Full description

Following an early morning pickup from your accommodation in Warsaw, get transferred to the train station with a private vehicle. Your English-speaking driver will assist you with the check-in and wait until you are boarded for the train to Krakow.

After a short train ride, you will be welcomed by a local English-speaking driver and start your tour via shared transportation to Auschwitz. Embark on a 3.5-hour guided group tour of Auschwitz and Birkenau. Start the tour with a visit to the Auschwitz concentration camp where you'll learn about how its establishment by German Nazis on the outskirts of the town Oswiecim in 1940.

After the war, the camp was turned into a museum displaying evidence of the genocide, which you will have the opportunity to browse. In the museum watch a film made after the liberation of the camp shown in various languages. After spending time in Auschwitz continue the tour to the Birkenau section of the concentration camp. Discover how, in 1941, the German Nazis established a new camp called Auschwitz II Birkenau.

Between 1942-1945, approximately 1.5 million people lived and died here.

Around 90% of them were Jews, others were Poles, Gypsies, Russians, and prisoners from 28 countries of Europe. In 1979, Auschwitz–Birkenau Concentration Camp was listed as a UNESCO World Culture and National Heritage Site. Depart Auschwitz-Birkenau for a 1.5-hour journey to Krakow. You will have three hours of free time to see the Main Market Square in Krakow, the biggest Medieval old town square in Europe.

In the Old Town, visit Wawel Hill where the Cathedral and the Royal Castle are, the Town Hall Tower, St. Mary’s Basilica, Krakow Barbican, and Sukiennice, famously known as the Cloth Hall.

Absorb the city's unique atmosphere with its thousands of bars and delightful regional restaurants, historic buildings, and horse-driven cabs. During the trip, there will be time to eat lunch in a restaurant.

This was a high quality excursion - it is a long day so the train to Krakow was a good idea. However the only issue I have is when getting off the train at Krakow there was no one to meet you off the train and it was up to yourself to get to where you needed to be to start the tour in Krakow. Had there been someone to meet people getting off the train in Krakow then I would have awarded five stars The tour guide was very informative and I would recommend this tour

The trip was really interesting. Guides Magdalena and Agnieszka were great, polite. We came from Warsaw to Krakow, there had about 3-4hours for exploring the city and after that with guide Magdalena had an interesting tour aroud the Auschwitz camps. Thank you. The return was a little nerve-wracking because we didnt know how we should get from Krakow city centre to the train station but the bus driver dropped us near the train station. Other than that we recommend this tour.
