What to expect

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.

    The tour was rearranged to a later time in the day so we didn’t have enough time to explore the camps. By the time we eventually entered the camp museum we only had just over 2 hours to explore. Also the guide booklet included was not a guide book at all it was just a booklet containing photographs. No camp layout map showing highlighted areas to visit or information about specific exhibitions. Very disappointing

    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.

    Information was clear as to our meeting place & time to arrive. We nearly missed our taxi as it wasn't clear it was the 1 we were looking for. The time in the museums was very short for amount there was to see & the area to cover. We were grateful our taxi waited as we were 10 minutes late to the meeting place. The driver was kind, 1 of the passengers less so. Overall, we were really glad we went. Next time we'd book a whole day trip to the museums

    So the guided tour I booked months ahead was cancelled 3 days before by TUI Musement. I panicked and we chose a self guided tour with TUI Musement which was £20.00 dearer!! The night before we were told to be at the meet point an hour earlier. Waited in a queue for an hour before being told our tour was 3 hours later! Whole day lasted 11 hours! Security was tighter than airport. We hadn’t got a clue as no one was speaking English. Bad value for money, it was a shambles, beware.

    When we arrived at auchvitz we’re told that if we wanted a English guide then we had to wait 5 hours so we had to go round with a polish guide who we didn’t understand and rushed round then we had the same guide at the second place. The place was amazing but the experience for the cost was very disappointing
