    We thought until the last that the tickets were a FRAUD, REALLY, everything went WELL and we paid 10€ for a tour that other sites were offering at much higher prices! They changed the time for us the day before, delaying it by 1 hour (meeting at 9:50), the meeting place was respected, no queue (except at the controls, as for everyone), great guide. RECOMMENDED

    It was a moment of introspection and awareness raising. We think we know everything that happened there, but only by visiting it do we realize that what we know is only a small part of what really happened. At least once in one's life one has a moral duty to visit a concentration camp to see the evil with one's own eyes and not to forget.

    Punctual and very correct Spanish language. More history and more details would be missing. There was a lot of time on the bus when we could have taken advantage of it and told more things.

    A visit to remember and never forget. A French-speaking guide made the visit very interesting. I highly recommend this tour.

    Miroslav was a very professional guide who touched me deeply with his heartfelt tour guidance. He gave all of himself to show us, explain to us, the horrendous past. I don't know how he does it day to day, it must take a huge toll on his health. I want to say to him his sacrifice is not unseened nor went unnoticed. Please take care, it was my privilege to have crossed paths with such a lovely gentleman. Norbert, our tour guide to Auschwitz, was also a lovely chap. His gentle ways were a pleasure to be in company to. I wish him well in his college studies and future endeavours.
  • 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.

    Unearthing the dark past and ticket options

    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. Depending on your chosen option, engage with a guide fluent in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, or Polish. This immersive experience comes with comfortable round-trip transfers from Krakow, ensuring a seamless journey.
