“Absolutely brilliant trip. The booked time changed to an earlier time which did us a favour....thanks GetYourGuide for keeping us informed. Pick up near our apartment and the driver was excellent and explained what was going to happen and meeting points etc. The guide in the mine was outstanding (sorry I didn't get his name). Very informative with a brilliant sense of humour. He made the tour so so enjoyable. What a fantastic attraction.... we could go there again and again. Thanks everyone for making this tour a lasting memory.”

“Very glad we booked this tour! A 7.55 central pick up, lots of other companies buses were confusing but ours was clearly labelled. They switched the order so we did the salt mine first and Auschwitz in the afternoon which we much preferred. The driver was great, explained things clearly and always made sure everyone was accounted for. Our guides at both locations were fantastic and we were really glad to learn from their knowledge on each place. The bus was quite tight on legroom but did have overhead storage. We were back in the city by half 6. Would recommend this tour!”
