The driver contacted us the evening before to provide us with additional details for the pickup from Krakow city center. They arrived on time and we had a comfortable ride from the city to the memorial site where a guide was already expecting us to and led us through both Auschwitz I and Auschwitz-Birkenau, with transfer in between. It was a memorable experience for all of us. The guide was extremely knowledgable about the history of the camps, pointing out details and always engaged with our group. The transfer back to Krakow went smoothly, too.Excellent Service, visited Cracow for the second time and it was perfect choice. Hotel pick up, guide with excellent English. Also our driver Janus was very informative
