Our guide Eva, the driver Pawel and your colleague explained everything excellently. Super Unfortunately, our lunch boxes were canceled at short notice because we didn't pay on the same day, which was a bit of a shame, although we had confirmed that we would take them. Otherwise everything was fine. Greetings Rita

Positives: upstream organization and transport. Negatives: we got our meals at 4pm between the 2 camps, with the remark that it was up to us to ask for them... The toilets at Auschwitz are too small for women...always the same. The guide didn't "get us into the swing of things", and I think a paper guide would have sufficed. Given the difficulty of finding a French guide...I'm sorry. Finally, she pointed out that we wouldn't be able to see the men's barracks because we hadn't chosen the right ticket...great...we didn't know...no information except for an error on your site. In short...disappointed

The Guide and the driver were excellent and very informative. Birkenau involved a lot of walking which was quite challenging for older people and those with mobility issues. Buggies would be a welcome addition.

L'organisation était carré mais surtout la guide traductrice en Français était géniale ! Par contre très déçu de l'option déjeuner, une lunchbox à 9€ avec un petit pain une tranche de jambon et des crudités... une gaufrette au chocolat une pomme et une bouteille d'eau...que l'on vous donne à 15h30 au lieu de vous la donner dans le bus pour la manger a 11h30 sur le trajet qui dure 1h, je rajoute que vous devez la finir en moins de 10 min chrono... bref prenez un sandwich dans l'automate en arrivant à auschwitz.

The guide is nice and instructions are clear. However, the English is a little bit hard to understand. It would be better to shorten the waiting time between visiting 2 campsites.

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

Your guide will lead you through both of the concentration camps located in Auschwitz and Birkenau, all the while trying to illustrate the sheer scale of the horrors of the Holocaust with the help of facts and anecdotes. 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.
