Oscar and Alexandra were great!! They picked us up at the airport and we went straight to our tour. They were both very accommodating of our needs.

Itinerary
Our English-speaking driver will pick you up from your hotel or any location you specify in the reservation.
After approximately one hour of travel, you will have a short restroom break. During this time, our driver will coordinate your meeting with the guide. You will then spend around 2 hours with the guide at the main camp, Auschwitz I.
After visiting the first camp, there will be a 20-minute break. During this time, I will take you to the former unloading ramp known as the Judenrampe. For logistical reasons, this site is not included in the guided tour, but I believe it is an important place that completes the overall visit. During this break, you may also eat a lunch box, which you can order from us in advance
After the break, you will continue to Auschwitz II–Birkenau, the largest part of the former concentration and extermination camp complex. Together with a licensed guide, you will spend approximately 1.5 hours exploring the site. During the visit, you will see the remains of gas chambers and crematoria, the railway ramp, wooden and brick barracks, and learn about the daily life and fate of the prisoners. This part of the tour provides essential historical context and helps fully understand the scale and significance of the Auschwitz complex
After the tour, you will meet your driver again and begin the return journey to your hotel in Kraków

Booked w. Trip Advisor but dealt directly with “Your Krakow Journey- Transfers & Tours” Oskar and Aleksandra. They were so wonderful & patiently answered all my questions & took us on the perfect day tour. Handled every detail perfectly and even got me a gluten free sandwich for the lunch break between Auschwitz & Birkenau concentration camps. I highly recommend them & wish I could spend each day with them here on our vacation. Everything & every detail was perfect from booking through the entire tour day. Loved them! They are kind helpful and really provide the best possible experience! They are the best!!!
After having our trip cancelled a couple of weeks beforehand from another company, we found this tour. It could not have been better in every way, the attention to details on the pickup, communication, timings, we really did que jump by doing the first tour (worth the early alarm) and our tour guide was fascinating and so respectful and knowledgeable. Amazing experience.
Oskar is a good guy. Airport pick up and straight to our hotel. Then pick up the following day for private transport to the salt mines then to Auschwitz.. highly recommended, clean car and very trustworthy. Thank you Oskar and Aleksandra
Very memorable trip to Auschwitz, would highly recommend Your Krakow, smooth pickup & pleasant ride from Krakow to Auschwitz. During ride was provided lots on insight into Auschwitz & surrounding sub-camps. Will definitely be booking through Your Krakow for my next tour.
Oskar was really professional and the experience was wonderful
It was very well done. Learned a lot. Spent a couple of hours in Aushwitz 1. Definitely the small group experience was worth it. Felt a bit rushed at aushwitz 2. Would have loved to spend another 30 mins there, but still saw the main things .. great guide.
Our driver Wiktor was right on time and well managed our trip. Thank you to Damian for saving our trip after an other company cancelled our trip 3 days before... Once again thanks to Damian and Wiktor.
First class service on time very courteous and provided a very good packed lunch
We had a great time. They are very experienced and knowledgeable.
From arranging the whole multiple excursions a few months ago to payment to pick up in hotel to the pacing of the whole day, we felt very special and taken cared of. Oskar was amazing and easy to talk to. He really accommodated all our request
Well organized and they all friendly
Excellent experience: communication, pickup, connecting us to our guide ( who was amazing) and making sure we were always comfortable with connections through two sites. Highly recommend.
This was a great trip, highly recommended. We where picked up at the hotel by a friendly and serviceminded driver. The car and the seats was great. We were always given a big lunchbag with a fresh sandwich, juice, fryit and much more. We were well taken care of, and will definetly use them again.
This trip was seamless Everything was organised We had a great time to start Alexandra was a perfect chauffeur with a nice comfortable car to travel in. The camps were very well kept and the guide was very knowledgeable
This was an amazing experience. The tour guide was able to arrange the ticket for us, despite it being sold out the day before. First class service, also great conversation and very friendly.
We were very happy with this tour provider -- the small group tour (only 8 ppl total in our group) was much better than wandering around in a large group of 30-40, and we were able to ask our guide many questions. We also paid a bit extra (80USD) for private transport from Krakow to/from Auschwitz, which was well worth the cost. We were picked up just outside our Airbnb, and returned to almost the same spot. The actual tour time ended up being different from what we booked, but that seems to be common given how the tours operate at Auschwitz, since the guides work for the museum, not for the tour company. Door to door, the tour lasted about 6 hours.
We had a great experience with Thomas, our driver. He was punctual, informative, polite, and was good to give suggestions on options for our tours. The tour director Oskar was very helpful, quick to respond to messages and gives the full details and cost of the tours. We would use them again.
Greatly arranged with hotel pick up. Being in a smaller group really helped following along guide and see all parts. Would recommend this tour and operator.
Tour Company: Your Krakow Journey. Oskar Mielniczek Rank 10 of 10. On time. Great English. Very knowledgeable Took me places not on official tour as well. Knowledgeable about than Auschwitz I would definitely hire Your Krakow Journey again!
Wonderfull!!! All recommend! Very sad but memorable experience. Good organozation and transport service
Really great experience, very good driver, everything was clear and laid out, didn't had to think about planning or anything.
Oskar picked us up at our AirBnB and drove us to the memorial. He was very professional, kind, and friendly and drove my family of 4 to the tour. When you arrive a small group tour is provided with headsets and you walk around the grounds where over a million people were killed by forced labor or gas chambers and incinerators. It’s very powerful and sad to be onsite and you gain a much deeper understanding of history. This is a must do if visiting the area.
We had a great experience with Oskar, he recomended the early tour which is less crowded . Auschwitz was not so suited for my 80 year old parents but we mannaged to do the first tour with the Auschwitz guide which was very proffesional . After which Oskar took care of lunch boxses and personaly took us with his car there and back.
We had a great tour with Damien. The starting time and location were communicated clearly. He was great to talk to and the transport went very smoothly. Damien was very accommodating and ended up dropping us off at the airport on our way back so we can catch our flight.
Overall tour was well planned and very informative. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kept us to time. One downfall is we had booked it for 9am pick up and were informed late afternoon the day before via WhatsApp that our pick up was now 5.50am!! And that there was no alternative time or trips that day so if we could not make it we would loose our money, this brought down our overall experience as it impacted our plans the previous day also
I was lucky to choose Oscars taxi from the AirPort… and i told him i was going to book Auschwitz to the next day… then he told me about the difficult booking process.. You could book months in advance and the museum can call the day before and cancel… But Oscar and he’s partner Damian got us two tickets! We are so grateful. Everything was great. D❤️
I initially found Oskar online and after reading all the glowing tour reviews I knew I had to book with him. I booked the private transport package with seperate tickets. I did not realize I was supposed to purchase my own tickets. 🤦🏻♀️ My booking was very last minute and I did not do my research. Long story short. Oskar contacted me immediately and when I explained I had no tickets and no plan he went out of his way to secure tickets for my family at a time (afternoon) that was best for us and in our home language (English). Oskar set everything up for us. He booked the transport and our tickets and secured our small group guide. We just had to walk out of our hotel at noon like a celebrity and we were greeted with an excellent driver (Kristof) who held our hand through the entire process. It was the most stress free day for my family of four. Oskar was not able to drive us but he did meet up with us to ensure all went well!! I HIGHLY recommend his service !! 10/10!!! Thank you so much Oskar! Great communication! Great service! Friendly! Reliable! Trustworthy!!
The driver was nice and friendly. The concentration camps were very informative. It was a good learning experience
The trip was booked with Oskar who made all the arrangements. He collected us from our hotel in Krakow, providing a private transfer to Auschwitz- Birkenau, where our tickets were waiting for a small group tour of Auschwitz. After the tour, he took us to the second part of the tour at Birkenau. At the end of the tour we were transported back to our hotel in Krakow. Water is provided in the car and the possibility of a lunch box if desired. Oskar was very personable, professional and an excellent host fur the trip. Thanks for a great day!
This was my first time in Poland and we were staying in Krakow. I had done a lot of research. Even still, there were still a lot of unknowns. I decided to work with Oskar because he simplified the process for me. He booked and reserved our tickets at the time we wanted. He picked us up from our hotel and ensured that we knew where to go and what to do so there was no confusion. I saw a lot of other tourists who looked a little loss in the process and there were a lot of people. Oskar was great. He was always there when we were done and drove us back to our hotel. His vehicle was very clean and plush. Highly recommend! Very Nice and Reliable.
Oscar was a fantastic tour guide really planned the trip out well, very reliable great communication and on time would thoroughly recommend
Adrian our driver was brilliant with door to door experience he was very knowledgeable and was very helpful and polite would definitely use again
Oscar was an excellent driver—punctual, professional, and equipped with a very comfortable vehicle. He thoughtfully organized our entire tour and was always easy to communicate with. Since we were on the first tour of the day, he even made sure to have food prepared for us during the midway break, which was a much-appreciated touch.
Awesome experience and driver was on time and very accomodating. Tks
Prompt and o time, nice driver Aleksandra. Provided us with decent breakfast lunch, arrived in good time. All went to plan.
Oskar organised an absolutely exceptional trip to Auschwitz for us—truly seamless from start to finish. He collected us promptly in a lovely, comfortable car and took care of every detail, including arranging tickets and a guide on arrival, which made the whole experience stress-free and well-paced. He remained attentive throughout, coordinating the transition to Birkenau and ensuring everything ran smoothly, before driving us back to Kraków. His knowledge, warmth, and professionalism really stood out—he struck the perfect balance between being informative and respectful, which is so important for such a significant visit. In addition, Oskar also organised my airport transfer and shared some fantastic recommendations for things to do and places to visit, which really enhanced our overall trip. I genuinely cannot recommend him highly enough—an outstanding guide and a pleasure to spend time with.
Top-notch experience! The guide was very kind to us and accommodated our requests. I recommend it
The museum was very good and also worth seeing before going to Birkenau. The driver was really great. Unfortunately, we are not good at English. He gave us German materials where we could read everything again. We were picked up separately from our location, which was not specified. Great effort from Damian!!!! 💪🏼 The tour led by the young woman was also very good. She answered questions and was attentive to everyone. She presented everything well but spoke very quickly. But it was also an English tour. What we could not understand there was clarified by Damian's reading.
The truth is that it has been very friendly, got us the tickets with Spanish guides!!!
