History and memory
Auschwitz is the most well-known Nazi concentration camp, somehow a “point zero” in the history of other camps. Operating from 1940-1945, it ended up being the place of massive extermination, not known in human history before. 1 million Jewish people were exterminated there, which also makes it the main place where the Holocaust took place.
Auschwitz consisted of around 40 sub-camps, but the most tragic events happened in Auschwitz I (administrative headquarters) with Crematorium I and Birkenau (Auschwitz II) with Crematoria II-V. The inmates in the first mass transport in June 1940 were political prisoners – Poles, there were around 700 of them. Ever since 1942 and the Wannsee Conference, a massive transportation of Jews from all over Europe has started. Initially, Auschwitz was not a death camp and the first gassing was in September 1941 – it included Soviet soldiers and some of the most sick prisoners. The situation quickly changed, though.
Due to the great location of Oświęcim – the city where the camp was located – where railroad tracks from many places in Europe crossed their paths, it was possible to organise transports of Jews, Roma, Russians and various other nationalities. Auschwitz was the only Nazi concentration camp with such an organised number and tattooing system, which later allowed to estimate almost the exact number of prisoners/murdered there. There were around 1.3 million inmates in Auschwitz-Birkenau during the 5 years of its existence, with approximately 1.1 million (mostly Jews) of them being killed.
Visiting Salt Mine
Please remember to take comfortable shoes and warm clothes (the temperature in the mine ranges between 17° and 18°C). The route includes approx. 800 stairs, 380 of which are at the start.

Check opinions about this trip
This was a great trip. The scenery along the way is lovely and the driver put a video about Auschwitz-Birkenau on to watch. The tour is done in a sensitive but informative way. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Lunch provided was lovely. The salt mine was interesting with cheap gift shop buys and delicious ice cream! Thoroughly enjoyed the whole day.
Very well-coordinated, accommodated my motion sickness request. The driver drove very nice, didn't feel too sick. The young tour guide at Auschwitz was a little difficult to understand and the salt mine was very interesting. Bring comfy shoes!!! Lots of walking!
Excellent pickup, no waiting, was very punctual. Although Auschwitz was quite emotional. It was also very compassionate and informative too, excellent lunch. The salt mine was amazing, we had a really enjoyable day.
Cannot tell you how fantastic this trip is. Transportation was clean and efficient. Highly recommend this company. Used them more than once.
A must-do if you visit Krakow. Booking the trip was easy and the trip was very professionally run. The transfer was very comfortable. It was very quick getting into Auschwitz with the guide who was also great and made the trip for me, giving us plenty of information and letting us take it all in. It was a very moving experience. The salt mine was very good also, and I would visit again. The whole day was good, it was a full day and I would consider both trips separately.
Excellent day throughout. We were picked up on time by Tomas (mr shuttle). Tomas is a great driver; superb English, funny and friendly. Auschwitz and Birkenhau tours were very humbling and thought-provoking. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had an association with Auschwitz through her uncles. Lunch was lovely - tasty and filling. The Salt Mines were awesome due to the size and splendour. Be aware there are several hundred steps to take down to the different levels but there is a lift back to the surface (phew 😄).
Brilliant trip Very good communication from driver from pick from hotel to all our stops and back to hotel Highly recommended this trip
Very interesting tour the guides were very good the salt mines were amazing although the steps were a challenge Well worth the visit and very good value for money I would highly recommend this tour as it’s both informative and interesting
Excellent trip, very well worth the money if you are short on time, the trip to Auschwitz is thought provoking and hard to take in, but also found the Birkenau part of the trip disquieting, perhaps because of the bleakness of the place. If you go in winter as we did, dress warmly as the bitter wind sweeps across the sites. The second part of the trip to the Salt Mine was amazing, truly well worth a visit, lots of steps down but a lift back up. Some beautiful sights to see in this mine. Different guides for the morning and afternoon, both excellent. I would say to make sure you keep up with the guides as they don’t tend to wait for stragglers and you will get left behind. Excellent day out.
Very enjoyable trip, lots of walking and culture. Tough part of history to visit but Daniel made the experience as easy and interesting as possible.
A moving tour that balanced the important and moving tour of Auschwitz with the incredible sights of the Salt Mine brilliantly and respectfully. The day ran incredibly smoothly and all the guides and our tour host were welcoming and helpful. We were picked up and dropped off just outside our air bnb which made the early start super easy! Lunch was incredible and far more than we expected with plenty of choice and fuel to keep us going.
Something that everyone should experience, was so surreal. Our tour guide made it incredible. Her knowledge was insane! Our driver was lovely, he made it a great day!
Excellent guides and very interesting trip. A lot in one day but good to do together as Auschwitz on its own may be a bit too upsetting although a must see. Salt mines were fascinating
Must do experience! Combing both in one day is long but definitely the right way to do it. The guide was very experienced, have a lot of background info about the circumstances that led to the Jewish holocaust. Although a sombre visit when it comes to Auschwitz it is something that everybody has to do. The salt mine was a unique visit and nothing of what a mine I imagined to be!
Was nice to have the day organised for us and transport was quick and basically door to door from hotel. Tour guides were engaging and detailed.
All locations visited were impactful in different ways, and all experiences a must do when visiting Poland. Our guides both at Auschwitz-Birkenau, and the salt mines were exceptional. Mr Shuttle arranged our transportation beautifully - on time pick up, modern and clean van, very polite driver. The bagged lunch was tasty, and filling / exceeded our expectations. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Amazing trip. Very well organised and ran with perfect precision. The mini bus arrived on time at the hotel. The bus was clean and comfortable. The day ran smoothly and the tours were very informative. I would highly recommend.
We really like our experience in this tour. Our driver is very good. We also like our tour guide in auschwitz and salt mine. Both are very knowledgeable. It is very good that they've shown us video about auschwitz while we are on the bus going there. Highly recommended! Special mention to our tour guide in Salt Mine for his patience in handling guests.
Greate service
Excellent! Received a pick up time the day before via text, we were collected on time and were shown a video on the way to Auschwitz. Getting into all the sites was quick and easy with MrShuttle sorting all the tickets. The guides provided at all sites were brilliant and very knowledgable. Lunch was excellent, plenty of tasty food to keep us going throughout the long day. Would highly recommend!
The first part of the trip was very informative about ww2 and the holocaust, with the second part being equally as interesting, the tour guides were full of knowledge and left us with very little questions. The driver was also very helpful and friendly. All together a great experience and would highly recommend others to do this double experience. 👍
Great driver! David was a polite, friendly driver and kept everyone organised. He was patient and helpful when finding our accommodation for pick up. Trip was worth going on.
The whole trip was so well organised! Pick up times sent out the day prior, everything went so smoothly, the lunch included was very good! Our driver was very polite, the trip was excellent and really worth the money, a long day but definitely one worth doing! Dropped back off at our hotel, Auschwitz-Birkenau was very eye opening and the salt mines gave you a nice lift in mood after, highly recommend
The Salt mines tour is awesome it is hard to believe the scale and size of it. The carvings are marvellous. It is one of the best trips I have ever done. The guide was enthusiastic and passionate
Excellent experience. The at-hotel pickup was worth it. The drive was done in a 8-passenger van and we met up with other groups at Auschwitz and at the salt mine. Both guides at each location were very good. The lunch provided was tasty and substantial. The guide also gave good advice about restaurants in Krakow.
Prompt pickup - well organised - friendly drivers. Comfortable vehicles, reasonable lunch. Moved us through the queues efficiently
Excellent company.. great communication and punctual. Christian the driver was lovely. We had door to door service and the whole trip which is over 3 sites was extremely well organised and we were saved alot of queuing. Guides were all excellent. Thoroughly recommend Mr Shuttle and this trip. Please be aware that this is a long day, there is a lot of walking and stairs so you will need good mobility and able to walk a few miles collectively. All 3 sites are a must see
Excellent company. Worked like clockwork. Was picked up at our apartment at 6am - very comfy bus and Tom was a good driver.The tour guides we had both in Aushwitz (Jakub) and the Salt mines (Małgorzata the teacher!) were of a high callibre! 10/10 for both!
Fantastic tour ! Really great experience. The service provided was spot on ! I would definitely recommend using Mr Shuttle tours !
Very proffessionally delivered tour,top marks for organisation on what is obviously a very sensitive tour.Also a great lunch included.
Very good tour, friendly drivers and guides, on time dropped off at hotel If you are wanting a trip in Krakow go with Mr Shuttle, you will not be disappointed
You must do the salt mine & Aushwitz a brilliant morning/day out and value for money and the staff very excellent at explaining everything
Great trip and amazing views. Definitely a must see while in krakow. The driver was super helpful and friendly. The guided tour is around 7h plus some free time.
The day was very well organised and good value for money. Pick up and drop off to hotel. Good communication beforehand and during the day from the driver. The guided tours at both places were excellent. A generous packed lunch was provided.
Amazingly beautiful place to visit. Well worth a trip. Tour guide for the mine was extremely patient. Mr Shuttle bus driver was very efficient.
This place is amazing! The guide we had was excellent, information provided with humour! We only saw 1 percent of the mine, so it must be enormous! An excellent must see place if you visit Krakow.
We also booked Airport transfers with Mr Shuttle. We highly recommend this company. The drivers were polite, well dressed and took care of our suitcases. They were earlier than advertised for the pick up times at our hotel. Sadly we had pre-booked our Austwitz tour with another company that also specified a hotel pick-up. This was not the case and we had to walk 20 plus minutes to a rendezvous point! We recommend sticking with Mr Shuttle.
Well worth the visit. Pleasant bus ride, all the staff had great English.
Fantastic customer service! I accidentally booked 2 trips on the same day, I contacted the customer services team to ask if the trip to the Salt Mine could go ahead on the day I initially thought I had booked the trip for, or if not a day or 2 later. The customer service advisor Daryna was great, she said she would look nto what could be done and said woud call me back. Within 10 minutes she called me back to say the trip could take place on either the date I initially thought I'd booked it for or the Sunday.. I was so relived as I thought due to my own error of booking the incorrect date I would have lost my money (£97.00). The driver arrived at our hotel on time in a Mercedes people carrier, which was very comfortable and the journey to the Salt mine took approx 20 minutes. The whole trip from start to the entry and handing over to the guide at the Salt mines was seamless. Salt mines were amazing and well worth the visit, 100% recommend Mr Shuttle for this tour, by far the best price, only wish we had found them for the Auschwitz tour, as they would have worked out far cheaper than booking through our hotel. The drivers were very helpful and knowledgeable.
We arrived at the mine, given a breakdown of the tour... Went into the mine, saw how the miners worked the mine... Walked along the tunnels they had created... Went into some amazing chambers, saw salt lakes & little chapels the miners created... The guide was very helpful and informative.. The tour lasted about 90 mins... I would recommend this trip to anyone was truly amazing, thought the place would have been dark and damp, but, it wasn't... Well done to the people who run this place, giving everyone an insight as to how they worked the mine.... Well done....
Our whole experience was excellent. Superb communications via email, on time hotel pick up, helpful pleasant driver, interesting tour of salt mines and quick return to city. All with a smile.
I was a bit worried about the tour as I wasn't sure how claustrophobic it would feel but actually it didn't feel it at all. The experience is worth a visit for the cavern alone; very impressive. Comfortable shoes are a must though!
This trip was excellent, it was an early start, 6.20 but we were back for approx 5.30, so still had the evening free. Mr shuttle kept us informed off the pick up time, and arrived exactly on time. The lunch provided was great. The driver was very friendly and made sure we always knew when and where to meet etc. This was a very professional, well organised trip and I would highly recommend this company!
An amazing day trip that everyone must do. It is a long day but were absolutely worth it. Excellent shuttle bus and tour guides for both tours. Highly recommended
