Visita guiada a Auschwitz Birkenau con recogida cerca o en el hotel

Bucket list visit, and boy was it worth it. Very overwhelming but totally educational. The tour was quite intimate but respected the poor souls that were interned there. Moving and an eye opener, everyone should experience Auschwitz to fully understand the atrocities carried out there!!!

Very well organised collection and drop off. Good communication from tour company. We were collected from near our hotel in a minibus and met the coach at a drop off point as the rest of the group saw the salt mines in the morning. We ordered a packed lunch which was substantial and very good. Once we got to Auschwitz there was a short wait and we were given our tickets, you will need your passport or a photo of it at the gate. We were allocated a museum guide and had the same guide for Birkenau. He was excellent as you would expect. Somewhere that everybody should see if you get the chance. We pre booked this tour about 5 weeks before and would advise pre booking as we met people who hadn’t and unfortunately didn’t get to go as it was fully booked. Wear smart casual clothes and comfortable shoes. We were there at the end of October and it was pouring with rain, a rain Mac is a good idea, depending on time of year, especially as Birkenau is all outside.

Great experience but makes for a very long day with bus pickups and drop offs. Service was very responsive to questions. Definitely order their lunch pack- you won’t have time to buy any food on site. My schedule might have been unusual, but since I was only doing A-B tour, not the extra long day with salt mine, they ordered me a cab near my hotel (3 blocks outside old town) and I took a 25 minute cab (their expense, again, great communication to meet the cab). I met the tour bus at a rural gas station (the cab driver was kind enough to let me wait in his cab) Unfortunately, I don’t think any of the salt mine passengers knew I was boarding and it was already quite full (mostly of sleeping passengers tired from the early morning tour) and no one was happy about making a stop and getting a seat cleared for me. It was all a little awkward. But the driver was fantastic and really helpful and friendly and our on site tour guide was amazing. It’s definitely worth going - just allow yourself some time to rest (fyi the bus ride can be longer on the way back due to rush hour traffic- I left at 11:30a and didn’t get back until 19:30.

Tour guide was very knowledgeable- interesting- although there wasn't a lot of English language books or magnets left

All a bit rushed. Lose your guide and go at your own pace, and catch up with them where the bus is parked.

No words in as far as the history goes, however, our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable. I liked that in Auschwitz we had individual headphones to hear our guide. It meant, 1, I could hear everything, but 2 no-one was talking and you could be left to your own thoughts.

Absolutely brilliant experience from Choose Cracow. The booking had to be changed due to availability at Auschwitz and Christopher went above and beyond to ensure we still got to visit this extremely moving and historic location. The tour guide was superb - passionate, knowledgable and really bought to life the atrocities that occurred there. Our driver Alex was excellent at communicating with us about pick ups and what the format would be. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Most have heard and saw some of the awful events that were carried out in these places but to see and get more of the real story and experience the horror that was dealt out to human beings by other would be humans is so hard to believe and accept.

Good Service. Good quality price ratio. Staff very attentive. Very complete view, sorry there is no time for more photos given the number of tourists.

perfect day with Christopher. He’s very welcoming, helpful, punctual and kind. if you have to take a coach, take christopher! He is very flexible and has a sense of customer relationship! we recommend
