Auschwitz Birkenau Museum oder Historische Tour ab Krakau

Having planned a visit to Krakow, Auschwitz was very much high on our agenda. We were concerned having heard about some of the disreputable companies offering these tours. Auschwitz Museum Tours seemed to be OK. As per ‘normal’ the pickup time was changed, but not for the bad, 08:00 became 13:00. Very pleasant driver collected us from hotel and waited with us at coach point until the coach arrived. Coach driver Hubert was excellent. Our guide, another Hubert was very pleasant and well organised but we had the feeling this could have been his first ever tour as a guide. He knew the route, the routine, the rules and the script and did everything according to the book, but if we had not committed to lots of research before our visit we would have missed many important features. The second part of the tour, Birkenau ( Auschwitz 2) was extremely rushed and in order to take photos we were literally running to get ahead or catch up. As everyone that has ever been here will tell, this is possibly the most moving visit you will ever make - be prepared. Be sure to have bottles of water with you, it’s quite strenuous given the high speed route march and the highly emotional content. Visit here should be compulsory for every adult on earth. Full respect to Poland, this is a vast shrine and it’s impossible to experience it any other way.

Activity that is worth doing. Activity recommended 100%. Guide who knows their subject, very clear in the explanations.

Good tour organisers. The taxi lifted us at the hotel door. The driver was very friendly courteous patient and informative. We had a very good tour. Watch 10 out of 10 by Ray Comfort on YouTube…..

We felt misled by this tour. After payment it becomes clear this is an outside perimeter tour only. So NO access to the musueum and inside parts of Auschwitz. You only get to experience everything from outside the gates. This would be fine if it was made clear BEFORE booking, but the booking information makes it misleading on purpose! So be aware of what you book. Thankfully our guide John was very knowledgable and he provided us with good information, so all credits to him. He still made this trip worth the visit if you have no other options. Our poor rating reflects the booking process and the misleading information provided. The guide himself was great! Thank you John!

Wonderful experience with an amazing guide Damian👍👏🫶🏻 The tour was fantastic, it was very informative and very enjoyable I highly recommend it. The guide Damian is a highly and friendly person who explains with passion the history and the main reason why we reached the event.

Informative tour of both camps. Alexander was an excellent tour guide and explained everything clearly.

Great and informative tour. The guy was a really good translator. I wouldn’t mind doing this tour again. Highly recommend

Ticket said 8 hour and aushwits - birkenau museum or historical tour from karkow. We only toured the outside of aushwits camp.I traveled from America to see this tour,only thing good was toured our guide norbert.

My partner and l booked this tour as part of our trip to Krakow. Communication from company was great and we were given boarding instructions 24 hours before joining. Bus was clean and comfy and John and Simon (driver) were very friendly. It took about 90 minutes to get to auschwitz and tour round both camps took about 4 hours. My only complaint is that there were too many groups visiting at the same time and we couldn't always hear our guide at birkenau. It was a very sombre and thought provoking visit, which made me think about how lucky l am.

That Damian the guide has done very well but that it must be very clear before the payment. NO ACCESS TO AUSWITZ I, II OR III. Just driving around and giving an explanation.
