It was a great experience, thanks in particular to the guides who, with their knowledge, showed us and explained all the tragic history. And the professionalism of the drivers. I highly recommend it.

Regarding transportation, we were pleasantly satisfied. They anticipated the departure time from the meeting point by informing us via WhatsApp and later, to confirm it, both by message and e-mail. The guide has very basic English, we struggled a bit in understanding as he had a very pronounced Polish accent, however, it was an experience to have.

The schedule was very tight, so there was time for the restrooms and Birkenau, and the bookshop was already closed after the end of the tour.

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, and enjoy the convenience of an optional lunchbox. This immersive experience comes with comfortable round-trip transfers from Krakow, ensuring a seamless journey.
