Auschwitz-Birkenau & Salt Mine Tour
Be prepared for an early start but it is all worth it. Auschwitz-Birkenau was our first stop and our guide was absolutely fantastic. If you travel to Krakow then make sure you include this as part of your time there. The second visit of the day was the Salt Mine and again a great experience. Great guide; very knowledgeable and just an enjoyable experience. Only disappointment was the fact my husband missed out travelling in the miner style lifts.

Excellent company that you should use
I don’t normally write reviews but I thought this company deserved one from start to finish everything was excellent. We were kept informed of our pickup time which was from our hotel and was bang on time. The driver tomasz was great and kept us informed all the way and everything ran well and on time. The tours themselves were good and informative and the guide at auschwitz was great and put all the information across to us very well. Salt mines were also good to look around Overall I would recommend using this company for the tours to anyone that would be looking to book this experience

Why this scores 86
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Day Trip Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka Salt Mine from Krakow: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Krakow.
How much does Day Trip Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka Salt Mine from Krakow cost?
+
Prices start at $141 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Krakow usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Day Trip Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka Salt Mine from Krakow take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Krakow is not rushed.
Is Day Trip Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka Salt Mine from Krakow worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 4,420 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Krakow, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Day Trip Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka Salt Mine from Krakow?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Day Trip Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka Salt Mine from Krakow suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day Trip Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka Salt Mine from Krakow?
+
Around 1,547 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Krakow can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Krakow and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day Trip Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka Salt Mine from Krakow start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Krakow within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Krakow?
+
On Outty we rank every Krakow experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Complete Cracow Bike Tour (small group of maximum 15 people!), Krakow–Zakopane: Cable Car, Chocholow Baths, Cheese & Vodka, Krakow: Zakopane & Hot Springs Tour with Cable Car (Hotel Pickup). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Krakow?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Krakow?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
