The Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial, a UNESCO-listed memorial near Kraków, is the the most famous symbol of the Holocaust in the world. Hundreds of thousands of Jewish people where murdered in the former concentration camp during WWII, which is known as one of the biggest crimes against humanity ever. Today, you'll visit the memorial and walk around the grounds with a guide for a chance to learn more about this dark side of history. You'll travel to the museum in a minivan accompanied by an English-speaking driver. Then, you'll visit the museum and memorial with a licensed guide, including both former camps – Auschwitz and Birkenau. This part of the tour will be in the language you choose during the booking.

Wasn't a fan of the change of pick up time from 7am to 6am without a robust reason.

Bus driver very dangerous

The whole tour was very well organised and the tour was excellent. This wasn’t the case for other people who experienced scam tickets and long waits to get in. I would highly recommend that anyone visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau book through Tui rather than try to organise it themselves in Krakow.

Sometimes the guide at the site was a little difficult to hear. It may help if they slowed down a little when talking

Well organised Great guide All aspects kept to time

There are many operators who cancel trips last minute and people miss out on this opportunity. I was apprehensive but I didn’t need to worry in the end. Booking through such a large partner like TUI maybe helped
