A lot of walking a lot of climbing stairs a lot of crowd was very hot very long. They cut is short because of the heat.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback 🌟😊 We understand that visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum can be physically demanding, especially during periods of very hot weather ☀️🥵. As you mentioned, there is a considerable amount of walking, some stairs and, during peak season, large numbers of visitors 👟🚶. On exceptionally hot days, the Museum may occasionally adjust or shorten certain parts of the guided route for the comfort and safety of visitors, as these decisions are made by the Museum staff. We appreciate you sharing this information, as it will help future guests prepare by wearing comfortable footwear, bringing water and dressing appropriately for the weather 💧👟🧢.

A must visit site which is very educational and emotional. It is not a place I would take my children because it is just too harrowing not the museum itself but what happened there. We booked through trip advisor for 6 of my friends. The driver (Who was very professional) collected us from our hotel and provided us with lunch which was a little extra but well worth it. A great experience and recommend.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and heartfelt review 🌟😊 We’re truly delighted to hear that you and your group had such a positive experience from start to finish 🚐💛.

The driver could be more friendly and patient. Came at 6:50 and couldnt wait for 2-3 minutes (the instructions mention pick up between 7-10). Additionally we only had 10 minutes break for lunch, toilet, breath from walking 2+ hrs (on a 33-35○C heatwave). Also some more coordination is beneficial, ie not leaving behing team members. The guide on the other hand was amazing! fabulous! Expert in his job! Very informative and patient!
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback 🌟😊 We’re very pleased to hear that you found your Museum guide amazing, knowledgeable and patient 🕯️🎧👏. We truly appreciate your kind words and are delighted that the guided visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum was such a positive part of your experience. At the same time, we’re sorry to hear that some aspects of the day did not meet your expectations 💛. Regarding the pickup time, the estimated window shown at the time of booking is only an indication. The exact pickup time is always confirmed the day before the tour, once the Museum assigns the final entrance time. Drivers must follow a very strict schedule to ensure all guests arrive at the Museum on time, especially during the busy summer season ⏰🚐. We also understand your comments regarding the short lunch break, particularly during the 33–35°C heatwave ☀️🥵💧. Unfortunately, the timing of breaks and the overall itinerary are determined by the Museum’s fixed schedule and entry times, which leave very limited flexibility. Your feedback regarding coordination and ensuring that no guests are left behind is appreciated, and we will certainly share it with our team as we are always looking for ways to improve the guest experience 🤝✅. Thank you again for your honest feedback and for recognising the excellent work of your guide. We hope that, despite these inconveniences, the visit remained a meaningful and memorable experience. Thank you once again for travelling with us. If you ever return to Krakow, we would be delighted to welcome you again and provide another great experience 🩷🤩✈️🌍. #Auschwitz #AuschwitzTours #KrakowAuschwitzTours #SmallGroupTour #WhatsApp +48504091617 #CustomerCare #CustomerFeedback 💬 #KnowledgeableGuide 🎧 #NeverForget 🕯️ #ContinuousImprovement 🤝 #TravelWithRespect 🙏✨

The tour guide at the museum was hard to understand, and rushed to finish. We’ve heard other guides next to us giving way more information. Transportation was on time and no issues. Thank you our driver Arthur. I guess there is no way to know who will be your guide at the museum up until the last minute. Overall we saw what we went for, not an easy experience but we kind of knew what to expect.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback 🌟😊 We’re pleased to hear that the transportation went smoothly and that Arthur provided punctual and reliable service throughout the day 🚐👏💛. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to him. We’re sorry to hear that the Museum guide did not fully meet your expectations. All guides at Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum are licensed Museum guides and are assigned directly by the Museum on the day of the visit. Unfortunately, tour operators do not have the ability to choose a specific guide or influence their guiding style, pace or presentation 🎧📚. We understand that every guide has a different approach, and we’re sorry to hear you felt the commentary was rushed and difficult to follow. We appreciate you recognising that this is beyond our control, and your feedback is valuable. Despite this, we’re glad you were able to experience this important memorial site and that the overall visit still met your expectations ❤️🕯️. Thank you again for travelling with us.

Lukasz turned up bang on time and was a very good driver. The tour itself was Auschwitz first which took 2 hours and after a packed lunch break and a 10 minute drive, Birkenau next which took slightly less time. Our small party of around 9 people had the same tour guide for both sites and she was excellent. She provided an audio commentary through headsets at Auschwitz but at Birkenau you have to gather round as no headsets here. At the outset you have to go through airport style scanners and take your driving licence or passport to confirm your I.D. The tour is very moving which I expected. I wanted to see the scale of these camps; I knew they were huge but once you see both sites with your own eyes and hear the numbers of innocent men, women and children that were murdered by the Nazis, it’s industrial scale crime. There’s loads of tours available but I’d recommend this company 100%.
Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful and detailed review 🌟😊 We’re truly delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience from beginning to end 🚐💛. It’s wonderful to know that Łukasz arrived right on time and made the journey comfortable and stress-free 👏🚐. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to him. We’re also very pleased that you enjoyed having the same guide throughout both visits to Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum and Auschwitz II-Birkenau 🕯️🎧. We’re delighted that you found her knowledgeable and engaging, and that the headset system at Auschwitz helped you clearly follow the commentary. Thank you for mentioning the entry procedures and practical details 📄🛂. Bringing photo identification and passing through the security screening are important parts of the Museum’s admission process, and your advice will certainly be helpful for future visitors. Your reflections on the scale of the camps are deeply moving ❤️. Reading about these events can never truly compare to standing in the places where they happened. Seeing the vastness of Birkenau and learning about the unimaginable suffering endured by innocent men, women and children is an experience that stays with visitors forever. Remembering these atrocities is essential so that future generations continue to learn from history and ensure that such crimes are never repeated 🙏🕯️. Thank you for your wonderful recommendation and for placing your trust in our company. It truly means the world to our entire team 🌟😊. Thank you once again for recommending us.
