The tour itself was great and we did have a memorable experience. However pick up time was 12 but we wasn’t informed of the 2.5 hour delay I had to call Tui to find this out myself. Our guide Ollie was amazing and very welcoming and informative. Poor planning with communication though we stood outside in the cold for almost an hour before finding out about the delay.
Leave Kraków for a day to visit the historic monuments Auschwitz and Birkenau. Auschwitz was one of the largest concentration camps built by the Nazis during the Second World War. The remains of the camps are now listed as UNESCO World Heritage and form the most important memorials of the Holocaust to act as proof of the terrors that took place during the war.
From the starting point located in the centre of Kraków, an English-speaking driver will take you to the town of Oświęcim where the museums are located.
Upon arrival, you can freely walk around Auschwitz for two hours with the help of a rented booklet available in 19 languages. It will provide you with all the background information you need. The driver will then take you to the second camp Auschwitz-Birkenau where you can spend at least 1 hour before travelling back to the centre of Kraków.
