Auschwitz Tickets

So you have to have a guide when you go to Auschwitz Birkenau. You can go alone, but I don’t know how you would do it because all I saw our group led by guides. The guys have told as in either history or language. Our guide was a woman from Poland, and her grandfather was in conscripted to work at Auschwitz. She was very knowledgeable, and let us through the camps with confidence, and she was easy to understand.

The trip was great. The bus picked us up on the near bus station and took us to Auschwitz 1 and later to Auschwitz 2. The ride was comfortable and the guide was really nice. We were also very satisfied with lunchboxes (sandwiches with hummus and with ham, apples and chocolate bars). We wouldn't change a thing about the whole thing :)

an experience that must be lived 100%, our guide took us to a place unfortunately with a sad history, managing to tell us with great enthusiasm about facets that don't always come to light, a truly experience not to be missed

Added bonus of the museum beforehand and very interesting, especially hearing from the locals that helped with food and clothes for the prisoners. The self tour around auschwitz was great !!! Birkenau would have been a much better experience if there was about 30 more minutes at the site, as it’s very difficult to get to the gas chambers at the back of the compound and back with comfort. 1 hour is not enough to cover a much larger area than Auschwitz and take in the extermination camp fully.

Very well organized, no extra money to pay on site Excellent driver, very friendly and on time. We were 7 people in the minivan, trip from Krakow was less than 1h30 min. The driver picked us up at our hotel. Since we were a bit in advance, we visited one train rail outside the camp. Then, he left us in front of the first camp to start the visit with a guide. After the first visit, small break to eat and we took again the van to go to the second camp, where we found again the same guide from the first camp. At the end of the visit, back to Krakow.

Even with snow the tour went ahead as planned with no delays. The driver and guide were fantastic. The tour itself was very emotional but definitely worth a visit so you can have some comprehension of what happened. You are outside 50% of the time so if you go in the winter months you will need to wrap up warm

If I could give a higher score I would. The experience and service this company provided was outstanding. From booking online to the collection on the day was flawless. We received regular updates about our booking and always had piece of mind. On the day of our pick up we were a bit worried that we may not have been in the right place. We called the number provided and had a response within seconds to reassure us that we were in the right place and that our driver would be there soon. I have to say as well that the highlight to the whole booking was our pick up driver called Chris. He went through our entire day with us and although our activity was a non-guided tour, he provided all of us with a tour guide (and asked we returned it after) and pointed out all the ""key places"" to visit. He essentially acted as a mini tour guide and helped us with everything, very friendly and could not have been any more helpful. Easiest way to describe would be a LEGEND

Good idea if you were like me and booked Auschwitz on its own without a tour person and hotel pick up. Easy enough to find the bus station, however we were then more restricted by timings. I’d definitely recommend doing this day as a full tour. We had booked a bus for the way back but ended up paying again for a different time as there was an earlier bus but they didn’t let us use our voucher
