Although my trip to Auschwith started with an urgent message about change of pick-up point, the bus was very punctual on the time set. Driver was nice, polite and drove carefuly, explaining clearly to the visitors what we were going to do. In the museum our guide was excellent. He explained in excellent english every detail concerning the site, giving a lot of historical and social information. Very kind and well prepared to answer serveral questions. The general impression was very posiive. Everything was well organized and serious giving the adecuate respect to the importance of such an important place for mankind. Thank yoy very much indeed.

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.

The trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau was a deeply educational and moving experience. Walking around the historic buildings and areas where so many people suffered and lost their lives made a deep impression and got me thinking. It wasn't just a tour - it was an important reminder of why we must never forget history. I am very grateful for the professional and respectful way the tour was conducted. The guide was knowledgeable, calm and managed to create the right atmosphere throughout the visit. We bought the tickets through Headout and it all worked very well. It was easy, efficient and very professional. Highly recommended!

    The timing and schedule were met, the time of the Pic up was anticipated as it was indicated among the possibilities, this was an advantage because it allowed for the afternoon to be free and to enjoy the visit in the cool morning, a more collected time, with beautiful light. Thank you!

    Everything, from start to finish it was a really good, educational experience. The tour guides (especially Suzanna (not sure on spelling) was exceptional! Everything was clear, loads of interesting information and was really helpful. I couldn't of asked for a more polite, educating and helpful person.

    Our guide Mario and driver Joe were fantastic. Mario provided a wealth of information in a way appropriate to the memorials visited. He was patient and thoughtful of all participants. The memorials themselves were solemn and well worthwhile seeing to observe the hate of the past. It's not the type of tour we would do again, but we are very glad we took the opportunity to do the tour, and thankful for our guide Mario, who also offered advice and recommendations of books from the Birhenau book shops.

    Amazing experience, very emotional and something that everyone should do in their lifetime to remember the past horrors that took place. The tours was very well organised from pick up to drop off thanks to our driver Kamil, there was no waiting in line at Auschwitz. The guide was very informative and detailed, I found the tour to be an excellent pace. Highly reccomend this tour for anyone wanting to visit Auschwitz!
  • 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.
