Auschwitz-Birkenau Tour from Krakow

visited late Nov, very heavy snow that day. drive was comfortable. Had to wait 2 hrs in the snow for the 8am slot. was very crowed. driver told us to take a train back at our own expense coz she had to wait to bring back other guest. She dropped us at the krakow train station. Trip was definitely still worth it.

It was overall a shocking experience but I think it's totally worth a visit. We started quite early at 8am so I felt quite tired during the whole experience. You can order a lunch box with the agent if you want. The guide was knowledgeable but she spoke quite fast with an accent. I'd recommend to people who like history and want to see it for themselves, however horrifying experience it was.

This is a highly recommended activity and definitely a value for your money. You can book with confidence. Tour guides are knowledgable and professional.

All students should go to Auschwitz-Birkenau. We must never forget the past and the evil humankind is capable of inflicting. This tour ensures it will not be forgotten.

I had the most incredible experience on this tour! The itinerary was perfectly organized. What truly made the experience unforgettable was the tour guide.Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore with a top-notch guide. It exceeded all my expectations.

It was a convenient bus ride and a helpful guide for the course from Krakow to Ashwitz and Birkenau. The tour takes over 7 hours, so please note that this tour is worth it. It is recommended to book in advance. Thanks to Discover Tours.

I had a reservation for 8 AM, but the day before, I was suddenly told it had been changed to 6 AM. Despite booking a plan with tickets included, I was made to wait in the cold ticket purchase line on the day. Then, the coordinator bought tickets for an hour later, and I waited at the restaurant for an hour. Regarding transportation, being driven from Krakow to Auschwitz in a van was extremely comfortable (and there was enough space in the trunk for large suitcases). As for the tour itself, the explanation was provided by an Auschwitz staff member, not the coordinator. There are no food or drinks available inside the facility, so you need to buy them in advance at the restaurant or vending machines near the entrance/exit. As a crucial piece of history, it was a very worthwhile place to visit. Ultimately, I'm glad I booked this tour.

The main female guide from Discover Cracow that was leading us to the location on the bus was really useless, she was a mess. She couldn't have solutions to problems, did not really give any tips on the bus and was basically leaving the tour group on their own waiting for many times and hanging. We were waiting and waiting and she spoke so softly. The male guide showing us the tour in Auschwitz and Birkeneau itself was brilliant at his storytelling and deliverance. Overall, this tour is recommended because of the place and significance it holds for the victims of the Holocaust and everyone should go there at least once in their life to learn about this disheartening truth of the crimes. For people who are injured and old, beware of the long uneven ground stones walks and many staircases, I do not recommend it for people who are unable to walk for long.

It was a great journey to have a real life view of of trauma mankind went through, Trip was convenient, bus coordinator with sweet, the bus left on time from assigned location. Though they changed the pick up time twice. The entry to Aushwitz museum was seamless and the guide shared important information and took us around the place telling all details. It was overall a very good experience.

well organized tour. meeting spot is easy to find. The tour left on time in a comfortable bus. Tour leader John Graff was very knowledgeable and helpful.
