Auschwitz - help

Help! I have spent days looking for a 'tour' with small-group transport (6-10 persons) from hotel or meeting point with a guaranteed departure time. There are tickets available for my date (Aug 19) and I would buy our tickets from auschwitz.org in advance so that we know when we go in. I know that that we could take a bus (30 people) or train (20-min walk), but we would like the simplicity of pickup/drop-off.

I have searched for days, but can only find private transport that is very expensive for just 2 people.

Does anyone know of a way that we (2 people) can get a small group (van) pickup to Auschwitz and back to Krakow that offers a guaranteed pickup time? There must be loads of visitors like me who would happily pay the price charged by so many companies that provide transportation + ticket. It seems the problems arise when the companies are trying to get tickets.

I can only find companies that have a variation of .... You will receive a message with the exact departure time by 7 pm on the day before the activity.

Many thanks.

Cheap, small group and a guaranteed pick-up time? If you have searched for days, it most likely mean it does not exit. I don't think there are loads of visitors like you at all. Lots of people take tours including both, transport and tickets, so do not need to book them separately, and vast majority of Europeans have no problem taking public transport if they want to go independently. That significantly reduces demand for such services.

We were able to book transportation for a group of 7 through Andrew Durman’s service. Mr. Durman is mentioned in Rick Steves guidebook: [email protected].
