Real experiences from real travelers
The logistics were perfect. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and handled the sensitive subject matter with great care. Booking through the platform was easy and saved us the hassle of finding tickets ourselves.
Highly recommend the hotel pickup option. Auschwitz is a difficult place to visit, and having the transport and tickets handled meant we could focus on the history. The guide was top-notch.
Our guide spoke perfect Italian and English. The bus was comfortable and on time. Be aware of the small bag policy—they are very strict about it!
A well-organized day. We visited both camps and the headset provided allowed us to hear the guide clearly even in crowded areas. It’s a long day, but essential.
The queues at the entrance were huge, but our group walked straight in. The small group size (we were 15) felt much more personal than the larger tours we saw.
The transfer from Krakow was smooth. I appreciated the video shown on the bus on the way there, it set the context well before we arrived.
Everything from the booking confirmation to the final drop-off was professional. Our driver was helpful and the museum guide was world-class.
If you are in Krakow, you must go. Using this platform to find a vetted tour made it stress-free. The price was very fair for the service received.
Everything you need to know for your journey
Most tours take between 7 and 8 hours including travel time from Krakow.
Yes, you must bring a valid photo ID (passport or ID card). The name on your ID must match the name on your pre-booked ticket or entry will be denied.
Yes, bags cannot exceed 30x20x10 cm. Larger bags can usually be left securely on the tour bus.
Yes. Auschwitz I was the original camp with brick buildings and museum exhibits. Birkenau (Auschwitz II) was the much larger extermination site with railway tracks and wooden barracks.
Photography is allowed in most areas without flash, but strictly prohibited in certain rooms (like the hall of hair). Your guide will advise you.
There are small snack bars near the entrance of Auschwitz I, but eating is prohibited inside the memorial grounds. It is recommended to eat before or between the two camp visits.
The museum recommends that children be at least 14 years old due to the nature of the exhibits and the emotional weight of the history.
Prices range from approximately $23 for basic tours to $400 for private VIP experiences. Most standard group tours are around $35-$50.
Wear respectful clothing (covered shoulders and knees) and very comfortable walking shoes, as you will be walking for several miles on uneven surfaces.
Auschwitz I is partially accessible, but Birkenau has very uneven terrain (gravel and grass). Most tour operators can accommodate wheelchairs if notified in advance.
Yes, almost all tours from Krakow include visits to both Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau, with a short transfer between the two.
You can, but it is highly difficult as tickets for individual entry (without a guide) are extremely limited and often sell out months in advance. Booking a guided tour is the most reliable way to ensure entry.
