Full description

Visit Auschwitz on a day trip from Krakow. Learn about the history of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps during a guided tour with a certified historian and guide. Auschwitz-Birkenau was founded in 1940 by Nazi Germany and was the largest concentration camp operated by the Nazis. It became the final resting place for millions of people, mostly Jews and Poles, who were murdered in gas chambers. Pass through the gate with the inscription "Arbeit macht frei" to enter Auschwitz I, where your guide will show you around the preserved area and explain the history of the site. 

Then, visit the second camp at Birkenau, where mass killings took place as part of the Nazi "Final Solution to the Jewish Question."

The tour was delayed by 3-4 hours due to the influx of visitors but it was worth it. I bought lunch thinking I was going at 7am but since the delay it wasn’t a necessity, would still recommend the lunch option if you’re taking the earliest tour. Also we met an unfortunate road closures along the way but the driver was well equipped and had great self-control despite receiving many calls he did not pick up one whilst driving! The tour leader Paula was also extremely patient, but I have to say it was very hectic figuring out which coach to get on as the pick up point is a common one among the different tour groups. If I remember correctly our guide was Lucas, and he is a historian who was very engaging and informative. His knowledge of the concentration camps was vast and I’m grateful for his insight. He made many recommendations on movies and books inspired, if not written by, people in these camps. Thank you all!

It was really a great experience as we undertake the Auschwitz-Birkenau guided tour. Our guide Mr. Lukas was a exceptional narrator and his profound knowledge over that time-period of history made the whole trip worthwhile. The only drawback I would like to address is the pickup was a little confusing as we had to wait sometime for the bus. Nonetheless, the rest of the trip was perfect and went smoothly. I can recommend this trip to others as a good opportunity to explore the historically significant Auschwitz-Birkenau.

The trip was fantastic and the guide very knowledgeable! Shame the driver got pulled for speeding on route and the bus was more crammed than a Ryanair plane with broken seats. The tour did start 50 minutes later than expected, it does say that in the small print and was fine for us as meant we had longer for breakfast but just be aware that it can happen.
