Our guide Llona was amazing, we got there early enough to where we weren’t waiting in line for too long. We loved our experience! Would highly recommend and it was all at a great price.

It was a very good informative guide. Iona who brought us as our guide was very helpful and the driver was so lovely. Our English guide was excellent, it was humbling and brought to life the terrible situation of what happened in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Thank you and we will never forget.

Take part in a powerful and educational journey to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, one of the most significant historical sites in Europe. This fully organized day trip from Krakow includes transportation, entry tickets, and a guided tour through both Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau.

Begin your tour in Krakow, where you’ll be picked up by a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan or bus. Travel approximately 1.5 hours to reach the museum. Upon arrival, you’ll meet your official museum guide, who will lead you through both camps, explaining the history and personal stories of those imprisoned there.

At Auschwitz I, explore the preserved barracks, original fences, watchtowers, and permanent exhibitions. Then continue to Auschwitz II-Birkenau, the site of mass extermination, where you’ll see the remains of gas chambers, the unloading ramp, and wooden barracks that housed prisoners.

Throughout the tour, a professional tour leader will accompany your group, assist with logistics, and answer any questions to ensure a smooth, respectful, and meaningful visit.
