Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum Guided Tour from Krakow

Our guide Martha was very knowledgeable and spoke with emotion about the camps and the fate that befell the inmates. Seeing photos, the cramped conditions and their belongings and hair really brought it home how horrific it was fir those taken there in the war. Our journey was smooth, driver was quiet, perhaps would've been nice to be told a bit about the countryside along the route.

A must do when visiting Krakow. Very moving experience enhanced by an exceptionally good guide. Minibus driver very pleasant.

As we lived in an apartment, we had to walk to the nearest hotel (not very far). Our driver was already there a few minutes before the time we were told to be there so we could leave immediately. The driver did a great job, was very nice to talk with and had good answers to all questions we had. The practical parts before the tour started worked fine (multiple groups from the same company joined together into one guide group). The tour at Auschwitz was excellent. The only bad part is that it's so stressed between Auschwitz and Birkenau. But that is on the Auschwitz guide system and not the tour company's. We didn't take advantage of it, but it was very nice that we were offered to buy a lunch bag from them. Don't expect to buy something in the local kiosk, bring your own or buy from the tour company, it's much better. We can really recommend this tour, excellent quality to a good price.

Fantastic transfers the minibus driver was extremely punctual, 5 star tour guide. It was all made really easy.

Well organised, pleasant driver, informative tour guide. Heart breaking story of man’s inhumanity to man.

Very well done tour, transportation was exactly as advertised, and I felt like both sites were covered in the right amount of time

Watching a documentary on the way really ‘hit home’ on some of the brutalities of Auschwitz. A guided tour, highly recommended, gave a very informative account of life in the camp. It was very moving to see the personal items and photographs of the victims. The size of Birkenau was quite shocking. This is an educational experience everyone should make.

Picked up from hotel in comfy mini-bus. Joined a large tour of the site but headphones meant we didn't miss anything. The tour guide was amazing, passionate and knowledgeable. Only downside was that there was no time for the book shops on site.

This visit was both chilling and extremely interesting at the same time. Seeing and being told about the Holocaust that happened there by a very competent guide is something that should be experienced. Thinking about that is actually only 80 years ago that this took place makes you really think about humanity.

We took this tour on Wednesday March 30th Our driver was Patrick and he organised via whatsapp the previous day to pick us up outside our hotel at 8am and was there on time. There were screens in the minibus on the way the trip (1hr 15 minutes) and they showed a documentary on Auschwitz which was interesting but as you would expect fairly horrific. When we arrived the tour started and we were given a earphones and a transmitter and our tour guide was Richard. The quality of the sound was excellent and we could hear everything clearly as we travelled around the camp. Richard was a superb tour guide, knowledgeable and obviously very moved when he explained each area of the entire tour. The first part of the tour was the Auschwitz camp and it is smaller and easily navigated on the tour. There are many shocking artifacts from the time including hair, luggage, shoes and belongings as well as many photos of what people went through. I will not give away too much but it lasted about 1.5 hours and then we got back in the bus for the 5 minute trip to arrive at Birkenau For as small as the camp was at Auschwitz, the Birkenau camp is absolutely huge, spread across a gigantic plain and it is totally souless and horrifying. It is very much intact including the barbed wire fences. It took about 1.5 hours to navigate it on the tour and it was detailed and shocking as you would expect. We were back in Krakow by 2pm and we enjoyed the trip whilst understanding the extreme nature of what we saw. I would highly recommend
