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.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and this was an informative and interesting day. Apart from our tour time changing everything was well organised.

Bra genomfört och en skakande upplevelse. Tänk på vad vi varit med om när ni skickar ut era käcka frågor.

Everything went very smoothly, from the pick up at the agreed point, right through the tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau to our arrival back in Krakow. Our driver explained what to expect on arrival at Auschwitz and took care of everything on arrival at Auscwitz, before introducing us to our guide. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable.

Easy to book. Relatively easy to find the pick-up point. There was no real "landmark" to denote the place. Luckily there were a few people waiting, otherwise I may have been unsure that I was in the right place. Driver was friendly & gave us a briefing on how the excursion would run. Guide at the Auschwitz/Birkenau sites was also friendly & informative. An interesting tour (albeit a very sobering one) seeing the vast sites & hearing the history of how appallingly these people were treated.

Ik vond het heel interessant maar het had van mij wat langer kunnen duren. Er is zo veel te zien en te lezen onderweg. De hele tour heeft diepe indruk op ons gemaakt.
