Full description

Step into history with a visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial. Learn about the tragic history of the largest Holocaust memorial from your guide.

Be picked up from the comfort of your accommodation in Krakow and board a comfortable bus for the 1.5-hour trip to the Auschwitz-Birkenau complex, a historic site that serves as an important Holocaust memorial. 

Explore the museum in the outskirts of Oświęcim, approximately 60 kilometers west of Krakow. Upon arrival, meet a local guide who will show you around the site and tell you about its inhuman history.

Find out how Auschwitz-Birkenau has become both a symbol of human suffering and a witness to physical and emotional exhaustion during a respectful tour with a licensed guide.

Walk through the gate marked "Arbeit Macht Frei" (work frees) to enter Auschwitz 1, where your guide will show you around the preserved area and introduce the history of the place.

Spend approximately an hour in Birkenau, where the mass killings as part of the Nazi "Final Solution to the Jewish Question" took place. After the visit, you can reflect on the experience during the ride back to Krakow.

An exceptional guide whose name unfortunately and I apologize for not remembering. He carried out every explanation with a lot of love and a great ability to measure and use every word of the explanation in order to make us think and bring home the desire to delve deeper and know everything better. The time available was well calculated and we managed to see what the guide had to show us. Definitely a day full of strong emotions that have been in my head since the day of the visit

Everything simply perfect. Punctual, precise and organised. But the real strong point is the driving. Michele accompanied us, told us and made us live a unique experience - he knew how to involve us and made us experience these tragic events with great intelligence and sensitivity. Super guide.

We opted for the transfer from our hotel. Was very swiftly collected and deposited to the meeting point, where our driver waited until the main coach collected us. Our guide for the day was a lovely lady called Anna. The tour itself was fast paced so you do need to be quite fit to keep up. There’s not much time between both sites to visit the toilet so you need to be quick. Would highly recommend.
