The Auschwitz tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us very important information. The company only sent us an e-mail, but we would have expected them to provide more detailed information via a platform such as WhatsApp a day in advance. The minibus and travel were very comfortable.This review is translated. Show original review.Shauna

The collection point of the driver and the bus escort was fantastic, they explained everything of how long the journey will be, how long the guide tour will be. The auschwitz and birkenau camps was heartbreaking, the tour guide was fantastic explaining everything in details, we left the camp mentally challenged after what we were told and seen how they lived their lives at the camps. Overall it's highly recommended.

Very good visit, very necessary so that we cannot relive what happened there. The schedules were changed, as well as the meeting point, although it did not affect our plans. The assistance of the guide Olivia gave us a very complete picture about everything that happened in the concentration and extermination camps. It is not a pretty experience, it is hard, but very enlightening.View original review in SpanishPoveda

Concerning the visit itself, we liked our guide - Agnieszka, it was very interesting to listen to her explanations. The bus and transfering from the first to the second camp was very speedy, we were running to the toilets !!! as the agency accompanator gave us five minutes only. But finally I understood that timing was not bad at all!
Haunting exploration of Auschwitz-Birkenau
Travel comfortably from Krakow in an air-conditioned vehicle to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial Museum.

A glimpse into the unthinkable
Here, you will be led to block 11, notoriously known as 'the prison within the prison', home to brutal torture chambers and initial extermination attempts using Zyklon B. The tour continues to KL Auschwitz 2 Birkenau, where over 1 million lives were lost. This engaging, expert-guided tour, available in the language of your preference, concludes with a reflective visit to the Memorial, where you can pay your respects to the victims of this horrific genocide.
