Full description

Funded by the Nazi party in 1940, Auschwitz-Birkenau became both a symbol of human suffering and a witness to physical and emotional exhaustion. Learn about the history of the largest concentration camp from WWII with a professional licensed guide provided by the Auschwitz - Birkenau Museum. Your host will meet you at the entrance to the museum, where you will enter with your pre-booked ticket after passing through the security check. The first part of the museum visit takes approximately 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hours 50 minutes. Between the first and second part there will be a 10-15 minute break, when you can eat your lunch. After the break, you will board a bus for the second part, a visit of Auschwitz II Birkenau, where you will spend around an hour with the same guide.

Nice tour, if the term is applicable to visiting a KZ. The guide was very nice and informative. The only thing that turned it down a little bit to my taste is too many mentions of compensations/reparations not being paid to poles(whilst paid to the others). It's fine to mention it once, but repeating it over and over during 2-3 hours sounds more like envy or resentment.

A 10! Essential tour. Our native guide from Poland but with a degree in Hispanic Philology knew how to convey the history perfectly. His passion for his work was evident. It is important to visit these sites to preserve the historical memory and that these atrocities are not relived. Speechless! Impressive

The tour and the guide were fine! Good explanation and also enough time to look and process. What we found very difficult: it is very busy at the entrance and the guide was not recognizable dressed. Did not wear work clothes or company sign. Because of this it took quite a while until the guide and we found each other.
