Professional service.
Excellent experience: communication, pickup, connecting us to our guide ( who was amazing) and making sure we were always comfortable with connections through two sites. Highly recommend.

Description
Visit the largest former German concentration camp, located about 70 km from Kraków, in the town of Oświęcim. Explore Auschwitz and Birkenau with respect and proper guidance, learning about one of the most important and tragic chapters in human history — the Holocaust. Unlike standard tours, which often operate in groups of up to 30 people, we are one of the few companies offering small groups of only 10 participants. This allows for better interaction with the guide, a more personal atmosphere, and a deeper understanding of this important place. ● English-speaking driver and personal assistance ● Hotel pick-up and drop-off ● Guaranteed Skip-the-line admission ● Lunch box available for an additional fee ● Official licensed museum guide. IMPORTANT: Due to the complex ticket booking system, hotel pick-up times may differ from the time selected during booking, especially for last-minute reservations.
Tour Options
Itinerary
Our English-speaking driver will pick you up from your hotel or any location you specify in the reservation.
After approximately one hour of travel, you will have a short restroom break. During this time, our driver will coordinate your meeting with the guide. You will then spend around 2 hours with the guide at the main camp, Auschwitz I.
After visiting the first camp, there will be a 20-minute break. During this time, I will take you to the former unloading ramp known as the Judenrampe. For logistical reasons, this site is not included in the guided tour, but I believe it is an important place that completes the overall visit. During this break, you may also eat a lunch box, which you can order from us in advance
After the break, you will continue to Auschwitz II–Birkenau, the largest part of the former concentration and extermination camp complex. Together with a licensed guide, you will spend approximately 1.5 hours exploring the site. During the visit, you will see the remains of gas chambers and crematoria, the railway ramp, wooden and brick barracks, and learn about the daily life and fate of the prisoners. This part of the tour provides essential historical context and helps fully understand the scale and significance of the Auschwitz complex
After the tour, you will meet your driver again and begin the return journey to your hotel in Kraków

A great trip with excellent driver and guide
This was a great trip, highly recommended. We where picked up at the hotel by a friendly and serviceminded driver. The car and the seats was great. We were always given a big lunchbag with a fresh sandwich, juice, fryit and much more. We were well taken care of, and will definetly use them again.

Auschwitz tour
This was an amazing experience. The tour guide was able to arrange the ticket for us, despite it being sold out the day before. First class service, also great conversation and very friendly.

Highly recommended!
We were very happy with this tour provider -- the small group tour (only 8 ppl total in our group) was much better than wandering around in a large group of 30-40, and we were able to ask our guide many questions. We also paid a bit extra (80USD) for private transport from Krakow to/from Auschwitz, which was well worth the cost. We were picked up just outside our Airbnb, and returned to almost the same spot. The actual tour time ended up being different from what we booked, but that seems to be common given how the tours operate at Auschwitz, since the guides work for the museum, not for the tour company. Door to door, the tour lasted about 6 hours.

Good experience with this travel agency
We had a great experience with Thomas, our driver. He was punctual, informative, polite, and was good to give suggestions on options for our tours. The tour director Oskar was very helpful, quick to respond to messages and gives the full details and cost of the tours. We would use them again.
