Guided trip
Looking for a short trip loaded with authentic experiences, good food, and many laughs? You’ve come to the right place! Welcome 😎 I’m Vicky, a 27-year-old adventurous soul passionate about experiencing and sharing the beauty of our world. This time, I’m bringing you a 4-day/3-night trip to Krakow, one of Poland’s oldest and most beautiful cities. We’re talking culture, history - Auschwitz, salt mines, cobblestone alleyways, charming city nights, 14th-century castle, laughs, new friends and real, authentic Polish food! I’ve been to Krakow many times, and it is by far my favorite city in Poland. I’ve planned this trip to deliver a full experience of the city, local life, and nearby ‘must-see’ day trips. You will leave fully satisfied, with great memories and a full stomach! 🥳 The full itinerary can be found below! The price includes: - Central accommodation right at Krakow’s main square (3 nights in beautiful and modern apartments, 3–4 persons) - Full trip organisation - City guide & map - Guided day trip to Auschwitz & Birkenau concentration camps (incl. transportation, entry tickets, guide & packed lunch) - Guided trip to Wieliczka salt mine (incl. transportation, entry tickets, guide, and an additional entry to the Graduation Tower to relax and de-stress our bodies after all the site-seeing 😊) - Walking trip around the Jewish Quarter, Wawel Castle & the old town (dependent on your arrival/departure times) - 3x breakfasts, drinks, coffee/tea - 2x dinners (2/3 courses & drink - no set meal plans - the choice is yours) - 3hr cooking class & dinner (hand-making pierogi!) - Snacks, fruit & water in the apartment - An ‘end of trip’ cultural surprise 😉 - Local recommendations (if staying longer) - Support and care during the trip! Exclusions: - Flights (some popular airlines - Ryanair, EasyJet, EuroWings, Lufthansa, SAS, Wizz) - Airport transfers (approx. prices: train €4, Uber €15, taxi €22) - Lunch (included on day 2 only) There will also be some free time to explore the city on your own if you wish. All activities are optional or/and can be individually supplemented if you feel like something isn't for you – I will happily organise and adjust to ensure you’re comfortable. Activities can also be rearranged if needed to suit arrival/departure times. The trip begins and ends in Krakow. Maximum 7 people in total 😊 As you can see, everything is taken care of on this trip, all you have to do is pack your smile and show up! 🙌 Got some questions? Ask away in the Q&A below.

Trip Itinerary
1

Kraków

Day 1-2
Arrival day - If you arrive early, you can store your bags at the apartments before check-in, pick up your city guide & map and explore some of Krakow’s beautiful streets, sites and nature. I will be in the city from early morning and will be happy to assist in any way needed. Check-in is from 3pm and once everyone arrives and settles in... We’ll be straight into getting our hands white and sticky, putting together some dumplings at the Pierogi Cooking Class! After the meal we can have a walk around the main square – this city is extra magical at night!

Memorial and Museum Auschwitz II-Birkenau

Day 2-3
Day trip - Auschwitz & Birkenau camps Early breakfast at accommodation Today takes us back to the times of World War 2, as we explore the largest Nazi concentration camp on a guided tour. This place is like no other, the experience of walking these grounds shakes you with every step. It is real and raw. As you tour and learn about this place, your life becomes more valuable than ever. This is a must-see for everyone, even those not overly fascinated by the topic of history. Krakow –> Auschwitz takes approx. 1.5hrs each way. Transportation, entry tickets to both camps, guide and packed lunch are all included on tour. When we get back to Krakow, we will head out to a local restaurant for a well-deserved meal and a Polish beer!

Wieliczka Salt Mine

Day 3-4
After breakfast we will grab a local train from a nearby station and head to Wieliczka village to visit the salt mine (approx. 25mins). We will have an underground guided tour of the 13th century mine, Wieliczka – one of UNESCO World Heritage sites, discovering the interior of our earth through labyrinthine passageways and witnessing an underground lake, numerous chapels and statues carved out of the rock salt by the miners. Our tour will be followed by an entry into the Graduation Tower, an inhalation sanctuary constructed with blackthorns and flowing water, aimed to soothe, relax and improve our breathing. After all that relaxation, we will head back to the city and have a little time to rest, shop or explore before ending the day with a delicious traditional Polish dinner 😊

Kraków

Day 4
After we check-out, we will leave our bags at the apartments reception and take a stroll to the Jewish Quarter to grab breakfast and coffee/tea at a super cool, vibey café. Afterwards we can explore this great area more (depending on everyone’s departure times) and have our final see-you-later’s at a local bar in a well-preserved 19th century old building! For those staying longer in the city, I can provide other local recommendations, tips and advice for further exploring.
