Auschwitz-Birkenau Tour with English Guide

Experience a profoundly moving visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial Complex on this approximately 7-hour guided tour, one of the most significant and tragic historical sites in Poland. The complex serves as a powerful reminder of the atrocities committed during World War II and the suffering endured by millions of innocent people. During the tour, you will explore the museum, the remains of the two concentration camps, and a wide range of preserved artifacts, including photographs, personal belongings, and documents that tell the stories of the victims. It is estimated that around 1.3 million people were imprisoned here, with approximately 1.1 million losing their lives through execution, forced labor, starvation, illness, or in the gas chambers. The visit provides an opportunity not only to learn about the past but also to reflect on the importance of preserving human dignity and remembering the lives lost during this dark chapter of history.

Throughout the tour, a licensed and professional guide will accompany you, offering detailed historical insights and sharing personal stories connected with the different parts of the memorial. Guests will travel in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle, with assistance provided by the driver until the group enters the museum. Visitors are advised to carry only small bags or backpacks within the permitted dimensions of 30 x 20 x 10 cm, and to bring a valid ID card for entry. Given the long queues and variable weather conditions, it is recommended to dress warmly and bring rain protection if needed. Departure from Krakow may be scheduled early in the morning to maximize the time at the memorial, allowing for a comprehensive and reflective experience that honors the memory of those who suffered and perished at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
