Uncover the best of Birkenau the local Way

"Bartek picked us up at the hotel for our drive down to Auschwitz. Extremely friendly, and knowledgeable, he chatted with us about Poland, answering our questions, giving us tips etc. He had bought our tickets for the tour inside Auschwitz (he could not guide us inside), dropped us, took my WhatsApp number so that he could communicate where he would meet us at the end of the tour. After the tour ended, he brought us back, stopping at a restaurant in the middle for some pierogi and coffee before dropping us back at our hotel. I truly wish I had booked more tours with Bartek. I will next time. We highly recommend Bartek for tours in Krakow. "

"We had an awesome walking tour with Bartek through the Jewish quarter and Jewish Ghettos. He is extremely knowledgeable with plenty of insight . I would highly recommend Bartek for any tour. Thank you Bartek for making our visit so special . "

"From start to finish, Bartek made sure every aspect of our experience was excellent. Pickup perfect and right at our location, a drive out to Auschwitz’s filled with personal anecdotes and warm, friendly conversation, and great communication so we always knew where to find him. He also arranged a private tour of Auschwitz for us with one of the museum guides which is well worth doing to make the experience more personalized. A wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend Bartek!"

"Bartek arranged our tour of Auschwitz as well as a tour of the Jewish Museum in Oswiecim, a few kilometers from the Memorial. He is knowledgeable about Polish history and is enjoys teaching others about his country. Bartel was also very adaptable - helping to pick us up in the pouring rain from the Memorial and arranging a spur-of-the-moment-trip to the Jewish Cemetery in Oswiecim, including securing a key to the cemetery and driving us to the location. He also provided a lot of information on the history of Krakow on our drive. "

"We did the Krakow walking tour with Bartek and it was great. He knows so much history and shares it so easily, including sharing all the local myths and fables. Fun day and great hanging out with him. We ended up booking a couple of extra tours with him. Bartek certainly made our stay in Krakow special. "

"This was our first visit to Krakow and our private city walking tour with Tomasz was the perfect introduction to this beautiful city. Over the course of 2 1/2 hours we explored the Old Town and the university and felt like we left with a great appreciation for both Poland’s history and for modern day Krakow. Tomasz speaks perfect English and possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of Polish history. We highly recommend him as a guide. "

"Bartek was both knowledgeable about history and friendly! We recommend booking him for all your tours in Krakow. "

"Bartek was such a nice and cool guide, we totally enjoyed our tour with him. We definetely reccomend the experience, everything was impeccable, from the pick up, the ride, the tour, the stories about Poland. It was a delightfull experience. Thank you, Bartek. "

"Aleksander provided and excellent introduction for my visit to Aushcwitz-Birkenauer. At the site I joined an official tour group in English (private guides are not permitted). Aleksander had obtained hard to get tickets the moment I made a reservation with him and from pick-up to delivery back to Krakow he provided exemplary service and background information. A private car nd driver is a great way to get to and from Auschwitz. An experienced guide Aleksander is highly recommended and I would use again without hesitation."
