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.

Well organised, communicated well, and the driver sent a pin so we could track him, arrived promptly, and gave good information. Comfortable minibus. The experience itself was sombre, the guide we had was knowledgeable, excellent, enthusiastic, and respectful. Be aware there are few facilities, just a coffee machine, and no time to visit the small shop and bookshop. Our biggest criticism was that the whole experience we first booked got cancelled the evening before - first notification was of a refund. We managed to rebook for the following day, but it was more than double the cost with a 6.30 am start. But Headout said it was not their doing but came directly from Auschwitz, and is very common, apparently.

    The experience of visiting the Auschwitz and Birkenau camps was emotionally moving and difficult, and I believe everyone should visit these extermination camps to ensure that the Holocaust is never forgotten. Our long-scheduled tour had been confirmed only the afternoon before, and we were told to meet two hours earlier than the original time, so we were very worried about how things would turn out. In reality, the local tour operator, ROYAL TOUR, proved to be impeccable. The tour leader, Peter, and the driver, Alex, were on time, knowledgeable, and extremely well organized. They decided to leave Krakow earlier in order to arrive before the museum opened, which allowed everything to go smoothly and prevented us from having to queue. The local guide who accompanied us was exceptionally well prepared—clear, engaging, and able to convey even more profoundly the ordeal endured by the deportees. I would recommend this experience to everyone, but make sure that the local provider has booked the tickets in advance to avoid having the tour canceled.

    This was a brilliantly organized trip, I highly recommend, I searched across a ton of platforms to find the right tour as it's tricky to select with so much choice, but this was 100% the right choice We were collected on time via private transfer, and taken great care of through the day, Jacob was fantastic in explaining everything and the guide was brilliant. Very educational and a great glimpse into life at the camps - private transport there and back, picked up from our hotel - skip the line tickets - tours of Auschwitz & Birkenau with an English speaking guide (the tech in the tour was really good, guide spoke to a microphone which connected to our headsets)

    Visit auschwitz-birkenau with this company was an incredibile experience! It was everything well organised, we appreciated the fact that the driver come really near to our position and also for the return! The driver was very gentle, friendly and professional, for sure, always next to the group! The guide was so emphatic and professional too, her moderate tone was very suitable for the moment and the place, so respectful but also with so much history! We appreciated the lauch box, a very smart idea! We think that this service is fantastic and precise as it is and we are very glad to have done it together with this fantastic group!

    The day was overall good however it felt a little rushed. Our timings was changed from 7am to 10am the day before which was annoying. Out tour guide was lovely and we saw a lot however I wish we had more time to walk around. Would recommend as didn't have to wait too long to get in compared to people who haven't got tickets and the bus came on time. It was very busy with other groups school trips and tours. I didn't take many photos as thought it would be disrespectful however these are some of what I took.

    Agreed pick-up time at hotel (9am) was very nice and met accurately. We rode in a small full tour bus (18 participants). With a fine, good English-speaking lady as our guide. She knew how to fascinate enormously with the story and a lot of background information. During the tour in Auschwitz 1 we got headphones so the guide could be understood very well, even with this rather large group. Total duration of both tours including transportation to and from Krakow city was 7 hours.

  • 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.
