Such a necessary day trip if you’re staying in krakow- I’ve done this tour twice (once with my family and once with my partner) and highly recommend everyone to do it once in their lifetime. There is so much to see so be prepared for a full day with lots of walking - take water and comfortable shoes.

Helpful?

Our visit to Auschwitz & Birkenau was extremely meaningful. Our guide was very helpful with historical facts and figures, and everything was treated with respect for the millions of people that were lost. As much as we already knew about WW II, there was nothing that prepared us for the actual size and scope of these two locations. They are massive in size, and seeing them and walking the grounds emphasized the impact of what happened there. Please go there and experience it for yourself and share with those that you know and love.

Helpful?

Good trip, was a bit underwhelmed at the information we got though. The guide was friendly but we did struggle to understand her English at times and she spoke quite quietly. We didn't really have many breaks and felt like we could have easily been left behind if we weren't careful.
