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.

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)

There was no experience at all. I am extremely surprised that you have the audacity to send me a review request. The reservation was cencelled. We paid for a trip that starts at 6 am and were at the meeting poit halfan hour earlier. But there was no place for us. After a long comunication with a chatbot we finally understood that ourr reservation was changed to 1:55am. And there was an e-mail in the middle of the night. Obviously we,as customers, have to check our mail every a hour at hight.Visiting Awschwitz was the main reason to visit Poland and the disappointed was huge. The only good thing was the Headout. Thanks to it support we coud get a full refund.

    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!

    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.

    I have always wanted to visit Auschwitz and I am so glad I did. We went in Dec which is low season apparently, however the queues told a different story. Be prepared to wait a little as it is very busy! Wrap up warm. Our guides were very knowledgeable. On the coach our guide was very informative, giving us a taste of what was to come. We were then handed over to our Auschwitz guide who completed the story.

  • Haunting exploration of Auschwitz-Birkenau

    Travel comfortably from Krakow in an air-conditioned vehicle to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial Museum. Step through the iron gate of KL Auschwitz 1, etched with the deceptive words 'Work Sets You Free', and explore the haunting remnants of the 22 brick barracks that once housed hundreds of thousands of Holocaust victims.

    A glimpse into the unthinkable

    Here, you will be led to block 11, notoriously known as 'the prison within the prison', home to brutal torture chambers and initial extermination attempts using Zyklon B. The tour continues to KL Auschwitz 2 Birkenau, where over 1 million lives were lost. This engaging, expert-guided tour, available in the language of your preference, concludes with a reflective visit to the Memorial, where you can pay your respects to the victims of this horrific genocide.

    Customizable experience

    Enhance your experience with an optional inclusion of a lunchbox. For a more personal experience, a private English-guided tour is available, offering an intimate and insightful journey into Europe's history—perfect for history lovers and curious visitors alike.
