It was insightful. No problem with bus or driver. Surely the guide speaks better english, than if speak Polish, except she kept confusing me every time she said pre-ZONErs. I couldn't figure out who this group of people were until I was farther away and barely heard her. Much to my surprise, she was actually saying PRIZoners.

It's a must-see historical tour, but unfortunately we found the Birkenau camp a bit rushed, and would have liked to see the children's barracks for example. I still recommend the tour

Comfortable vehicle for the transportation. Not too much time waiting for tour to start on arrival. Small hiccup with meeting time which local operator resolved.

Haunting exploration of Auschwitz-Birkenau

Travel comfortably from Krakow in an air-conditioned vehicle to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial Museum.

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.
