What To Expect

Depending on what option you chose for this 7-hour day trip from Krakow, you could be picked up anywhere between 7:30am to 11:00am. If you picked the shared option, you’ll be picked up in a shared vehicle, but if you picked either of the other two options (private or round-trip transport), you’ll be picked up in a private vehicle.

Once you’re in your vehicle, relax and enjoy the ride over to Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum. The drive takes about one hour. If you chose the private or shared option, follow your guide at the UNESCO World Heritage Site for a guided 1.5-hour tour of Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II–Birkenau. The camps have been preserved since 1947, and your guide fills you in on tons of interesting facts as you go.

If you picked the round-trip transport with no guided tour option, then explore the camps on your own. After your time at Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, get back in your vehicle for the 1-hour ride to Krakow. Get dropped off at your hotel around 3pm or 4pm.

Please note: A minimum of two people per booking is required.

Camps brought to life by our amazing guide

Roisin_P

, Oct 2021

We had an amazing guide called Christopher who brought both the camps to life and recounted the stories of the people in the camps with such feeling and sensitivity. He looked after everyone and helped us all understand how horrific Auschwitz and BIrkenau was.

Response from Host , Oct 2021

Thank you very much for your review. I am glad that you had opportunity to meet Christopher. I wish you all the best Damian

Excellent

Took the trip from Krakow, which took just over an hour. It was a moving and gruesome experience, but one that was well worthwhile. It was staggering how state sanctioned mass murder on this scale was committed by 'ordinary' people ... it still left me thinking 'how could have this happened?

Response from Host , Sep 2020

Thank you very much for your review. It is very moving experience so why I think everyone should do once in life. I hope to see you again in Krakow. All the best Damian

Due to Polish government decision to close all museums and cultural centres our tour was cancelled. However after 3 emails we have not been reimbursed. Do not book with this group unless you are ok about losing money in circumstances outside your control. Extremely disappointed.

Response from Host , Mar 2020

Dear Jen Your money will be refund, please be patient. We will make refunds after dates of travel. I do not understand your position in this hard times for everyone. I would like to ask you to delete this review because it is a not fair to atack my good opinion. All the best Damian PS. Dear Jen I have checked that your refund was already made before your review for next time please double check your email.

Interesting experience

Mia_E

, Feb 2020

It feels good to have been there and seen all the horrible history on one of it's actual places. The guide could have been a tint bit better at English but all in all very good. Make sure to have warm clothes and shoes if you are there in winter.

Response from Host , Mar 2020

Thank you very much for using our service and your feedback. I would like to explain that only Auschwitz Museum can take responsibility for quality of guide service. I hope that you enjoyed your tour. All the best Damian

From the private transfer to the museum itself was lovely. The driver is fab and looks after you! The museum and tour is very informative. Although sad and upsetting tour it was a honour to go and see it.

Good operator

Easy operator, we booked last minute for a private van to and from Auschwitz and they provided quickly. Driver was pleasant And polite. The actual tour was a bit abbreviated but might have been so to our late morning pick up

An excursion you don’t want to have to take

Lawrence_S

, Jan 2020

Hard to rate a tour where the subject is so horrid. You must go, but you wish that the events had never happened. Saying that, the tour was excellently delivered by the museum tour operator, providing fact after fact about the events that took place here. Everyone should go on this tour, and everyone should reflect on the events here.

Response from Host , Jan 2020

Thank you for great feedback. I am glad that we have been helpfull and travel with us was easier. I hope to see you next time in Krakow. All the best Damian

Highly recommend 🌟🌟🌟

Our driver arrived on time and was extremely polite and professional. He showed us a few sights as we left krakow. Once at the site he showed us to our group and showed us where to meet. Extremely professional and such a lovely way to do the tour. Arriving and leaving in a car rather than bus. Would recommend private transfer always.
