Full description
As a leading tour company, we want to make sure that your experience in Auschwitz-Birkenau is hassle-free, educational and unforgettable, so we will organize for you the most convenient transportation, the best Expert Guide and skip-the-line tickets. Join us to discover the truth behind the largest Nazi concentration and extermination camp complex. For your convenience, we will pick you up straight from your accommodation in Krakow. We guarantee comfortable transportation in a clean, air-conditioned vehicle with an English-Polish speaking driver. Upon arrival in Oswiecim, your group of up to 30 people won't have to wait hours in long queues with other tourists as we provide skip-the-line tickets for priority entrance. This tour includes visiting and transport in between the original labour camp Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau, the massive extermination camp built to fulfil the horror of the “Final Solution” plan. Since visiting both sites is essential to understand the scope of the Holocaust crimes that took place here, we guarantee 3,5-hours tour of both camps, regardless of traffic jams. Throughout the tour you will hear the authentic accounts of daily starvation, harsh labour, punishment and death, but also of survival, resistance, escapes and liberation. The live commentary will be given by a Licensed Auschwitz Guide fluent in your native language to help you make sense of the complex topic. Feel free to ask any questions at any time. We will also provide special headsets so you’ll be able to hear your guide properly even if the area is busy and noisy. While visiting the barracks, gas chambers and crematoriums you will discover the gruesome details of atrocities committed here. You will learn about the camp commanders and the politics behind the creation of the Nazi death machine. Only with our knowledgeable 5-Stars Guide you will also gain an insight into the postwar legacy of this horrific site, including the story of the theft of the famous gate inscription Arbeit macht frei (“work sets you free”). For your comfort, you will be dropped off at your accommodation at the end of the tour.

    The transport to Auschwitz and back by bus was well arranged, including the lunch boxes. The communication regarding logistics was also good. I found the tour disappointing. The guide was already talking in certain areas in barracks while not everyone was there yet. You couldn't stay too long looking at photos, for example, because the next group would be standing next to you. Personally, I found the tour rushed and we skipped a several barracks at Auschwitz 1 Same thing at Auschwitz 2, I missed a moment for yourself to let everything sink in. The memorial monument was also skipped. If you want a quick tour of Auschwitz in a large group, this is the tour I recommend. If not, I advise you to look further and to be well informed in advance. In my opinion, Auschwitz is not a place to walk through in a hurry. For me it was the second time I visited Auschwitz and I read a number of books about this terrible place. I realize that this can also make me more critical.
