The driver picked us up on time and gave us an excellent explanation of the process. The journey went without a hitch. We were driven to the museum and then picked up again and taken back to Birkenau. The lunch on offer (which we didn't choose) included 2 seasam rings (which are also sold on the market square for 3.50 Ztl) & an apple. This should cost 40 Ztl from the vendor. This is not recommended. There is also a store on site that provides food and drinks. I would recommend taking something with you! The visit was well worth it! Highly recommended!

Great experience, well-made bus, not too many organizational problems, great guide! I only don't recommend the meal, as the sandwich is very small.

I liked the organization. I only had doubts about it when I received the text message "SuperKrakow". As I had made the reservation 2 months ago, the name surprised me and I thought it was a joke or a scam.

Well-organized overall for shuttle transportation and meals. However, the tour is too fast-paced, with too many tourists in one group. This prevents us from experiencing and remembering this pivotal period in history. It would be preferable to slow down the pace of the tour, in order to absorb the difficult atmosphere. In addition, it would have been interesting to recontextualize certain moments in the tour.

The guide was very good, although in certain places the audio was cut off. What I didn't like is that they changed the tour schedule twice, and I had to reschedule.

Your experience

The reign that ruined it all!

Visit the most important historical site in all of Europe, the Auschwitz concentration camp and museum. An enduring symbol of one of the greatest crimes on humanity ever perpetrated, the Holocaust museum at Auschwitz stands as a memorial to the millions who were ruthlessly murdered by the Nazi regime and a testament to the strength of those who survived to tell the tale. Within the barbed wire fences of the camps at Auschwitz and Birkenau, 1.5 million victims lost their lives to the many atrocities committed by the sadistic SS guards and the kapos to fulfill the Nazi Final Solution. Learn more about the unfortunate inmates of the death camps and their tragic stories on this guided tour.

Camps, chambers, and beyond

Learn more about the inmates and the grueling lives they were forced to lead from the various exhibits at the UNESCO-listed museum, with extensive documentation of the many trials and tribulations the prisoners had to undergo. Further, you will be led through the camp at Birkenau, where you can see for yourself the horrendous living conditions the prisoners were subjected to, and the gas chambers where they were executed en masse. A sobering reminder of the great evils humanity is capable of, this visit to Auschwitz is sure to not leave you unchanged.
