Discover Poland’s painful history lingering in the remnants of what used to be concentration camps controlled by the Nazis. These concentration camps are now museums where visitors can reflect on the past. On this journey, you will embark on a thoughtful and respectful exploration of these haunting sites.

The starting point for this full-day tour is located in Krakow, and throughout the tour, you’ll visit Brzezinka and Oświęcim.Auschwitz and Birkenau, the two infamous concentration and extermination camps, stand as harrowing reminders of humanity's darkest chapter. You'll visit the barracks, gas chambers, and memorial, telling the story of those who endured unimaginable suffering in the past.

The tour operator will provide you with an audio guide so you can learn on the go.

If we receive a high volume of bookings, we may arrange a meeting point instead of hotel pickups. We may also upgrade to a larger vehicle beyond the standard 8-seater for group comfort and switch from a museum-affiliated guide to a guide of our own. In this case, you’ll enter the museums independently, as only museum-affiliated guides have access. Rest assured, you will receive comprehensive information about the museum prior to entry. To compensate for any changes, all participants will receive a guidebook and a lunchbox on the day of the tour.

Experience a moving and educational journey from Krakow to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial, one of the most significant historical sites in Poland. This guided tour offers a respectful exploration of the former Nazi concentration camps, providing deep insight into the tragic events of World War II.

Your day begins with convenient hotel pickup in Krakow, followed by a comfortable ride in an air-conditioned minivan. Upon arrival at Auschwitz I, your English-speaking guide will share stories of daily life and survival, while you view the preserved barracks, watchtowers, and infamous railway ramps.

After a short break, continue to Auschwitz II-Birkenau, where the guide will lead you through the vast grounds, including the remains of gas chambers and crematoria. Throughout the tour, you’ll use headsets to ensure you hear every detail clearly, even in larger groups.

The experience lasts between eight and twelve hours, with all transportation and entrance fees included. Please remember to bring your ID and wear comfortable shoes, as much of the visit involves walking outdoors. Food and drinks are not provided, so plan accordingly.
