It was the cheapest one I could find, they changed the time but it was still within the acceptable range. The guide didn't go as in depth as she could have but she did make sure to let us know everything during the bus. The driver was charming and very funny from the first moment. The guide simply came to give us the explanation in Spanish but I did not understand very well the presence of another guide who had accreditation to guide us but did not know Spanish. Basically we had two guides but only one spoke Spanish and the other had permission to give the explanation which she did not give. That generated a bit of bewilderment and disappointment. But overall the experience was good, at least they didn't cancel it like other families.

For transparency of service and management. Entrance to Auschwitz at the moment is limited (the reason is unknown to us) and therefore to ensure our entry, the agency organized the trip at 1.35 am. .... we waited about 7 hours but we ensured our visit . After talking to other French people, several of them were "misled" by agencies and were unable to visit. This explains my comment: a transparent, responsible agency that was able to guarantee us service even though the conditions were more than unusual. Room for improvement: blankets, coffee and better organization for the compulsory wait to guarantee entry.

The small bus picked us up at the scheduled time. The 1.5 hour transfer was comfortable and our driver was a safe driver! Our guide on the bus provided information on the way to the two camps and guided us through the two concentration camps. He provided a lot of information about how the initial selection process occurred, their daily life of misery, torture, medical experimention, starvation, abuse and death from the conditions, gun executions, hanging, and the gas chambers were for Jewish men, women, and children. We also saw the furnaces in Auschwitz were so many victims were cremated in a vain attempt to hide their crimes. It was a somber, heart wrenching day that I will never forget.

    Great experience overall. Firstly everything was excellent relatively with the pick up-ticket and guide and drop off procedure. About the Auschwitz I and II camp the visit and the descriptions about the facts and the actions that took place there and especially all the horrible things that suffered over 1.000.000 people there, from the insane men of Nazi and especially the SS forces, made me feel to be ashamed about my humanitarian existence... It is a place that should always remind to the world that the human is unfortunately capable of doing the absolute bad, to provoke unspeakable pain. Humans have to consider what is the purpose of our existence in the earth. I believe that for sure is not to kill each other and give unstoppable pain... I believe we come to life to live happy with and among other people, to give and take love to create beautiful positive emotions.

    There was no experience at all. I am extremely surprised that you have the audacity to send me a review request. The reservation was cencelled. We paid for a trip that starts at 6 am and were at the meeting poit halfan hour earlier. But there was no place for us. After a long comunication with a chatbot we finally understood that ourr reservation was changed to 1:55am. And there was an e-mail in the middle of the night. Obviously we,as customers, have to check our mail every a hour at hight.Visiting Awschwitz was the main reason to visit Poland and the disappointed was huge. The only good thing was the Headout. Thanks to it support we coud get a full refund.

    The organizer of the trip was on time and accompanied us from the beginning of the pick-up to the return, giving us all the information we needed. I regret not having had enough time after visiting each camp to access the bookshops. The guide was exceptional: clear, accessible and solemn in tone, her description of past events was gripping and moving. I recommend a visit to Auschwitz/Birkenau to anyone going to Krakow, and I recommend headout, which entrusted the organization of this visit to "Royal Tour".

    Impressive (as expected), strenuous day event with a dedicated guide on site; unfortunately, with the large number of information points on the tour, there was little time to pause and reflect. The bad thing about the headout organization was that we were only informed the day before the tour in the afternoon that the confirmed booked departure was not at 10:00 (as requested), but already at 6:20 Hotel breakfast that had already been paid for could not be canceled due to the time. Such scheduling can be better organized !!!

    So well organised. I had heard horror stories about other companies making you leave at 1.30am and then making you stand in the rain / cold for hours to get tickets. Not the case with this company - tickets already provided. Slight change of the tour time, but this was communicated well the day prior. Our royal tours guide Jakob was very good & ensured the day ran smoothly. We opted for hotel pick up, and the vehicle was very comfortable and spatious. The auschwitz guide was amazing, so knowledgable and made the experience even better. Would highly recommend!

  • Auschwitz-Birkenau: Dive into history

    Departing from Krakow, you'll travel in air-conditioned comfort, soaking in the poignant narrative woven by your licensed guide. Be prepared to step into a haunting epoch of history as you walk through the infamous 'Arbeit Macht Frei' gate into Auschwitz I and traverse the 22 brick barracks that once housed hundreds of thousands of Holocaust victims.

    Unearthing the dark past and ticket options

    Witness the grim realities of the Holocaust as you venture into Block 11, a harrowing prison within the prison, home to torture chambers and the site of the first extermination attempts using Zyklon B gas. The next stop is Auschwitz II-Birkenau, a camp that sprawls over an area 25 times larger than Auschwitz I and stands as a chilling testament to the scale of Nazi atrocities. Your journey culminates in a solemn moment at the Memorial, offering a space to pay respects to the victims of this grim period. Depending on your chosen option, engage with a guide fluent in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, or Polish. This immersive experience comes with comfortable round-trip transfers from Krakow, ensuring a seamless journey.
