Powerful History, a bucket list must

Kids should be over 12, prepare for a lot of walking, go in the fall and prepare to be spiritually moved.

Professional tour operators

From start to finish Mr Shuttle gave the best professional experience. We booked a tour and then decided to book another on same day. This got changed straight away with no hassle. We were contacted the day before our tour through text and email of pick up time. Piotr our driver picked us up on schedule, he was friendly and helpful throughout the day. I will definitely use Mr Shuttle again. Thank you!

Excellent experience

I've had two separate tours, both morning, one for salt mine and for Auchwitz with Mr Shuttle this week. Don't hesitate to book with them. Perfect from start to finish. On time, informative, helpful. I am a solo traveller and if or rather when I come back to krakow, I will definitely use Mr Shuttle for any tour. Thank you Mr S.
