First of all, I appreciated the company’s professionalism; another tour operator had canceled my visit, claiming it was closed for a memorial service, which wasn’t true. So a big thank you just for letting us in... The driver was punctual, friendly, and helpful, and the vehicle was very clean and comfortable. The place is very moving, and the guide was able to explain the tragic events that took place there with great sensitivity—which was very important for my group because we were traveling with 12-year-old girls, and many people had said it wasn’t advisable. But Magdalena handled it with just the right sensitivity for them as well. Highly recommended

Three months ago, we booked this tour with another tour operator, who notified us two days beforehand that the tour had been canceled. We were absolutely devastated, so just when we thought all was lost, we found that Headout had two tickets available for the last day of our trip. We were overjoyed, and it reignited our excitement for the trip. The company’s organization, the accommodations (we had to bring our own luggage on the tour), and the communication with the staff… everything was wonderful. We would definitely book with them again and, of course, recommend them. Thank you for

Exceptional organization. Our driver was exceptionally kind and very considerate. Everything was explained perfectly both beforehand and during the tour. It was very easy and enjoyable. During the tours, we were guided by Anthony, a French guide. His explanations, humility, and kindness were truly appreciated. Thank you to the entire KingRoyalTours team for this memorable day; my mother, although visually impaired, was very touched by the accommodations made for her.

It was a very intense and powerful experience. Headout took care of everything for us—not only did they arrange our trip to Auschwitz and Birkenau with a bus that picked us up directly from the hotel, but they also provided lunch and a very professional, knowledgeable, and competent guide who accompanied us and explained the entire tour. The planning leading up to the event was flawless; we had a truly wonderful time.

The organisation and communication was very smooth - I received a whatsapp 2 day before the tour confirming pick up time from my hotel and organisation of a packed lunch for the day. The driver was friendly, professional and punctual. Our tour guide was also excellent - she was extremely knowledgeable and had excellent communication skills across multiple languages and was very good at managing the large group. Transfers between the two camps were also managed well.

It was a tour I’d been looking forward to for years. The bus picked us up right outside the hotel, and the museum is truly impressive. However, I was a little disappointed because, even though our guide tried hard to tell us everything, there was an official museum guide who kept rushing her, so we ended up rushing through the halls and all the rooms too quickly. We didn’t have time to really take our time appreciating the exhibits or reading the signs.

    La verdad , me costó un poco levantarme a las 4 a m pero tuvo su beneficio en cuanto al tiempo que llevo el tour, por otro lado nuestra guía EDU era de lo más agradable, amena, y con interés por la historia que nos contaba. Le pongo un 10, igual a su compañero y al conductor, superó mis expectativas. Muchas gracias.

    The guide was lovely but I felt very rushed as did the rest of my family didn't get a chance to read everything and felt when we only walked into one part the tour guide was already moving on again to the other just for future reference

    One of the best tours I've ever been on!!! Everything was perfectly organized, from the transportation to the tour itself. I highly recommend this experience to everyone

  • 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.
