Auschwitz-Birkenau guided tour or private transfer from Krakow

You can choose between the following options available in the order box:

- Option 1: Guided tour (hotel pick-up). Includes tickets, guide as well as shared transfers and hotel pick-up service.

- Option 2: Guided tour (meeting point). Includes tickets and a guide. You need to reach the meeting point independently.

- Option 3: Private transfer (no tickets). Does not include tickets and a guide. You can purchase tickets in advance on the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum website, or arrive at the museum and purchase tickets on-site.

Embark on a poignant journey to Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest concentration camp in Poland, under the guidance of an expert. This historically significant yet haunting site offers profound insights into one of the darkest chapters of human history.

Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by your authorised guide, if selected, who will lead you into Auschwitz I, established in 1940 in the suburbs of Oswiecim. Equipped with a headset, you'll be able to clearly hear your guide's narration, regardless of group size or distance.

As you tread upon the grounds of the former camp, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the lives of those confined within its walls. Witness exhibitions housed in the very barracks where they once lived, each telling a chilling tale of survival and loss. It is estimated that over 1.5 million individuals from 28 nationalities perished here, with Jews making up nearly 90% of the victims.

Following a brief interlude, continue your journey to Auschwitz II-Birkenau. Here, your guide will accompany you along the railway tracks that once facilitated transport to this part of the camp. Stand before the ruins of gas chambers where countless lives were extinguished en masse. By visiting these sites and learning about their harrowing past, you contribute to preserving the memory of the atrocities committed there.
