Tour booked in Italian at 7 a.m. I was told at the time of booking that the start time of the tour could be changed. The afternoon before the tour we were informed that we would be leaving at 9:15. Regarding the language, about a week before we were told that it would not be possible to have the guide in Italian, so we would be aggregated with an English group at a 25% discount. I tried to ask to be aggregated with a group in other languages that I spoke better but the answer was a flat NO.

Fast transfer and very competent French guides... However, waking up was difficult, as the departure time booked and initially scheduled for 7:10 a.m. was brought forward by 1 hour the day before, without any explanation?

We had booked the experience with a French-speaking guide, but we had an English-speaking escort in the van between the meeting point and the Auschwitz site. How disappointing.

A bit confusing at pickup to find another operator representing Headout. However the rest of the day was well run. Auschwitz guide was pretty amazing. Informative and appropriately respectful considering the seriousness of the content we were invited to see.

It was a very moving visit. Our guide, who spoke French, balanced the visit perfectly between history, tributes and meditation. He concluded with a few words on the importance of visiting this memorial to honor the memory of those who died in the camps. For pick-up outside the camp, we opted for the "pick-up at a meeting point" option, with lunch box. The mini-bus journey went smoothly and took around 1h20. However, I wouldn't recommend the lunch box, which I found very light at a cost of €9.

Auschwitz-Birkenau: Dive into history

Departing from Krakow, you'll travel in air-conditioned comfort, soaking in the poignant narrative woven by your licensed guide. Be prepared to step into a haunting epoch of history as you walk through the infamous 'Arbeit Macht Frei' gate into Auschwitz I and traverse the 22 brick barracks that once housed hundreds of thousands of Holocaust victims.

Witness the grim realities of the Holocaust as you venture into Block 11, a harrowing prison within the prison, home to torture chambers and the site of the first extermination attempts using Zyklon B gas. The next stop is Auschwitz II-Birkenau, a camp that sprawls over an area 25 times larger than Auschwitz I and stands as a chilling testament to the scale of Nazi atrocities. Your journey culminates in a solemn moment at the Memorial, offering a space to pay respects to the victims of this grim period.
