a Polish restaurant, before You enter the salt mine.

Precisely speaking at 10 o clock we are in the Oswiecim-Auschwitz city where the camps are. At this time you need to decide which option of visiting is better for you:

1st - Join the fully guided tour in your native language for 33 ZL per person and go for a standard guided tour with a licensed guide, that is 3 h in both camps. Here you are with the Auschwitz guide and a group of people most of the time.
2nd - Visit the camps on your own with more independence and our help. There is a lot of info in English located all around the camps as well as we will explain you clearly, where you should go and what you should not miss.
3rd : If you contact us in advance we can book a private licensed guide for your group, this costs 236 ZL in total.

To see Auschwitz comfortably you need around 2 hours. We would make sure you would not miss Arbait Macht Frei gate, Gallows, Gas Chamber, and Blocks number 4, 5 and 11 - these are the most important blocks in the whole camp. Auschwitz and Birkenau are located 3 km from each other and we will drive you from one place to another. In the Birkenau Camp we can drive you to the end where you can see the ruins of gas chambers, the main monument, and the view from the highest tower. This is a perfect way to see Birkenau because it saves you some walking.

Around 1 o'clock, we would start driving to the Wieliczka city where the famous Salt Mine is, the drive takes around 1 hour 15 minutes and guided tours here start at 15 and 16 pm.

As mentioned before if you got hungry, there is a lovely restaurant next to the Salt Mine in which you could have a delicious meal before entering the mine that would be Polish traditional cuisine usually. The mine will most probably cheer you up after concentration camps because this is the oldest and the most beautiful mine in the world. The Salt Mine tour takes 2 hours and most of the tour you walk down admiring the views and listening to the stories that your guide says. Drive back to your hotel if this is in the center takes around 25 min. This means that around 1730 we would be back in Krakow.
