Historic castle complex located on Wawel Hill, overlooking the Vistula River. It is one of the most significant cultural and architectural landmarks in Poland and a symbol of Polish national pride.
Auschwitz was the main and most famous of the six concentration and extermination camps established by Germany to implement the Final Solution policy, which aimed at the mass murder of European Jews. It was built in German-occupied Poland, initially as a concentration camp for Poles, later also for other nationalities. To get to know the place, it is necessary to visit both parts of the former camp - Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau. We have to spend about 2 hours to stay in Auschwitz and about 1 hour to Birkenau.
Located between the Auschwitz I main camp and Auschwitz II-Birkenau, the Judenramp served as the initial point of arrival from 1942 until May 1944. At this location, SS officers conducted the infamous "selections," where arriving prisoners were divided into those deemed fit for forced labor and those sent directly to the gas chambers.
The building that served as the residence of the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp commandant Rudolf Höss and his family from 1940 - 1944. Höss was one of the main architects of the Holocaust. He introduced the system of mass murder using gas, initially with shower rooms filled with Zyklon B, and later systematically developing the camp's facilities, such as gas chambers and crematoria. His actions at Auschwitz led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. After the war, Höss was captured by the Allies and tried for his war crimes. In 1947, following a trial in Poland, he was sentenced to death and executed by hanging in Auschwitz, near the camp he had so brutally overseen.
Auschwitz II-Birkenau was the second, much larger camp that was part of the Auschwitz complex. It was established in 1941, about 3 kilometers west of the main Auschwitz I camp, and became one of the most well-known sites associated with the Holocaust. Birkenau was primarily a death camp, where the mass extermination of Jews, Roma, political prisoners, and other groups persecuted by the Nazi regime took place. The Birkenau camp complex consisted of numerous barracks, as well as powerful gas chambers and crematoria, where the Nazis carried out mass murders of prisoners who were transported to the camp from all over Europe. It is estimated that about 1 million people died in Birkenau, mainly Jews, but also Roma, Poles, prisoners of war, and other victims of the Nazi regime.

Aleksandra was right on time and great about getting us where we needed to be, the car was really nice. Our guide was knowledgeable and with the appropriate demeanor given the setting of the tour. Overall a very good experience
Oscar, our private driver to Auschwitz provided a perfect experience. Great communication throughout, on time, even provided us with a lovely lunch during midway break in tour. We learned so much from him during drive time. What an accomplished, well-mannered young man! If you can manage it, private driver is the way to go!
Thank you! It was a pleasure speaking with you 🤝🙂
Amazing, private, case, reliable, knowledgeable. The only way to visit and book with them.
Amazing guide , private and real pleasure . Very knowledgeable, great launch box provided also. Perry grade A service from start. No lines or queues to wait. All smooth and fast.
What a wonderful experience with this company. We had a private ride and tour at our own pace and with our own guide provided by the museum. 100% worth it. We could ask questions and had the tour designed to what we needed. They are professional and trustworthy and knowledgeable. Every detail was taken care of. Thank you for all you do and for making this tour memorable on so many levels.
We had a great experience here! A big thank you to Oskar for contact, Alexandria for dropping off & picking up, and especially our guide Teresa. The whole team was professional, patient, and very responsible throughout the tour. Teresa explained everything in great detail and answered our questions with care. We learned so much from this experience.
This was an absolutely fantastic tour. Our driver had a beautiful car, was so professional and personable, and the drive was so smooth. The guide was so informative, sensitive and gave so many details and stories. I cannot fault a single thing and I would 100 percent recommend. I don’t normally leave reviews but I feel compelled to because this tour was absolutely perfect. Oskar messaged prior to the tour, and the driver George messaged on the the day and was ready to pick us up straight after the tour. Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience
Our driver Oskar was absolutely terrific!!! I highly recommend this booking. There were some things I didn’t understand and Oskar was extremely helpful making sure I had everything set up the way I needed for my family. My husband also had a bag leg and he was extremely helpful making sure he was able to do what was possible and went the extra mile. I can’t say enough good things about our experience.
Thanks to Oskar and Michael, super available, fast, friendly hosts, the best!!!
Prior to the visit date we were kept informed of timings and transport. This also included drivers names and advice on the tour itself. We visited during a very hot spell, which not only did events organisers advise us about, but the recommendation of pre ordering a lunch/food box as time is tight between the two camps. These were great value and a fine selection. The transport was modern, air conditioned with a friendly, knowledgeable driver. The tour guide was knowledgeable on all aspects visited and with a wide range of questions asked. They were also mindful of the extreme weather conditions ensuring the group were prepared and kept in the shade where possible. A humbling and sober tour, delivered in a professional manner from start to finish.
