Auschwitz Birkenau Führung ab Krakau/Tickets inklusive

We booked this not as a day trip to enjoy and later enthuse about over a drink. But to remember those that suffered and died at the hands of the cruel Nazi regime. It was humbling, sad and if I’m honest, at times made me angry to the point that I actually smiled and took a picture of the gallows that Rudolph Höss was hung from. Anyway back to the review. We were greeted in the lobby of our hotel by Bartek who introduced himself to us and walked us to the bus. Once we got to Auschwitz he gave us time to go for a toilet break or a quick snack ( they provide an amazing packed lunch) before introducing us to our tour guide. She was also friendly if a bit nervous at first but guided us through the camp very professionally stopping every so often to answer any questions that members of our party asked. The tour was an eye opener. I’ve seen many documentaries but they don’t have the impact that hits you by being there. Those faces on the wall will live with me forever as will the execution wall. We then had another quick break before heading off for Birkenau. Once there we were given an explanation of what happened there and then asked to walk the Same walk the unsuspecting prisoners made to the gas chamber. As the weather was not on our side our guide sped things up but all in all it was well worth the money and I’d advise anyone going to Poland to pay it a visit. We also found out that we were our guides first tour group so that explained the nerves at the beginning. Thank you Krakow Unlocked, Thank you Bartek and thank you to our guide. You were all part of making our experience run smoothly. Gary & Faye Bartoszewski

This tour was worth every penny! We were picked up early at the door of our hotel. The driver provided a safe and smooth ride to our tour. He even provided extra umbrellas due to some rain that popped up. Our tour guide was very informative with multiple facts. Would highly recommend this tour!!

Fantastic quality tour from the start. Excellent communication vrey friendly

Can’t recommend this tour highly enough. Excellent communication regarding pick up time and location. Arrived to pick us up exactly at time specified directly outside our accommodation, and dropped us back off right outside accommodation after excursion. We were able to add packed lunch on (which was much needed due to timings of excursion with 10-15 minutes break in between) Tour guide was highly knowledgeable, and conducted a very emotive and personable tour.

Booked to be collected at one time (8am) and multiple messages getting earlier and earlier so ended up two hours earlier than originally scheduled. This seams to be a theme. Driver … “drove it like he stole it” with all passengers commented on hazardous driving in inclement weather. Although the guide was knowledgeable on facts and figures, felt rushed around each area in Auschwitz too large a group crammed into small areas at a time making visibility to displays poor at times so by the time you were trying to look at one , guide was heading to next area and already started commentary… There were people with disabilities who could not keep up with guide at multiple points making whole trip not very disability friendly. No chance to read any displayed informational fact boards in attempts to keep up with information. I feel like another trip there was needed to see what was missed. Auschwitz its self is very thought provoking and I feel it’s a place that everyone should visit.

Very well organized, prior good coordination. Our driver was friendly and drove very considerately.

We booked this tour and it was faultless from start to finish. our lovely driver collected us exactly where and when arranged. We were carefully driven in his lovely clean vehicle directly to Auschwitz where we met with our English speaking guide. Having read many other reviews of other tour providers, we were aprehensive about possible long queues, ridiculously early pick ups etc. but we had no issues what so ever. Highly recommend this provider, reasonably priced and provided the exact service we had hoped for. Thank you Slavo :)

We had arranged for a hotel pick-up and drop-off which went smoothly and the driver was on time. He assisted with our tickets and escorted us to our tour group. The tour itself is all very organised and runs like clockwork. The tour is obviously very sombre and enables you to put images to the horrific stories of that terrible time as well as providing other information that you would probably not have been aware of.

A must do experience! Our driver was very punctual, provided an exceptional service! Our guide gave us so much information. Felt the group was a little big was hard to keep up with the pace of movement while trying to take in the information. But it was a very educational experience and has to be done if visiting krakow. We opted for the packed lunch, which was well worth the money and a delicious sandwich! I would recommend using this particular service!

A moving and emotional day - I had been before but my husband had not. Our guide Magda was very knowledgeable, respectful and caring.
