Auschwitz Tours from Krakow

The trip was brilliant. We travelled in extremely poor conditions, very heavy snow fall and very icy roads. The driver was fabulous. Very confident, safe and conscious of everything around us. My tour guide was Marta, she was clearly very knowledgeable and genuinely interested in the history she was telling us about. The tour itself was very fast moving and we were able to see quite a lot in a very short time. Wear comfy shoes because there's a LOT of walking and if going in winter, make sure you have your thermals because you're going to need them!

An excellent trip. The tone of the guide's commentary was in keeping with the nature of the camp and was very informative. The tour was very well organised and the guide was very friendly and helpful. We were provided with a packed lunch, which was much more substantial than I was expecting. I'm really glad I visited the concentration/extermination camp, because it helped me to understand in a very immediate and profound way the horrors that were inflicted upon the prisoners. The cruelty that mankind is capable of is terrifying. However, given the atrocities that occurred at Auschwitz and Birkenau, and the emotional impact of the exhibits and the camp itself, it is probably a trip you only want to make once in your life. A very memorable trip to an exceptionally important historic site of remembrance.

The bus left at 14:00, we were in front of Auschwitz I around 15:30. A guide met us and gave us the necessary information and booklets. He was with us when we bought our ticket and answered our questions. Thanks to Alex. Only the first camp where the Museum is located can be entered after 17:30. So we were told to visit Birkenau first. We took the yellow buses that provide transfer between the two camps before World War II. We went to the camp, we returned 17:45 GB. However, Auschwitz I closes at 19:00. Since this place is organized as a museum, it contains many images, documents and information. So I think we should spend more time here. We couldn't visit all of them because there wasn't enough time.

The trip was great, great guide who was quite knowledgeable . we did get sandwiches but wished we knew how much they would cost before going as we did not have much money then and had to go to ATM afterwards.

Very sad place, heavy weather. But something that deserves to be visited so that human beings never forget what happened there. Too sad part of history and it's important to remember the past so that it never happens again in the future.

Pick up on time & in comfortable mini van. Driver was funny and helpful. Salt mine first and first group in so had time and space to view without crowds. Lunch was tasty buns, fruit, water & chocolate. Onto Auschwitz & Birkenow the guide took us round and had excellent knowledge as did guide from salt mine. Dropped off outside hotel

The transport and guide on bus was brilliant,so helpful and pointed out on book recommended parts to see.From beginning to end was brilliant,our guide Gregory was brilliant,so helpful full of information and was there the hole time to help and guide us,everything was so relaxed.highly regament

It was extremely informative but emotionally disturbing. The first part, or Auschwitz-I, was mostly indoors and with shade from the trees. For Auschwitz-II-Birkenau, most of the activities were in the open sun, so it would help to put on sunscreen and sunglasses.
