The tour guide was very friendly, competent, goal-oriented. Negative I found that everything was done in a continuous run. Unfortunately, I could not let the various stations sink in. What I found very unfortunate.

I was with Magda, a very good, experienced and friendly guide. There was a problem with some participants but the rest of the group thought it was their fault.

This is not what you would call an enjoyable trip. However, it was well organised with great communication. The guide was excellent, he had perfect English and had an in depth knowledge of the sites. He gave clear instructions about where and when to meet. Thank you Conrad, you were brilliant

Your tour begins with a 60-kilometer journey from Krakow to the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp complex. The imposing gate of Auschwitz stands in harsh contrast to the charming suburbs of Oświęcim. Counted amongst the most ghastly remnants of the Second World War, the Auschwitz-Birkenau prison complex is known for its concentration camps and extermination chambers. Between 1940 and 1944, Auschwitz remained one of the largest and most well-funded camps of the Nazi Party. On this tour, you will accompany an expert guide to explore this solemn reminder of one of history’s darkest periods. Examine the exhibits at the outdoor museum and learn more about the camp and its history from your guide. Passing by the medical experiments block and the brick barracks is a genuinely chilling experience.

Although Birkenau was just one of the 40 or so sub-camps that littered the Auschwitz complex, it quickly became infamous for its gas chambers. It is estimated that nearly a million Jews and prisoners of war were killed in Birkenau. You will spend about an hour at this sub-camp with your guide after visiting Auschwitz I. After a short educational tour of the haunting place, you will meet your driver again and head back to Krakow.
