It was very interesting. The guide was great and knew his way around very well. However, the tour was booked in German and was conducted in English. Not a problem for us, but when the tour is booked in German because you don't speak English, it's very annoying. It was also inconvenient that I booked the tour for 13:00 and it was then rescheduled for 7:15. So the organization leaves something to be desired. But in the end it was a very interesting, informative and yet very depressing and thought-provoking tour.

l'esperienza sarebbe stata molto più valida se non ci fosse arrivata un messaggio il giorno prima della visita che il nostro tour in italiano era stato annullato e ci davano opzione sosgtitutiva solo per le 8:30 della mattina dopo solo in inglese, non avendo nessuna alternativa, due di noi non capiscono l'inglese. non avnedo alternative abbiamo dovuto accettare ma logicamente le due persone non hanno capito nulla. assurdo, abbiamo prenotato due mesi prima e ci è stato cancellato il pomeriggio prima. Abbiamo così buttato via anche i soldi dell'albergo per una notte in più. Vi avrei scritto per un risarcimento. che modo di lavorare. se volete potete contattarmi.

The guidance was really nice as well as the experience. But we had a last time change to the time of the visit and we have notified by the tour company via WhatsApp and headout didn't send us an official email for the different time of the tour.

Our guide, Magdalena was great: she told us many many facts and was answering all our questions. This is a hard tour, to take it in how low we can go as a specie.

Your Experience

Head over to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum, one of the most visited historic destinations in the world with a tragic past. The journey from Krakow should take you about 1.5 hours. Once you arrive, you will meet your host who will give you the ticket and escort you to the group. Make your way past the queue line with this pre-booked ticket and pass through security before entering the Memorial.

At the Auschwitz I Museum, join a tour group of up to 30 people led by an authorized official Auschwitz-Birkenau guide. Get a glimpse into the heartrending treatment of the prisoners of the Holocaust and their everyday life. While Auschwitz I was the main administrative building, Auschwitz II was built for the purpose of extermination. On your tour, you will visit buildings consisting of the belongings of the Jews who entered the camps. See the ruins of cabins and crematoriums in Birkenau. Catch sight of watchtowers, railway ramps, and a former gas chamber – all of which have played a role in the industrialized genocide that took place here.

The total duration of the tour is approximately 3.5 hours. You will spend 1.5-2 hours at Auschwitz and 1-1.5 hours at Birkenau.
