The tour was very well organised. Guide was very informative and prepared, the speech from guide was well-prepared aswell as headphone equipment provided to hear the guide was very good technical decision, so you can hear the guide from distance and there was no possibility that you miss something if not standing close to the guide. Thank you very much, i grabbed the last one ticket available from royal tours just the day before visiting camp, from official museum web, there was no possibility, the closest day was 4 days away for visiting, you saved my tour, i really wanted to visit this camp and didn't pre-book visit before, thank you so much, got lucky to grab the last ticket available from your company.

The guided tour was comprehensive and very interesting. However, I was very annoyed by the last-minute schedule change. Why offer several schedules if you don't stick to them? Even though it's mentioned on the site as something that can happen, I think it's very common and disrespectful.

The tour guide was wonderful and the visiting experience. The only confusing part was to find our tour We had no idea were he or she was. We had to ask around people and luckily found a supervisor who directed us but I feel some signage or a flag indicating tours would be very helpful and have there a person directing or troubleshooting I have found this to be very helpful taking other tours specially when there are ao many people. Idea would be a sign saying 1. 20 tours or whatever the time is for the tour

Many thanks for the very interesting tour. The visit to the Auschwitz Memorial was extremely depressing and emotional. A place that should definitely be visited once in a lifetime to keep the memory alive. The tour was very well organised and saved us long waiting times at the ticket office. A free shuttle bus runs between the main camp I and camp II in Birkenau. Special thanks to our tour guide Ewa. She struck exactly the right note and described the depressing details with great empathy. THANK YOU

Our tour guide, Thomas, was absolutely the best. Very knowledgeable and friendly person. Getting tickets, receiving information about meeting points and times was handled very smoothly.

Your experience

Head over to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum, one of the most visited historic destinations in the world with a tragic past. The journey from Krakow should take you about 1.5 hours. Once you arrive, you will meet your host who will give you the ticket and escort you to the group. Make your way past the queue line with this pre-booked ticket and pass through security before entering the Memorial.

At the Auschwitz I Museum, join a tour group led by an authorized official Auschwitz-Birkenau guide. Get a glimpse into the heartrending treatment of the prisoners of the Holocaust and their everyday lives. While Auschwitz I was the main administrative building, Auschwitz II was built for the purpose of extermination. On your tour, you will visit buildings consisting of the belongings of the Jews who entered the camps. See the ruins of cabins and crematoriums in Birkenau. Catch sight of watchtowers, railway ramps, and a former gas chamber – all of which have played a role in the industrialized genocide that took place here.

The total duration of the tour is approximately 3.5 hours. You will spend 1.5-2 hours at Auschwitz and 1-1.5 hours at Birkenau.
