It was an unforgettable experience. It's not a "pretty" tour, but it is necessary; we must be aware of what happened and never forget it. I appreciate the organization and service provided by Headout and Cracow visit. Just as I requested, pick-up and drop-off were at the hotel. Lucas, the driver, was fantastic!! The guide was very good and explained everything with great dedication and detail. When I got back to the apartment, I broke down and cried just remembering everything, but I am very grateful to have had this experience.

Let's divide the experience into two aspects. Organizationally, everything went really well, both the timing and the logistics. The tour leader Michele was extremely kind and always attentive to everyone's needs. The guide was knowledgeable and spoke excellent Italian, and she was also always courteous and kind. Visiting the Auschwitz-Birkenau camps is an experience that must be had; no film or documentary can replace what we saw in person and experienced firsthand.

The whole tour ran smoothly from start to finish. Just one little complaint. The morning starting time was put back till the afternoon, which meant it was getting dark as we were getting g to the end of the Birkenau camp. But all in all the tour itself was what I was hoping for

Everything was very good, the guide knew the history really well, and they picked us up at the scheduled time. They were very punctual. Although, to be fair, they delayed our departure time by 2 hours and 40 minutes and there was nothing we could do, which forced us to restructure our entire travel plan.

A sombering experience but one 100% worth visiting. The guide was very knowledgeable. It is extremely busy but well organised. Some people are unfortunately disrespectful - taking pictures at every opportunity and clearly not there for any other purpose.

Outstanding service from the two women assisting in front of the boats. I was able to change the cruise time right there on the day I had booked and move it 2 hours earlier. The cruise is very nice. It's well worth it.

Hop aboard a comfortable air-conditioned minivan for a full-day guided journey into the chilling history of World War II, starting from Krakow.

Walk through the iron gates of KL Auschwitz 1, explore haunting brick barracks and visit the Memorial commemorating the Jews who lost their lives here.

Enter Auschwitz II-Birkenau, opened in March 1942 as a site for the extermination of over 1 million Jews during the Holocaust.

Customise the tour with language preferences, opt for an optional upgrade to a private English-guided tour or enjoy a delicious lunch box.

The friendliness of the hosts, and the guide who spoke perfect, native Italian. They made the experience memorable. He was absolutely right. Once in a lifetime, you have to go.

We had no guide, but we had a refund after. The time was to short because of the late pick-up to see both places well. Arriving at Birkenau it was getting really quick dark.
