My experience was not so pleasant as the guide was not Spanish. He spoke Spanish well but was not to our liking.

Very respectful guide, great and informative narrative, always happy to return, highly recommended! The only thing I found inappropriate is that you get stickers on your jacket so that you can tell who belongs to which tour group! I understand very well that you have to keep people together and recognize who belongs to which guide, but after the Jews were marked with stars, I find the sticker system a bit inappropriate for this place, something else would have to be thought of! But the tour and the guide were very respectful and appreciative, appropriate to the place and the situation!

The organizer was very fast and difficult to understand. However, the guide was very interesting and answered questions; you could tell she was passionate.

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.
