James J – United States

Two things, the tour guide did not speak loud enough and often could not hear…crowds were close which compromised to sound and I have excellent hearing. To his credit he did ask but I should have said something. If I couldn’t hear that well with good audiometric hearing suffice to say older folks couldn’t. Also, although not your fault, from the train station to the bus station, I decided to take a taxi only a short distance but had a cramp in my calf. The taxi cab driver charged me 50 polish dollars…he said everything is expensive in Krakow…I believed it was a bone face lie but didn’t want to get into an argument. Lastly, and most importantly, you and your team did an outstanding job planning this trip for me. It was unbelievably emotional and realistic. I almost felt like I was there during this horrific and tyrannical period of time it was so real and authentic. I assure you, I will convey this sentiments to my colleagues in the US upon my return. Thank you!

Full description

Following an early morning pickup from your accommodation in Warsaw, get transferred to the train station with a private vehicle. Your English-speaking driver will assist you with the check-in and wait until you are boarded for the train to Krakow.


After a short train ride, you will be welcomed by a local English-speaking driver and start your tour via shared transportation to Auschwitz.

Embark on a 3.5-hour guided group tour of Auschwitz and Birkenau. Start the tour with a visit to the Auschwitz concentration camp where you'll learn about how its establishment by German Nazis on the outskirts of the town Oswiecim in 1940.


After the war, the camp was turned into a museum displaying evidence of the genocide, which you will have the opportunity to browse. In the museum watch a film made after the liberation of the camp shown in various languages.

After spending time in Auschwitz continue the tour to the Birkenau section of the concentration camp. Discover how, in 1941, the German Nazis established a new camp called Auschwitz II Birkenau.


Between 1942-1945, approximately 1.5 million people lived and died here.


Around 90% of them were Jews, others were Poles, Gypsies, Russians, and prisoners from 28 countries of Europe. In 1979, Auschwitz–Birkenau Concentration Camp was listed as a UNESCO World Culture and National Heritage Site.

Depart Auschwitz-Birkenau for a 1.5-hour journey to Krakow. You will have three hours of free time to see the Main Market Square in Krakow, the biggest Medieval old town square in Europe.


In the Old Town, visit Wawel Hill where the Cathedral and the Royal Castle are, the Town Hall Tower, St. Mary’s Basilica, Krakow Barbican, and Sukiennice, famously known as the Cloth Hall.


Absorb the city's unique atmosphere with its thousands of bars and delightful regional restaurants, historic buildings, and horse-driven cabs.
