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.

We really loved the overall experience! The only downside that can be mentioned is the early start. If you read the comments section before making any reservation online, then you are aware that the hour you choose and the actual hour of the meeting are two completely different things 😄. Regarding that, the guys from the tour are completely professional about it, they wrote me in two different places about the change of the meeting time to make sure we are aware. Following with the good example was our tour organiser Philip. He was extremely helpful and kept us informed about everything going on. The quality of the bus was really nice and the ride was pretty enjoyable. About the place itself - it's something you have to see with your own eyes.

Our experience was pefect, however, we did find out after we originally booked that Headout/TheAuschwitzTours aren't a single company that deal with the tranfers and tickets. Each time slot that you book is headed up by a different, our-sourced company. We were lucky enough to have been sourced to Welcome In Cracow. This company book your tickets, under your name as soon as they get the booking and pick you up at a reasonable time, also offer a decent luch at a good price. There are unfortuantely other companies that do not bother booking your slot and pick you up at insane times like 2am to get you there hours before it opens to wait in a queue to buy tickets, that aren't guaranteed. I highly recommend booking direct with Welcome In Crakow.

    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.

    This visit was purchased through Headout but operated by Welcome in Crakow. The day was poignant, special and will definitely be memorable. We were very impressed with every aspect of Welcome in Cracow's organisation and in particular with all pre-visit communications which were thorough and welcome. Our driver was timely, friendly and helpful - providing much useful information, and I must comment particularly on his careful and considerate driving which always felt safe. This was very welcome and much appreciated. Our guide at Auschwitz-Birkenau was very informative and interesting. There were many visitors, but the organisation was superb. It is hard to think how this experience might be improved. The service was excellent, and I am happy to recommend this tour. This is a visit that everyone should consider undertaking.

  • 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.
