Nearly never made it
Great trip with fantastic tour guides. Was on coach 5 with Kassa who was brilliant and helped my partner and I get in when we had forgot our id. Luckily had a photo of my driver's license on my phone.

Disappointed
Canceled two days before our Auschwitz tour We booked an Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka Salt Mine day trip well in advance, believing our reservation was secured. Just two days before the tour, SuperCracow canceled, initially telling us they were unable to secure a guide. When I contacted them afterward, they confirmed that they also did not have Auschwitz entry tickets in our names. By that point the official Auschwitz reservations were completely sold out, leaving us scrambling for alternatives while already traveling to Kraków. I understand that circumstances can change, and we did receive a refund, but selling and maintaining a confirmed reservation without having secured the necessary admission, then canceling only two days beforehand, is unacceptable for something travelers often plan months in advance. I would not rely on this company for a time-sensitive Auschwitz visit.
Response from the operator: We sincerely apologize for the cancellation and the inconvenience caused. We understand your frustration, especially with only two days’ notice. We tried to secure a guide for your group until the very last moment, but unfortunately we were unable to obtain the necessary arrangements for the visit. We’re sorry we couldn’t provide a suitable alternative. SuperCracow Team

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Krakow: Auschwitz & Wieliczka Salt Mine Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Krakow.
How much does From Krakow: Auschwitz & Wieliczka Salt Mine Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $109 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 From Krakow: Auschwitz & Wieliczka Salt Mine Guided Tour take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 From Krakow: Auschwitz & Wieliczka Salt Mine Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 608 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Krakow, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Krakow: Auschwitz & Wieliczka Salt Mine Guided Tour?
+
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 From Krakow: Auschwitz & Wieliczka Salt Mine Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Krakow: Auschwitz & Wieliczka Salt Mine Guided Tour?
+
Around 213 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Krakow: Auschwitz & Wieliczka Salt Mine Guided Tour 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 to Auschwitz Birkenau Guided Tour with Transfer and Ticket. 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.
What is included in From Krakow: Auschwitz & Wieliczka Salt Mine Guided Tour?
+

Not included: Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does From Krakow: Auschwitz & Wieliczka Salt Mine Guided Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 172 listed pickup locations in and around Krakow. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is From Krakow: Auschwitz & Wieliczka Salt Mine Guided Tour offered in?
+
