Highlights
  • Visit the Auschwitz-Birkenau complex, the largest of the Nazi concentration camps

Full description

This 3.5-hour educational tour about how this concentration camp claimed over 1 million victims is a must-see. The complex comprises 3 main camps: Auschwitz I was the administrative center; Auschwitz II, or Birkenau, was the extermination site; and Auschwitz III, or Monowitz, was a labor camp. Built in 1940, Auschwitz-Birkenau was the largest concentration camp operated by the Nazis. Before the liberation of Auschwitz on January 27, 1945, the SS attempted to destroy the camp and burn the archives. The Polish government restored Auschwitz–Birkenau as a moving memorial to the victims. Upon entering through the main entrance, see original camp buildings in the main part of the complex. Visit the museum with its permanent exhibition, an opportunity to learn about the real stories of prisoners and see their personal belongings. Finally, visit the extermination camp at Birkenau, where gas chambers and crematories are located. The duration of your visit to Auschwitz I lasts two hours and the visit to Auschwitz II lasts one hour. There are three breaks during the tour: the first is 10-20 minutes after arriving from Krakow; the second is 10-15 minutes before going to Auschwitz II, Birkenau Camp; and the third is 10 to 20-minute before heading back to Krakow.

Our trip to Auschwitz was both amazing and harrowing. The amazing aspect was thanks to the organisation of our tour and our guide. We were picked up at the shared meeting point on time and with no issues by a huge coach. We were driven to auschwitz where our tour guide took us around the camp, she was highly informative and answered any questions people had. We were then taken by the coach to birkenau and once again our guide was highly informative and shared with us the details of the horrific conditions people were imprisoned in. I would highly recommend seekrakow for anyone wanting to visit Auschwitz.

We were picked up from our meeting point on the time we were told in an email (which was 30mins later than original time) The bus was new/clean and the driver was nice and helpful & explained everything. He gave us our tickets in the names I specified on my booking. We had quite a wait before the tour began as we were waiting for our guide. Starting off you go through security scanners like in an airport, they check your ID/tickets. You then get a headset to listen to what your guide is saying but it sometimes lost reception & was crackly. Inside there is a lot of walking on uneven ground & going in/out of buildings, up/down stairs. There are also many other tour groups so it's very busy. You get to see personal belongings of all the people who suffered & told all about what happened here. You also actually go inside a gas chamber. You then get taken to Birkenau. Here you walk around & see the barracks where they all lived & died. I highly recommend this trip, a must see.

Trip was emotional, informative and educational. The pick up and drop great but little hard to locate. Representative maked sure that we all have arrived and found our way to the bus. Special thanks to the bus driver. He really looked after us. Made sure we know where we need to be. He didn't speak English but somehow managed to communicate with us.
