Step back in history with a guided tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau, including hotel pickup from Krakow. This moving experience combines expert guidance, convenience, and unforgettable insights.
This full-day guided tour takes you to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located about 70 km from Krakow. The site serves as a poignant reminder of the Holocaust's atrocities, offering an unparalleled opportunity to reflect on this significant chapter of history. Your journey begins with a convenient hotel pickup in Krakow, ensuring a stress-free start to the day. The comfortable ride to Auschwitz-Birkenau allows you to relax while the driver provides insightful context about the site, preparing you for the experience ahead.
At Auschwitz I, your professional guide will lead you through the main camp, including the infamous gate bearing the chilling inscription, “Arbeit Macht Frei.” Key areas such as the barracks, gas chambers, and crematoria provide a vivid account of the camp's function and the harrowing experiences of its prisoners. The guide’s narration adds depth, making the visit both educational and emotionally impactful.
The tour continues to Auschwitz II-Birkenau, where the scale of the Holocaust becomes even more evident. This expansive camp once housed over 90,000 prisoners. As you explore remnants of the railway tracks, barracks, and the ruins of gas chambers, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the tragic events that unfolded here. This part of the tour is both sobering and profoundly moving.
Designed to be immersive without overwhelming, the itinerary includes ample time for reflection at both sites. Breaks are thoughtfully planned, allowing you to process the intense emotions the tour evokes.

Helpful? Yes
Having a guide was practical, and we didn’t have to worry about entrance tickets or travel. However, the experience wasn't as amazing as expected. The group was quite large, and there was no time to explore each area, read the available information, or reflect on the spaces we were in. There were many groups, and the waiting time to enter, along with the queue organization, was also quite poor.
Helpful? Yes
The excursion itself was very good, but the organization was disastrous. We booked the tour in French under the false pretense that there weren't enough French guides. However, when we dug deeper, we discovered that it was actually due to the lack of French speakers, and we were placed with the English group. This was shameful.
Helpful? Yes
Great excursion with a perfect guide! The only downside was the 5:35 AM departure, which was definitely too early, especially with the temperatures at -8 degrees. However, everything else was definitely worth doing.
Helpful? Yes
The guidance from the Dutch-speaking guide was good. However, the pick-up time was at 5:30 AM, which could have been a bit later since the excursion is only half a day. Additionally, there are far too few toilets available at Auschwitz.
Helpful? Yes
The experience was 50% disappointing and 50% excellent. I booked a tour in Spanish, but our guide didn’t speak or understand the language, so all the explanations and history were given in English during the entire bus ride. However, the museum guide was excellent—he spoke good Spanish and was very friendly.
Helpful? Yes
I liked visiting the place, but it felt far too rushed. We struggled to keep up with the guide's walking pace and didn't have a chance to read the information or properly look at things. We also didn't have time for the shops, toilets, or anything else!
Helpful? Yes
The tour includes entry to the two camps, which are quite close to each other. The guide provided detailed descriptions of what was being visited. The transport service from Krakow to the camps was excellent. One suggestion is to keep an eye on your emails for potential changes in the departure time (in my case, the departure time was moved from 7:30 to 5:30). Highly recommended.
Helpful? Yes
Excellent organization and good communication during the tour. However, it was a shame that the guide rushed to start talking while half the group was still in the previous block. The sudden change in the tour start time (from 08:30 to 06:00) was also problematic, especially since it was only communicated the afternoon before. Overall, the visit was well organized.
Helpful? Yes
I really liked the historical explanation. The only issue was the misleading title of the tour, which said "hotel pickup" in bold letters. In the details, it listed specific hotels and mentioned the pick-up would be just 3 minutes from our hotel. However, in very small letters, it mentioned a specific pick-up location, which was very confusing. If there’s no hotel pickup, it shouldn’t be advertised as such in the title.
Helpful? Yes
The visit is worth it to fully understand the drama of the events. However, the logistics of the tour could be improved, especially in managing time.
Helpful? Yes
Absolutely amazing from start to finish. Our English tour guide was fantastic!
Helpful? Yes
I liked everything except for the change in the scheduled departure time, which was moved from 08:30 AM to 05:20 AM. This caused inconvenience for me throughout the entire day of visiting the city.
Helpful? Yes
The pick-up wasn’t at the hotel but at a meeting point 20 minutes away. We had difficulty identifying our van since the driver didn’t take a roll call. The visit was still interesting, and the guide was well-prepared. However, there were large crowds, and we had to wait a long time to enter. Once inside, there wasn’t enough time to fully explore the different points, as it felt rushed. In Birkenau, we saw almost nothing because it was already late and there was thick fog. I advise against going during the high season and recommend going very early in the morning to have enough time and avoid the crowds.
Helpful? Yes
The excursion should be done in a more relaxed manner. For my taste, everything was moving too quickly, not even allowing time to use the toilet.
Helpful? Yes
Excellent experience. We received detailed information a couple of days before the tour, including how to prepare and find the meeting point. Everything was punctual and efficient. The guide was well-prepared, and the transportation was great.

The organization of the entrance was not exceptional, as the queue lasted an hour. However, the rest of the experience was perfect.
Helpful? Yes
The guide was very informative around the camps. However, more time for a coffee would have been appreciated, as it was very cold and the queues were long. Next time, I would bring my own flask and food, as I didn’t think the lunchboxes were good value.
Helpful? Yes
I would take this tour again if I could. The transportation was comfortable, they were on time, and well-organized. Most importantly, the guide was very helpful and polite, helping us understand what happened there while promoting awareness for those visiting the camps.
Helpful? Yes
Terrible experience. I booked for 09:00 since we were landing in Krakow at 07:00, but they moved our appointment to 05:15.

A day of reflection that should be experienced multiple times in life to remember both the cruelty of mankind and the survival instinct of the human race.

I couldn’t recommend this tour enough! It was very interesting, and we absolutely loved it from start to finish.
Helpful? Yes
My review is for the transportation and organization, which were completely disorganized. The driver didn’t speak Italian, and neither did the guides. They didn’t explain what to do or where to go once we arrived. However, full marks to the guide at the facility who accompanied us during the visit.
Helpful? Yes
Great transport and communication throughout. The tour guide was fabulous, and the meet and greet was smooth. The instructions regarding timings and meeting points were easy to follow.
Helpful? Yes
It’s extremely saddening to witness the history, but it’s something everyone should experience at least once. The guide was amazing, and the whole trip was great.
Helpful? Yes
The guide walked through the rooms in Auschwitz ahead of us and explained them, but there were too many people in those rooms at once. When we finally reached the rooms the guide had described (with headphones), we had to "run" through them as the guide urged us to keep moving to the next room. Sometimes the sound cut out when the guide was too far away, and with so many people, we couldn't get closer. I didn’t have enough time to truly see or experience these places. The whole time felt rushed. In Birkenau, there were no headphones, and the guide spoke in a normal voice, making it difficult to hear—sometimes not at all when I couldn’t get close. I could hear the voices of other guides from nearby groups, which made it even harder to follow along.
Helpful? Yes
Great experience, but there were too many people on the day, resulting in long queues. The tour felt too fast, and we didn’t have enough time to fully take it all in. We missed many points of interest due to the rushed pace. We were not informed that the Birkenau camp was under reconstruction, so we were disappointed to miss important buildings, especially the main gate. The breaks were too short to buy souvenirs, and there were limited toilets. My advice: don’t drink too much water!
Helpful? Yes
The travel was on time, and the guide was very organized and clear. It was really busy on the day we went, and we had to wait in a long queue to get in.
Helpful? Yes
Excellent visit. The guides were available and well-prepared. On the way back, they booked a Bolt ride at their expense to take us from the central station (bus checkpoint) back to the hotel.
Helpful? Yes
The itinerary and the tour guide were excellent, offering a rich and insightful experience. However, there was an issue with the driver who almost left us behind at the Auschwitz museum. I noticed that there was no headcount check after leaving the bus, which could be improved to prevent situations like this.
Helpful? Yes
Nikolas, our tour guide, was incredible—full of knowledge and always ready to answer questions. You get so much for your money on this trip, it’s definitely worth it! Thank you, Nikolas, from Mr. Curious!
Helpful? Yes
Despite the initial confusion and chaos with the bus arrival and pickup process, everything went well. The tour was moved to an earlier time, but that wasn’t an issue. There are a lot of people at the camp sites, so it feels a bit like being herded, but it’s still worth it. It’s a very somber experience.

The excursion was very well organized, on schedule, with a good driver and a friendly, competent guide. However, the guide on-site was not very engaging, explaining things hastily without adding any new details beyond what everyone already knew.

The whole trip exceeded expectations. Our guide, Nicolas, was courteous, patient, and very knowledgeable. He made us all feel comfortable and answered questions with confidence and detail. Overall, a fantastic experience!
Helpful? Yes
We paid for a tour with a guide and skip-the-line tickets. The day before the trip, they contacted us with an offer to switch to a self-guided tour with a 25% refund, as they couldn’t guarantee a guide would be available. We asked Darian, the person who contacted us, several questions about our options, but he was unprofessional—at 12:00 PM, he simply told us "you have to choose before 2 PM" without giving further explanations. In the end, we chose the self-guided tour because we didn’t have other options. However, the 25% refund seemed small, as even the discounted price was still higher than the price for a self-guided tour, meaning they took more money from us than if we had initially chosen this option. We didn’t get skip-the-line tickets as promised and had to wait in line for over an hour to collect tickets. We also didn’t receive the guidebook we were promised, so the only information we had was from a brief brochure.
Helpful? Yes
Well-organized trip with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide.
Helpful? Yes
Our guide, Nicholas, was excellent. He greeted us with a handshake and a smile at 5:30 AM and gave a brief overview of the day, promising more details as we got closer to our destination. Upon arrival, he explained the queueing and security process. Nicholas was very knowledgeable about the history and events at Auschwitz-Birkenau and showed great respect for the tragic history that needs to be understood. The coach was very comfortable, and the lunch was excellent. I highly recommend this trip, and you'll be fortunate to have Nicholas as your guide.
Helpful? Yes
Although this part of history is well known, it is very captivating to see the places with our own eyes.
Helpful? Yes
The day was very unorganized. We waited in a queue for over an hour for the 1 PM tour. The tour itself felt rushed, with no time to absorb the information, and we arrived at Birkenau in the dark. Overall, it was very disappointing.
Helpful? Yes
I purchased the package for a tour with an Italian guide for Auschwitz-Birkenau, with pick-up from a point near our hotel. The day before, they contacted me via WhatsApp to inform me of a time change (from 7:30 to 9:30), which was more convenient for breakfast but disadvantageous as the museum closes at 3:00 PM. This made the second part of the tour (Birkenau) feel rushed. The bus trip went smoothly, but on the way back, we encountered heavy traffic (though it was Sunday), so we arrived a little later than expected. Overall, it was a positive experience.
Helpful? Yes
An unforgettable day out. Communication was excellent, and the steps to follow for the pick-up point were easy to understand.
Helpful? Yes
Very good and efficient—no waiting around. We skipped the queue and were the first in.
Helpful? Yes
The line to get in with our "skip the line" tickets was terrible—we waited for over 1.5 hours. Once we got in, we were rushed. The Auschwitz part was very good, but due to the time lost in the line, we didn’t get to see much of Birkenau. We only saw one building and were told we were out of time, so we had to head straight back to the bus. There was no time to visit the gift shop or buy any memorabilia. I was very disappointed with parts of this tour, especially not having time to take a small reminder of what happened there. It was a long trip with no breaks. It’s definitely worth seeing and reflecting on the horrors of how humans were treated.
Helpful? Yes
In our case, the bus guide was excellent—always attentive to everything. However, when we arrived at the camp, the guide we had there was disappointing. She just repeatedly mentioned the number of deaths in a monotonous and overly repetitive manner. Personally, I didn’t enjoy it. I ended up using my phone to read other people's experiences at the camp to make the visit more meaningful.
Helpful? Yes
Excellent trip with lots of informative insights about the history.
Helpful? Yes
The transportation and coach guides were excellent. The museum and camp were interesting and informative, and it's something everyone should experience. The museum tour started strong, with our guide being very informative. Unfortunately, she rushed us through the Birkenau section, and we didn’t have time to stop and properly look at anything. This was highly disappointing and left us with a negative impression at the end of the tour.
Helpful? Yes
The tour provided a wealth of educational and insightful information. While I would have appreciated a bit more time in certain rooms, the experience as a whole was very pleasant. A great convenience was the door-to-door pick-up service, which took us to both camps without any hassle. The driver was extremely welcoming and friendly throughout the journey.
Helpful? Yes
We were picked up from our hotel at 7:00 AM by a very friendly driver. After picking up a few other passengers, we arrived at Auschwitz around 8:30 AM, where we were promptly given tickets and entered with no waiting in line. The tour guide was highly knowledgeable and provided detailed explanations throughout the visit. Following the tour of Auschwitz, we proceeded to Birkenau with the same driver. The entire tour concluded by approximately 12:15 PM, and we were back at the hotel before 2:00 PM. Everything was exceptionally well-organized, making for a smooth and informative experience.
Helpful? Yes
The entire experience was seamless, starting with being picked up directly from our hotel. Zibi, our driver, was fantastic, as were the rest of the staff who ensured we were well taken care of throughout. Since we booked in advance, there were no waiting times, which made everything even smoother. Compared to a similar tour we took five years ago, this one felt noticeably busier and a bit more rushed, but it was still very well managed. Overall, it was a great trip, and we would definitely recommend it—just make sure to book in advance!
Helpful? Yes
An absolutely excellent and emotional tour. Our taxi driver and tour guide were outstanding—very professional and informative. The thick fog added a haunting atmosphere to the experience, making everything feel even more intense. Despite the somber nature of the visit, it's a trip that everyone should make. Highly recommended.
Helpful? Yes
The pick-up service from our hotel was excellent, and the mini-van provided a comfortable ride to the camp. Our driver was very friendly and kept us well-informed throughout the journey. The guide was highly knowledgeable, informative, and approachable, making the entire tour both engaging and meaningful. Overall, a well-organized and worthwhile experience.
Helpful? Yes
The visit to Auschwitz I was highly educational, and we learned a lot during the tour. However, Birkenau was a bit disappointing, mainly because it was difficult to hear the guide clearly in the open areas. Despite this, the guide was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job overall. It would have been a better experience if the audio quality at Birkenau had been improved.
Helpful? Yes
A deeply poignant and reflective experience. The way the history and immense suffering are preserved and presented is a powerful testament to the dedication of those ensuring that the Holocaust is never forgotten. It was particularly encouraging to see so many school groups visiting, which is vital for future generations. Our guide was exceptional, providing a wealth of knowledge and empathy throughout the tour. From the seamless pick-up to the smooth return, the entire process was flawlessly organized.
Helpful? Yes
The tour was very well-organized and exactly as advertised. The pick-up and drop-off from our hotel were punctual, and the driver kept us informed well in advance, which made everything run smoothly. The tour itself was a profoundly moving experience. Witnessing the remnants of such immense human suffering was incredibly sad, yet seeing how the site and its historical artefacts have been carefully preserved was truly awe-inspiring. The commitment to educating people and honoring the victims, while fostering a sense of remembrance to prevent such atrocities from recurring, is remarkable. However, it’s important to note that the tour involves a significant amount of walking and standing, often on uneven ground. For those who have difficulty walking long distances or keeping up with a group, this may not be the ideal option. In that case, a self-guided tour might be better, allowing for a slower pace, though it would mean missing out on the wealth of information provided by the guide. Speaking of which, our guide Mirtek was fantastic—extremely knowledgeable and respectful throughout the experience.
Helpful? Yes
We had a great experience throughout the tour. The transportation was smooth and comfortable, with timely pick-up and drop-off. The tour itself was very thorough and informative, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. Refreshments were also available, which added to the convenience. Overall, it was a well-organized and insightful visit that we would highly recommend.
Helpful? Yes
The entire experience was excellent from start to finish. We received a text from the driver the day before, confirming the pick-up time and even offering a packed lunch option to avoid the queues. The pick-up and drop-off at the hotel were smooth and timely. All tickets and access were arranged for us, making the process hassle-free. Overall, a very well-organized and convenient tour. Highly recommended!
Helpful? Yes
A very disappointing experience with this tour company. To start, they arrived at the wrong hotel for pick-up and then informed us that they could no longer pick us up, leaving us to pay for a taxi ourselves to avoid missing the tour. By the time we arrived, the tour had already started, forcing us to purchase new tickets and join a different tour with the museum’s own guides, again at our own expense. To make matters worse, when I contacted the company afterward to request a refund, they outright refused, despite the fact that we didn’t receive any of the services we had paid for. Overall, it was a frustrating and unprofessional experience—I would not recommend this company to anyone.
Helpful? Yes
An amazing experience from start to finish. The driver was punctual, friendly, and welcoming, making us feel comfortable right away. They provided clear explanations about the day, guided us to each point, and stayed with us until we reached the entrance. The tour itself was exactly as expected—thorough, informative, and thought-provoking. The guide led us through each significant area, answering all questions with great knowledge and patience. Overall, everything was well-organized and made for a smooth, enriching experience. Highly recommended!
Helpful? Yes
One of the most humbling and powerful experiences of my life. Visiting these two significant places was deeply moving and thought-provoking. The driver was excellent, making the journey smooth and comfortable, and the guide provided detailed and insightful information throughout the tour. The experience truly leaves you reflecting on the unimaginable horrors inflicted by the Nazis. A highly emotional and impactful visit that everyone should make at least once.
Helpful? Yes
Expanding the hotel pickup area would be a great improvement, allowing more travelers to conveniently join the tour without the need for additional transportation arrangements. Including a few more or slightly longer stops during the tour, especially for lunch or souvenir shopping, would also enhance the overall experience. It would give participants time to relax, reflect, and make the most of their visit without feeling rushed. These additions could make an already memorable tour even better by adding comfort and flexibility.
Helpful? Yes
The experience was disappointing due to several issues. The guide rushed through the tour, providing explanations but showing little empathy toward the group. He often walked ahead, far from the group, and engaged in conversations in Polish with another guide, making it difficult for us to follow or feel engaged. Additionally, we discovered that we had paid more for the tour than other tourists on the same bus and participating in the exact same tour. It feels unfair and unprofessional to charge different prices for identical services. Overall, this lack of organization and transparency made the experience less enjoyable than expected.
Helpful? Yes
The driver arrived promptly at the scheduled time and ensured we reached Auschwitz well in advance, making the start of the tour stress-free. The guide was highly informative and showed great empathy throughout the visit. On several occasions, she respectfully turned off her microphone as a mark of respect, which added to the solemn atmosphere of the tour. The visit to Birkenau involved a considerable amount of walking, but it didn’t feel as informative as Auschwitz. We believe spending more time there would enhance the experience. Despite that, we are glad we made the trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau and found the entire tour well-organized. We couldn’t fault the company for anything and would highly recommend their service.
Helpful? Yes
Everything about the tour was great, except for one issue—I paid extra for hotel pickup but was asked to go to a meeting point instead, which was a bit disappointing. However, the guide truly made up for it, providing an exceptional experience. Their knowledge, communication, and empathy were outstanding—definitely a 10 out of 10! Overall, despite the pickup inconvenience, it was a well-organized and memorable tour.
Helpful? Yes
The tour was very well-organized from start to finish. The pick-up from our hotel was punctual, and the driver was both friendly and helpful, ensuring a smooth start to the day. We were provided with headsets, allowing us to clearly hear the commentary from our tour guide, who was interpreting from a Polish-speaking guide. The guide was clear, informative, and open to answering any questions we had. The tour is divided into two parts, starting with Auschwitz, followed by a short drive to Birkenau. A break for lunch is provided in between, and there’s an option to purchase a packed lunch for around £10, which includes a salad or baguette, water, juice, a chocolate biscuit, and two pieces of fruit. Given the high prices of food on site, opting for the packed lunch is definitely worth considering. The tour itself is deeply impactful and offers a sobering insight into the horrific events that took place. The respectful behavior of everyone during the tour added to the solemn atmosphere. Overall, this is a highly recommended experience for those wanting to learn more about this significant part of history.
Helpful? Yes
Everything was great from start to finish. Communication was excellent, with clear instructions on where to be and the option to pre-order lunch, which was a nice touch.

The tour itself was well-organized, and the guide was extremely knowledgeable, providing detailed and insightful commentary throughout the day. Overall, it was a smooth and enriching experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested. Thanks for a well-executed trip!

The tour was very informative, with great facilities and easy access throughout. However, be prepared for a significant amount of walking, so wearing sturdy shoes is highly recommended.

This was a deeply sad but essential experience when visiting Krakow—truly insightful and thought-provoking. Unfortunately, I can’t recall the name of our guide, but he was incredibly knowledgeable and provided a wealth of information that added so much to the tour. The only slight downside was that, despite paying for hotel pickup and being located in the old town where pickup is usually possible, we were asked to walk to a meeting point. However, it didn’t cause any major issues, and overall, the tour was very well-organized and worthwhile.
Helpful? Yes
The transport was comfortable, and we were informed of the collection time the day before, which made everything very convenient.

A well-executed tour for such an important and somber site.
Helpful? Yes
I initially wanted the tour to start at 8 AM, but it was rescheduled to 10 AM, which was a bit of a drawback. However, we left promptly at 10 AM, and there was no waiting in line to get in, which was a positive. The only downside was that we moved through the sites quite quickly, leaving little time to pause and reflect, though that seems to be common with many guided tours. On a brighter note, the guide was friendly, helpful, and genuinely kind, which added a personal touch to the experience. Overall, a well-organized tour despite the minor timing issue.
Helpful? Yes
A very touching and emotional experience—you know what you are going to see, but nothing truly prepares you for it. The transport was well-managed, and the guide did an excellent job, offering clear explanations throughout. The organization was smooth and efficient. My only suggestion would be to allow for slightly slower pacing, which would give visitors more time to fully absorb the history and atmosphere of such significant places. Overall, a well-run and meaningful tour.

We had several well-timed breaks, which made the day more manageable. The actual tour around the exhibit was incredible. The guide shared a wealth of detailed facts and stories, making the experience deeply informative and memorable. It was particularly engaging when she shared personal insights about her role and why she finds it meaningful. Despite the eerie and somber atmosphere, it was a valuable experience for learning about this significant part of history and ensuring that the past is never forgotten. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a thoughtful and well-organized tour.

Everything was well-organized, making the entire experience smooth. I highly recommend this tour operator for their professionalism and reliability.
