Booked from Italy online without any problems. Paid online, a price that, in my opinion, was adequate for the offer and the place to visit. Unfortunately, there was no availability for a tour in Italian, but our English-speaking guide (which I understood) was wonderful. The trip was comfortable in a nice vehicle large enough for everyone. The driver was kind and good at driving. The organization in Auschwitz was perfect: a long, comprehensive tour, with extensive explanations and moments of reflection, which are needed here. The closing words of the visit by the guide were beautiful; unfortunately, I don't remember her name, but the organization can find her (visit on June 2, 2026 at 12:40 PM from Krakow). My comments, however, are that this work cannot be done differently here. The only flaw? You need to check that the meeting point for departure is the one booked, because for me it didn't match; many chats adequately resolved the problem, so watch out! Otherwise, everything else is fine.

Une excellente guide en français, nous a permis de bien comprendre le fonctionnement des camps . C'était très intéressant et bien que la visite dure longtemps, nous n'avons pas vu le temps passé. Ma fille dev16 ans a été captivée.

Puntualità impeccabile e servizio organizzato molto bene. La guida ci ha raccolte al punto di ritrovo e siamo andate ad Auschwitz 1 poi in seguito al 2. Guida molto preparata però è entrata poco nei dettagli, la visita alla fine è durata un 'ora in meno di quanto dichiarato.

Visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum was one of the most emotional and impactful experiences of my life. From the very beginning, everything was extremely well organized. The instructions we received before the tour were very clear and explicit, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The WhatsApp group that was created for the visitors was also incredibly helpful and made communication and organization much easier throughout the day. A special mention must go to our guide, Eugene, who was simply fantastic. During the bus journey from Kraków to Auschwitz, he gave us a brief but very informative overview of World War II, focusing especially on the devastation caused in Poland and in Kraków itself, where we were departing from. It gave important historical context before arriving at the memorial. Throughout the entire visit, Eugene was extremely professional and deeply emotional in the way he told the story. He managed to keep us completely captivated by every detail, balancing historical facts with humanity and sensitivity in a truly remarkable way. You could feel the respect and importance he carried in every explanation. Visiting Auschwitz is, in my opinion, an essential experience for anyone traveling to Poland. It is emotionally difficult and heartbreaking at times, but it is incredibly important to learn about history in the very place where it happened. It reminds us of the horrors of the past, helps ensure that we never forget, and reinforces the hope that such tragedies are never repeated again.

We booked an Auschwitz tour for two, and the entire experience was very well organized from start to finish. The meeting point was easy to find, which made everything stress-free. Our guide, Nicholas, was exceptional — knowledgeable, respectful, and engaging throughout the tour. He guided us through both Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau, sharing powerful stories and historical details that made the experience incredibly authentic and meaningful. We were given well-timed breaks before and after Auschwitz I, as well as after Birkenau, which was much appreciated during the long day. The tour lasted around 8 hours, and every moment felt worthwhile. It was an eye-opening and deeply moving experience that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Kraków.

    Il giorno prima dell'esperienza sono stato contattato via whatsapp e mi è stato comunicato che causa indisponibilità della guida non sarebbe stato possibile visitare il sito. mi è stato offerto uno sconto del 50% per una visita guidata degli spazi esterni o cancellazione. Ho preferito comunque fare la visita parziale ma comunque profonda delusione per l'organizzazione e scarsa comunicazione. Inoltre passati 2 giorni aspetto ancora il rimborso.

  • 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.
