KrakowDirect are the best company we have ever dealt with. Their communication is first class and they deliver exactly what they promise. The drivers are great and friendly, and the lunch provided was perfect. If you are thinking of visiting Auschwitz-Birkenaue, Salt mines etc then I highly recommend them!

Used this service for pickup and return from Krakow city centre. Party of three, two adults and a twelve-year-old daughter. General advice seemed to be not to take children under 13 but as they had covered this in school our decision was that this would not be an issue. The driver/guide Michael arrived on time in 20-seater minibus that was in very good condition and clean. Michael was clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about Auschwitz-Birkenau and accompanied us throughout the visit to the two locations providing a comprehensive overview of the horrific events and conditions that occurred at the two concentration camps. Very good value for money and would highly recommend this operator if you are considering this during a visit to Krakow.

I cannot feedback on the tour as it was booked for an 11am pickup time and the night before the tour, Krakow Direct contacted me to say that there was a shortage of tour guides and they had to change the collection time to 05.30am. They had effectively sold me a tour they did not have a guide for. This was not suitable as the tour was for my parents who are 70 years old. I asked for an alternative day over the next three days and was told this could not be accommodated. Konrad from Krakow Direct said that as it was a significant change, they would issue a refund. 12 days later and I am still waiting and my credit card company have confirmed that the refund is not pending. Krakow Direct have not responded to emails or messages since. Avoid at all costs.

Michael (Walker) was our guide. He not only did a marvelous job explaining everything and answering any questions posed to him but he did it without the ease of having a microphone and us listening via headphones as they were not available due to a new company being employed and them not functioning. He not only gave ongoing commentary on the bus ride up but he had to do so non stop while walking and keeping pace without interrupting and bumping up against other tour groups! His commentary and timing was impeccable and he had to keep this pace up for over 4 hours at both Auschwitz and Birkenau! As a teacher, who talks and presents information all day everyday, I found his stamina and what he was able to do amazing and worthy of the utmost praise! His sense of humor and honest opinions and commentary were both enlightening and appreciated. He made the day!

Amazing tour guide, Michael (Walker) he was fantastic and knew so much information and history! Not only touring us well at the attractions, he was friendly and gave us information on the bus to and from krakow. He had a good sense of humour and his English was fantastic, easy to understand! I would recommend using this company and if u can get Michael as your tour guide, you won’t be disappointed! Great experience!
