- Panstwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau - Visit KL Auschwitz 1. Walk through the iron gate bearing the notorious slogan Arbeit Macht Frei, which means Work Sets You Free. See 22 brick barracks, which were prison for hundreds of thousands of victims of the Holocaust. The most chilling is block number 11, the so-called prison within the prison. Block 11 contained special torture chambers including dark chambers or standing cells where various punishments were inflicted on prisoners. The first attempts to kill people with Zyklon B took place in this block. The only preserved crematorium and gas chamber is located at the end of the camp. After the visit to KL Auschwitz 1, travel in the minivan to KL Auschwitz 2 Birkenau. This part of the camp is 25 times larger than Auschwitz 1 and it was the largest of the death camps. Over 1,100,000 people were murdered here. Between 62 wooden barrack are the ruins of 4 crematoriums and gas chambers, which were destroyed by the Nazis in an effort to hide the evidence of their crimes.

To hell, and back - Very intense trip but the guide made it very Informative. You got to go in a number of the buildings which was pretty intense.
This guided tour was worth everything

Guided tour of Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camps - Definitely worth a visit if you are in Krakow. We went mid week so less crowds. We were picked up and dropped back to our hotel by Michael. He took care of everything we needed. We had a guided tour room and both Auschwitz and Birkenau.
A must trip to do.

Great visit - Guide in French very well, he had known survivors so his explanations were not school. Impeccable organization. The organizer responds quickly to messages and gives clear explanations about the organization. I highly recommend it.
Give me time to take pictures. Audio headsets provided to hear that his guide does not matter if you get away from the group to take photos. The offer includes a visit to both camps and a shuttle bus in between. Allow a little more than 3 hours, see 4.

Would definitely use again! - I was kept informed by WhatsApp on the lead up to the trip. Unfortunately our taxi dropped us at the wrong meeting point. I called the tour operator and was told not to worry, the guied would come to us. The tour guide had lots of knowledge and was happy to answer any questions.

Cancelled at the last minute. With no other option. - Sunday at 10 am we would leave.
Saturday (the day before) called at 17:15 because we had not received a message with details. This message would follow soon.
Saturday 17:35 hrs received a message that the tour cannot take place. This with no other option.
Called GetYourGuide, there we got unfriendly and little response.
Very unfortunate and annoying, partly because this tour was partly the purpose of this trip.
We are very disappointed and give a negative opinion.

Tour operator lying and cheating - Avoid these people!! Complete scammers
They take your reservation early with cheap price only to cancel it later if / when the process go up!
Poor list of excuses from lack of guides, museum being on strike to traffic issues. All lies just for them to sell your tickets to another customer who is paying more.
Book from other tour operators and avoid these people

Bad service - They cancelled on us within 15 hours of our tour starting. Would never use or recommend them. Had to cancel our trip to Auswitz. Just bad experience!

Very bad organisation - - change of visit schedule the day before without proper communication. No changes on our booking schedule in the app. We nearly missed the tour.
- no support on site. Wrong info. We finally got a contact via a colleague from another tour operator to get the info, otherwise we would have missed the tour.
- because of the undue delay of the tour, we ended up the tour at Birkenau in the dark without seeing anything
- because of the rush, some less valid persons in the group could not follow the pace and missed some explanations from the guide
- the only positive point is for the guide who was good.

Fuyez - Tour staggered during the day, with a guide who does not know her subject and who has fallen behind with an arrival in birkenau 30 minutes from the closing. I strongly advise against it. This was my second visit to the site the previous one a few years before was captivating. This one null and unfinished...not even seeing the ovens destroyed...tells us the menus of the prisoners as if we were in an all inclusive...really to flee.
