Everything was very well organized from departure to arrival. The driver kept us on track all the way. He didn't speak French, but his English was very understandable. The tour was well timed, leaving Krakow at 9.15am and returning around 4.30pm. Our guide, Theresa, spoke excellent French, had no trouble understanding us and was always ready to listen to our questions. The visit to both camps went very well, even though the many groups and other visitors were beginning to pour in. We had the opportunity to listen to the visit of other French people the next day, who were not at all satisfied (up at 4am, numerous bus changes, late return...). In short, we'd recommend the tour, as you "just have to let yourself be guided" to get the most out of the explanations.

The transportation to Auschwitz was very punctual, although they changed the pick up time twice it did not change our plans much since it was an hour difference. The driver explained all the planning in detail and we made a stop at a gas station before to go to the bathroom and have a drink, since the museum would be more crowded and there are no cafes. The guide took a group of about 30 people, but we used headphones, so the information was not lost. It is true that it is a very fast tour as you have to see a lot in a short time but you don't miss any detail. My only recommendation is to have a good breakfast before going and bring a quick snack to fill you up, as there are no long breaks to eat properly at lunchtime.

We were taken care of from start to finish, with time to shop after the tour if we wished. Our guide was very good and spoke very, very good French. A minor problem with the bus pick-up at the beginning. Once we arrived at the meeting point, we were given no instructions or information to help us identify our bus. Because yes, the meeting points are used by other groups who are also going to the same place. Once the bus arrived, our names were called, but I would have liked to have been able to identify it or to have been warned of its arrival, on time or delayed.

    Except for the fact that we had booked the tour leaving at 10 a.m. and the time was changed to 5:40 a.m.😓in the end it turned out better than expected because we finished by lunch and had half a day left.The tour is nice with the guide but a bit quick.Margherita was wonderful, very thorough and kind, she gave us useful advice about staying in Krakow as well.

    We were a small group of French people, with an exceptional guide by the name of Anita. The tour was, however, quite demanding.

    Visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau is a deeply moving and sobering experience. It’s not a “beautiful” place in the conventional sense—nor should it be. It is a place that confronts us with the darkest chapters of human history, and reminds us of the unimaginable suffering endured by millions. Our tour was exceptionally well guided by Magdalena m. Her knowledge, sensitivity, and respectful tone were outstanding throughout the visit. She managed to convey historical facts with clarity while also capturing the emotional weight and human stories behind them. Magdalena struck the perfect balance between education and empathy—never overstepping the line into dramatization, but also never letting the gravity of the place fade. This is not a tour you “enjoy” in the traditional sense. It is a tour you carry with you. Thanks to Magdalena, we left not only informed, but emotionally connected to what we had witnessed. Her guidance made all the difference.

  • 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.
