Travellers say

Reviewers consistently praise this tour, run by Mr Shuttle/Krakow Shuttle, highlighting hotel pick-up and drop-off, punctual, clean minibuses, friendly English-speaking drivers and knowledgeable, respectful guides who covered Auschwitz-Birkenau's history. Many describe it as harrowing but essential, note skip-the-line entry with little queueing, and recommend the optional packed lunch. Travellers warn of early starts and lots of walking and stairs. Some booked the salt mine, also rated highly. Complaints were rare: one traveller expected self-guided but joined a group and wanted more time, and one received no notice of a changed pickup time.

    This tour was extremely organized, well planned, and on time. The scenery along the bus route was beautiful, and the tour guides were very knowledgeable and informative. We also had the option of lunch at an additional cost, which was convenient and well worth it. I will definitely tour with them again.

    Fabulous tour and service! Picked up on time, comfortable travel both ways with a friendly driver (Matthews) Booked a lunch with the package which was very nice. Wonderful guide for the tour (Barbara) who was incredibly knowledgeable and communicated very well throughout, pointing out where it was/wasn't appropriate to take photos etc and giving a detailed history of Auschwitz/Birkenau as we walked. All in all a very good service from Mr Shuttle, highly recommended by us!

    Cannot recommned highly enough. We were let down by a different company on Wednesday for a Saturday trip and Mr Shuttle still got us there on Sunday, booking was easy, communication was excellent, pick up was exactly on time as was our return which was important as we were tight on time for our flight and the organisation at the camp was perfect. You do not need to look anywhere else - these are the people to use.

    Well done. Very early start - 5:45 am - but worked out well. On time, careful driving. The tour itself was sobering, painful, and a necessary reminder of what can never be permitted to occur again.

    A very well organised tour, at every step from communicating pick up time to drop off afterwards cannot be faulted. We also booked the packed lunch as an extra and it was definitely worth it. I would definitely recommend Mr Shuttle for anyone thinking of doing this tour Melanie Hillman review photo Melanie Hillman review photo

    I thought the tour was excellent. While very sobering, I was glad I took the tour to gain a deeper understanding of what happened at Auschwitz and other Nazi concentration camps. Driver was excellent also.

    It was very Well organised. Our Driver picked US up on time at 5.30 am from Our adress . We got the exaxt time the evening before. Our guide was female and of jewish origin. Her father in law was victim of Auschwitz. Explanation in English were very good. Although of course the Stories of the suffering of the people makes you speechless. There is Security Check Like Airport. In the beginning and end of the Tour there are Rest rooms,Snacks and Drinks so everything went very Well from the beginning to the end.

    Long day but so worth it. Driver punctual and tour guide had excellent knowledge of the history of Aushwitz. Thought provoking and somber trip but a must do when in Krakow.
