★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 29,340 reviews · 7 - 10 hours · from $21

Travel from Krakow to Auschwitz I and Birkenau with hotel pickup options, air-conditioned transport, and a licensed museum guide. Guides such as Kamil, Camilla, and Konrad have helped make this difficult visit clear, respectful, and human. Allow 7 to 10 hours in all.

“To begin with, the pickup location and time were arranged a couple of days before and the team was really consistent and well organised. Magdalene was really sweet and kind and as we arrived to Auschwitz we were given all the information needed for both complying to the guidelines and also how we are going to divide into groups so it’s a more efficient experience. We had Kamil as our guide and we felt that he loves his job. While keeping us informed with the basics, his way of guidance, voice tone, etc helped us to comprehend better the reality of the place and feel more the atrocities taken place…”

“The experience was great and the guides were very informative. Visiting the concentration camps is not a cheerful experience but it is a must if in krakow. We should all remember the stories of millions were murdered. The reason, however, for the 3 star is the fact that the trip started a lot earlier than advertised. We were picked up at 6.15 and got back by 1pm. We had had an early flight the day before so this was an inconvenience and were very tired. Then, we were not given time for cofeee, eating and only 15 mins for lunch. I was eating a butty standing up in the cold.…”
