The organisation before we arrived was handled well with even a last minute change of start time being organised perfectly. You guys made it simple to find the meeting point and you arrived on time. The tour of the first camp area was excellent with the headphones and guide speaking into a mic idea working really well and meaning we could hear everything perfectly. The tour of the second camp was also handled well . It's not an easy thing to present such a shocking and terrible place with sensitivity whilst allowing the group to learn about the history but you did it very well. Thank you.

A lot of important and detailed contextual information was given, which was super important and very good. The guide Lukas led the group through the two camps in a very respectful and appropriate manner. That was very important. At the end, he gave everyone a kind of closing statement, which once again made it clear that a visit to the two camps should not be a tourist attraction, but a place that shakes you up about current events and reminds you of the victims. Although it is a challenge, as there are many visitors every year, I found the visit very educational, appropriate and respectful. I recommend everyone to visit this place.

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.
