We loved the ease of the experience, the driver was very friendly. However it was difficult to distinguish the transport with the the other coaches and cars at pick up, this could have been a little clearer.

If you’re into history this is a must if in Krakow. It’s a long day out and the entrance is like every other major tourist attraction in the world..absolute chaos 😄 Some of the exhibits are grim and not for the feint hearted

The host did not have the booklets ready, we had to wait. Not sure why we paid when the actual visit is a free experience. It feels like we were taken advantage off. We needed to leave 30 min early, asked another bus driver from the same company and he had seats available to take us to Krakov earlier… he asked us to pay him 20 Zlt. Very disappointed, cannot believe I paid for this poor experience. Zero information was provided by driver or tour host. Would not recommend. Felt like a scheme

1st try - The guide didn't have our tickets but she needed so much time to tell us that we would need to go to the end of the line than the daily tickets over and we couldn't see the place. And she just said, "It's not my fault, complain with Discover Krakow". 2dn try - After complaining with the company, they put me on another trip, in the next day, to see Auschwitz. I lost my entire second day in Krakow because of this mistake. But the guide just gave us a book, said "Take this book" and disappeared. And when I complain to the company by WhatsApp, they told me to come out, back to the bus, one hour earlier than planned, because the van would be going back to Krakow. And when I came to the van, no one was there and I needed to wait one hour until we go to Krakow.

The most memorable part of the experience was waiting in a queue for over 3 hours to be told that there’s no more tickets left to enter the museum! And then to be fobbed off by the tour guide, don’t book through any app go to Aruthwitwz yourself! Free entry to the museum! Don’t waste your money through these companies, who just take your money and don’t follow through with anything that you pay for!
