Combine two of Krakow's most iconic experiences in this convenient two day package, where on your first day you'll pay your respects at the harrowing but necessary site of Auschwitz, before spending your second day marvelling at the incredible salt mines at Wielickza.
On your first day, your personal driver for the day will pick you up from any point in the city at your pre-arranged time, before embarking on the 90-minute drive to reach Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Once there, your entrance fee already paid for and organised, you will begin the tour of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum, under the guidance of a local expert, who will share the tragic story of this place with you. After the tour, your driver will drop you back off in Kraków at the location you have arranged.
On your second day, easily organise a pick-up point from anywhere in Kraków, where you will be taken on the 30-minute drive to the Wieliczka Salt Mine. Then, you will descend the hundreds of steps into the deep, twisting salt maze that constitutes the mine (after smugly enjoying the queue jump benefit the private tour brings.)
135m underground, enveloped in the mineral-rich, therapeutically salty air, you are free to explore the seemingly endless passageways and secret corners, each holding exquisite salt constructions and sculptures. St. Kinga’s Salt Chapel is world’s largest underground church and the jewel in the crown of this subterranean city. Breathtakingly complex chandeliers, delicate spires and awe-inspiring caverns.
Understand the 700-year history of the mine, the myths it has been shrouded in, the stories that have seeped from the shafts. At the end of the tour, you’ll be transported back to a location of your choosing in the city of Kraków.
*Auschwitz – full day tour commencing 11am – private transfers/private guide – £380 total cost.
