Full description
Visit the former Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau on this 7-hour trip from Krakow. By June 1940, Jews and over 700 political criminals had been sent to Auschwitz and the atrocities had begun. Birkenau was built by Auschwitz prisoners and by October 1941 was used as an extermination camp. Between 1 and 1.5 million were killed, and approximately 90 percent of those killed were Jews. Before Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated in January 1945, the SS attempted to blow up the camp and destroy the documentation. They were only partially successful, and the Polish government decided to restore the site as a memorial to the victims.

The driver arrived at our pick-up location at the *exact* right time and transferred us to a larger coach. The buses were comfortable and the drivers were very welcoming. Getting our tickets was also smooth, and we were given an on-site guide. It was a very smooth experience dealing with the company so I’m happy with the service and would recommend!

Excellent trip. The driver was friendly and helpful, pick-up was smooth. We were only four people on the tour. The tour itself was great, very interesting and knowledgeable guide. Horrific but very important of course. I highly recommend this tour, best value for money.

It was a very eye-opening day. The minus one star is simply for Auschwitz itself. Due to the number of people that visit, you’re basically rushed through most of the exhibits. It’s still emotionally taxing, but you don’t really have any time to take it all in and just reflect for a bit. Not at all the fault of the tour operator, and I’m sure it’s the same with others! It’s just the museum guidelines
