The main part of this seven-hour day trip is a guided visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau, lasting about three hours. The tour begins with pickup from your hotel or an arranged meeting point in Krakow. You then travel by air-conditioned vehicle and English-speaking driver to the Auschwitz camp, a journey of roughly one and a half hours. Upon arrival, a licensed English-speaking guide meets the group of 16 to 30 people and leads a 1 hour 45 minute walk through Auschwitz I. Visitors see the "Arbeit macht frei" gate, the last surviving gas chamber, crematorium ruins, and several exhibitions displaying photos and prisoner belongings. Following a short break, the driver transfers the group to Auschwitz II Birkenau. Here, the guide leads a one-hour walk starting at the entrance gate, showing the Death Gate, the train unloading ramp, prisoner barracks, gas chamber ruins, crematoria remains, and the Holocaust victims’ monument. After completing the visit, the group returns to Krakow for drop-off at their original pickup locations or a central city point. Entry tickets are reserved in advance to avoid waiting in line. Lunch is not included, and there is limited time between visits, so bringing a snack is advised. This tour involves significant walking and includes security checks before entry.
