          Auschwitz is known world-wide, the city's name is a symbol of martyrdom of the millions. The Nazis established the Auschwitz concentration camp in April 1940. Enlarged in the subsequent years, it became a site of mass genocide. Some 1.5 million people of 28 nationalities died here. In 1979 the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp was entered into the UNESCO World Heritage List. The site was turned into a museum in 1947, and is known as the Memorial to the Martyrdom of the Polish and Other Nations. You will be picked-up from your accommodation at 7:00 am, after 1,5-2h drive your tour starts in Auschwitz at 9:00 am. That type of sightseeing includes specialist tour of the Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau camps, enhanced with selected national exhibitions, the so-called Central Sauna, also the ruins of gas chambers and crematoria IV and V. After finishing sightseeing, the driver will drive you back to Krakow.

          Excellent experience in Poland
          Our family had a wonderful time on this excursion visiting many of the wooden UNESCO churches of Poland. Our guide, Maciej (Matthew), was absolutely wonderful. His communication was excellent both leading up to the trip and during the day together. He had the route well planned and that included coffee or other stops along the way. His company, Poland Active, has many other types of excursions too, all of which look interesting. We highly recommend him and this company to you.

          Ojcow national park - beautiful nature
          We got there by car (about 20 minutes) from Krakow. The nature and rocks are beautiful. We took many photos. There is a paved path in the middle. It was Sunday, so there were quite a lot of people

          Very unique place
          My friend and I did not participate in a tour. We drove there ourself and we did not regret. This village outside of Krakow, is very unique. Many house are hand painted with beautiful, colorful flower like ornaments. Each house has it's own unique decorations going from generation to generation. We learned that each year, there is a competition and villagers paint their houses from the scratch. It is really worthy to spend a couple of hours to stroll through that village, especially when weather is nice.

          A wonderful and unique experience
          If like I was, you have been drawn in by photos of the unique and beautiful UNESCO world heritage site churches and want to also see something of the beautiful rural Malopolska region then I highly recommend this tour led by Poland Active. This is an exceptional tour led by a highly professional guide. From first communication via email to arrange the tour to a reassuring WhatsApp message the day before to confirm arrangements, I felt assured that this was a well organised and trustworthy company. Maciej my guide arrived promptly at a convenient meeting point and explained his plans for the day, with thoughtfully planned comfort breaks and a lunch stop. The tour lasted around 11 hours and covered a wide area with the opportunity to see 8 wooden churches, each with a distinctive architectural style. Local guides had been booked in advance to open up the buildings and reveal the intricate and beautiful polychrome decoration which dates back hundreds of years. The whole day was very well planned, and the pace of the trip was perfect. Maciej is a safe driver and a thoughtful and knowledgeable guide who went out of his way to ensure I enjoyed the tour. A unique and memorable experience, Thankyou!

          Not claustrophobia
          I was worried about feeling claustrophobic as don’t like small spaces. I need not have worried. The smallest place is where you queue to get into the mines and this was not cramped. If you can cope with the entrance you will be fine, if you don’t like it, you can leave at this point. I would say try and persevere as the walk ways are light and airy and not cramped. Most of the area are large and spectacular and this trip is amazing

          A great castle tour with a very knowledgeable driver and tour guide
          We were collected on time from our hotel by a friendly good safe driver. He kept us informed about timings and plans to visit various castles including one used in Game of Thrones all along the eagles nest chain. Great informative tour and all entrance fees are included.

          Custom Castle and Czestochowa Day Trip
          This was our second tour in a week with our guide, Maciej (Matthew). We intended to rent a car and do this tour on our own, but we were able to experience so much more with Maciej without the worry about opening times, parking, schedules, and all the other logistics that he handled seamlessly for us. I'm so glad we had Maciej as our guide! The van was comfortable and Maciej was an excellent driver, telling us about the area and stopping along the route for unique photo opportunities, including some unexpected surprises. He really customized this experience for us and we highly recommend him. We really enjoyed visiting so many castles and the monestary visit to see the black Madonna in Czestochowa was wonderful. Similar to our other tour with Maciej, we had plenty of time for photos and visiting each site. There were also sufficient rest stops for coffee/snacks and toilets. Maciej is an excellent and safe driver, which we appreciated. We spent about 13 hours total with Maciej for this tour and look forward to booking with him again in the future. Thank you, Maciej, for such a memorable day!

          Day Trip of a Lifetime
          We had a wonderful time touring the wooden churches in lesser Poland. Our guide, Maciej (Matthew), was excellent and he really made the tour special for us. There were plenty of opportunities for photos at each church, and Maciej knew all the best spots for photos! We had sufficient rest stops for coffee/snacks and toilets, and a delicious Polish lunch along the way. Maciej was also an excellent and safe driver, which we appreciated. We would not have been able to coordinate such a trip on our own. We were so impressed that we booked a second tour. Thank you, Maciej, for such a memorable day!

          Amazing day
          We had a wonderful day exploring the castles in the Eagle's Nest tour. The different castles vary from large, sprawling ruins to fully renovated (and containing museums). Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, plus the small group size (there were just 4 of us) meant that we got personal attention. Very highly recommended.

          Great trip to see the castles near Krakow
          We had the most amazing experience with Maciek . From start to finish, he went above and beyond to ensure our trip was perfect. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the area but also friendly and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. Maciek is incredibly patient, always answering our questions with a smile and making adjustments to the itinerary to accommodate our needs. He even took us to some hidden gems that only locals know about, and added personal touch to the tour that made it unforgettable. We can’t recommend Maciek enough – if you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your experience and will go out of their way to make it special, Maciek is the guide for you!

          Super experience!
          Super experience. Maciek is amazing. We were a group of 3 adults and 2 kids booked to the river rafting and from the moment we met he was friendly, kind, very experienced and great with our small kids. We had a good time and Maciek suggested a few things to try based on his knowledge and I'm glad we did! Maciek knows a lot and I'm sad that we met only at the end of our holiday as I would have liked him to take us on other outings especially to the country/mountain areas outside Krakow.

          Beautiful Dunajec River Gorge!
          We had a great tour of the Dunajec River Gorge thanks to Poland Active Day Tours! We were picked up and greeted right on time by Maciej in Krakow. It was a scenic 2 hour ride to Southern Poland with Maciej pointing out various points of interest and stopping at a beautiful . We started with an easy 8 mile + ride along side the Dunajec river through the river gorge. We then got on a raft and paddled back down the river. What a great time! Thanks Maciej and Poland Active Day Tours!!

        Used Poland active as we were unable to book a French tour directly from the official site. Efficient option as all is organised and makes the trip very easy. Would recommand.

        Obviously a visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau is a sobering event but it's hard to imagine not going when in the area. Michael kindly provided our private transfer to and from the location and he was informative and friendly - kudos to him for his role in making this a good experience. Our guide in the camps was also excellent as she walked up through the buildings and also shared a bit of her own personal connection. Overall I can't think of any way in which this trip could have been improved - it was very efficiently organized and exactly as described.

        *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
