★★★★★★★★★★3.6 · 67 reviews · from $21

Visit Auschwitz and Birkenau from Krakow with shared transport, entry tickets, and a paper guidebook for a self-guided memorial tour.

“Wow! I had an absolutely amazing and honourable experience. This is one of those places that everyone should make a way and come to as it really deepens your respect, your understanding and your overall outlook on the tragedy that occurred and the horrors inflicted on so many human beings at the hand of one man and his collaborators. This is an experience that I will never take for granted and I am so grateful that I got to be a part of this tour. The tour guide (Martyna) was very passionate and informative about the historical events and it further brought Auschwitz to life. I would definitely recommend this…”

“Auschwitz is a somber and historically significant tourist attraction.

It's a place for reflection and a crucial educational experience”

“Already tried in the past in another city this experience that I consider valid, interesting and feasible on foot for all the proposed stages. You can pause and restart and listen to the description whenever you want. In addition, the application allows you to take special framed photos ( souvenir style ). Unfortunately it causes extremely cold temperatures ( -14oC ) we could not take advantage of the experience. That's too bad. Recommended for convenience of use.Auto-translated”
