Take a tour of the World War II Auschwitz-Birkenau complex on a 7-hour trip from Krakow. Travel by coach to the UNESCO World Heritage compound and explore the twin concentration camp with a licensed guide.

Learn about the Nazi Holocaust and how the camps functioned. Explore the poignant exhibition halls, and see the barracks, gas chambers and other buildings at Auschwitz I. Then, view the watchtowers, crumbled buildings and memorials at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. Your guide will explain everything you see with care and sensitivity.

It’s was an excellent tour - be prepared for a long time on your feet. Very moving

Anna was a great tour guide very knowledgeable overall the experience was very informative. No complaints everything was great from our driver to the tour would very much recommend

we got the guided tour thinking we wanted to know the history. We were rushed around the site and for most of the tour we couldn't hear the guy as he kept speeding off and the headset kept losing connection. We struggled to keep up. Its a shame because we really did want to have time to process ever

This experience was outstanding, right from the collection point to the drop off. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about what she does. Would highly recommend this tour.

Although we booked a later trip we were brought forward to an early trip as explained in the pre-booking blurb. Details on pick up were clear to the point we had vehicle colour, registration and driver's name in advance of the pick up. All worked well.

Very thought provoking experience, our tour guide Michał was very knowledgeable, reassuring and passionate which added to the experience. Great communication about timings and location from start to finish for the tour. 10/10 would recommend.
