Full description

Learn about one of the darkest chapters in 20th-century European history on this guided tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum.

Make your own way to the Auschwitz-Birkenau museum in your own vehicle or by public transport (bus or train). The journey from Krakow takes approximately 1.5 hours. When you arrive, meet your host who will give you your ticket and introduce you to the group.

Skip the queue line with pre-booked entrance and pass through the airport security-style check before entering the Memorial. Inside the Auschwitz I museum, embark on a guided walking tour with a professional certified educator for approximately 1.5 - 2 hours. Next. proceed to the Auschwitz Birkenau II memorial for a 1-hour guided walking tour.

After this, walk around on your own and spend time as long as you want inside Auschwitz-Birkenau II. Return to your hotel by bus, car or train yourself (transport is not included in the price).

Please be aware that the lunch break is only about 10 minutes, so it is advisable if you bring a packed lunch with you.

The actual tour of the camps was informative; worth visiting. The parking however is confusing at best, there is parking at each of the locations but they have people directing vehicles to lots further away where you pay to park separately at each location. Because you are further away this also makes you late for your tours.

Bemühter Guide, nett, kennt sich aus und konnte auf Fragen antworten. Wir fuhren nach der Führung in Auschwitz 1, gemeinsam mit ihr mit dem Shuttle zu Auschwitz 2 und nach dieser Führung wieder zurück. Nach falscher Buchung konnte mir das freundliche Service weiterhelfen und alles konnte richtig umgebucht werden. Organisierung top. Sehr zu empfehlen!

The guide was very Informative. The only negative point I would say is by the end of the tour I experienced a bit of hurry and the guide didn't give much information. But the first part in museum was really impressive and informative compared to the second which was in birkenau.
