DISREPUTABLE! BAIT AND SWITCH. We signed up for a 9am Auschwitz tour. It takes 60 to 90 minutes…read moreto go from Krakow to the camp. We were texted by this tour group, loyaltyComFort Tours, the night before saying the pick up would now be at 5 AM. When you try to call them as I did about 20 times no one answers. A driver contacts you via text to confirm your 5 AM pick up, but will not speak to you either. To get reserved tickets for Auschwitz it must be done many weeks if not months in advance. To get it closer to the date which we did about a week before, they don't tell you this, but they basically take you at the crack of dawn for you to wait in line to get your own ticket. The line forms around 5 AM and they don't sell tickets until 7:30. Then after waiting in line for another hour or so, when you finally get up to the ticket window, you get a timed entrance for much later in the day, so you're just hanging around with nothing to do. And yes, it's a guided tour of about 25 people but not by your tour company, but by an official tour guide at the camp. That is the only way they will let you tour Auschwitz. The camp does a really good job. It's really shameful that this is ComFort Tours modus operandi. I would recommend getting your tickets on the Auschwitz website itself or going through your hotel for someone reputable that won't pull this on you. Apparently several companies do this.

Visited Auschwitz on Tuesday 30th July through Comfort tours. An absolutely incredible experience…read more Brilliantly organised and the tour guide Jacob was outstanding & very friendly & informative.. I can't recommend highly enough. If you are travelling to Krakow these guys will see you right..

We booked the Old Town Kraków and Wawel Castle walking tour. Victoria was excellent in giving us…read morethe historical facts while blending in the local folklore. We saw many things that we wouldn't have seen (or noticed) had we done it on our own. The legend of the 2 towers (and brothers) of St. Mary's and the knife is just one of many examples. We also learned the reason why the trumpeter abruptly stops playing his bugle call (Hejnał Mariacki) every hour. We met Victoria and the rest of the group (about 25 people) near the Barbican. Just look for the yellow umbrella with their logo. It initially rained in the beginning, but it cleared up as we were on our way through Old Town. There is so much history in Kraków. This tour gave us insight into the most important museums to visit as well as the architecture surrounding us. There was the Ironman competition obstacle that we had to overcome when approaching the castle. She quickly & professionally navigated our way through it without any interruption to the tour. It ended up being a sunny day once we reached the castle walls. The tour of the castle grounds was the highlight with its beautiful gardens. We will choose Walkative again in the future. They have walking tours in many European cities. I first learned about it through a Yelp friend's review of her Barcelona tour. Thanks Helene! Knowing what I know now, I wish we had booked one for Plaszow and the Jewish Quarter. They offer so many different tours. It's absolutely worth it! On that note, make sure you tip your guide well. They are the ones that make this experience so special. They are a wealth of knowledge. I very highly recommend these tours!
