WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

ADDITIONAL INFO

• Specialized infant seats are available
• Suitable for all physical fitness levels
• TRANSPORT: For transportation, we use minibuses and minivans. If you have motion sickness or any other issues related to traveling by car, please inform us in advance. The travel time depends on the weather and road conditions, so it may be extended.
• VISIT: The Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum attracts numerous visitors daily. Exploring at your own pace may not be feasible due to the high volume of visitors. It is essential to maintain appropriate and respectful behavior while in the camps. The dress code is smart casual, reflecting the solemnity of the site. Activities such as eating, smoking, and loud behavior are strictly prohibited within the Museum premises.
• PICKUP: A few hotels in Krakow are situated in traffic-restricted areas. Your pickup will be arranged from the nearest accessible point, and you will receive notification.
• DEPARTURE: Due to the museum's policy, capacity limits within the buildings, and the high number of visitors, the pickup time may be subject to change. We kindly ask for your understanding and suggest avoiding planning other activities on the day, as rescheduling might pose a challenge. We understand that our clients want to explore our city as much as possible, and we strive to provide advance notice regarding the pickup time frame. Typically, around 3-7 days before your visit, we will reach out to everyone, allowing you to plan your day accordingly.
• DOCUMENTS: As it is obligatory at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum to confirm your personal details, you must provide the full names of all participants when making a reservation. Additionally, please ensure to carry your passport or ID with you, as it may be checked at the museum entrance. Failure to do so may result in denial of entry to the museum.
• BAG SIZE: Please be aware that entry to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum is not allowed with large bags or backpacks. The maximum permissible size is 30cm x 20cm x 10cm. You can securely leave your bags in your car, which will be locked during your visit.
• LUNCH: Lunch is not included in the tour package. There isn't ample time for a regular lunch break between visits to Auschwitz (1st camp) and Birkenau (2nd camp), so it's advisable to bring along a snack or some food to stave off hunger. However, if you prefer a more substantial meal, you can opt to order lunch boxes through us for an additional fee. We'll send you the offer the day before the excursion. Please note that at the parking lot, only vending machines with snacks are available, as the restaurant is currently under construction.
• SECURITY: Please be prepared to undergo a security check, similar to airport procedures, before entering the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum.
• WEATHER: Our operations run regardless of weather conditions. You will spend up to 70% of your time outdoors, particularly at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. Therefore, we advise you to dress accordingly for the weather and bring water, especially on sunny days.
• CHILDREN: Children must be accompanied by an adult, and infant seats are available for younger children. Due to the potentially traumatic nature of the visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum, we recommend that visitors be at least 13 years old.
• PICTURES: Visitors are generally permitted to take photographs, with a few exceptions clearly indicated. However, taking photos inside buildings using flash is strictly prohibited.
• CONTACT: We confirm all tours via messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Viber, Signal, and Telegram. According to us and our clients, this is the most convenient form of communication. If you don't use any of them, don't worry, we'll send you an email. Emails are sent through the system, so please also check your spam folder to ensure you don't miss our message.
• GROUP: The group is of the standard size recommended by the museum, typically ranging between 16 and 30 people.

This tour group did a great job organizing the day! Communication beforehand was very good through WhatsApp to tell you details of pickup time and to confirm pickup location. The driver was on time, friendly, and informative about the process of the day. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. I’m very glad I chose this group as my tour group!

The transfer was timely, efficient and effective. Driver, Konrad, was polite, clear, informative and managed the trip well.
The guide was was educational, informative and passionate about the events of Auschwitz/Birkenau. He gave food for thought and challenged what I thought I knew, always with respect and compassion. Cannot recommend this trip enough, a guided tour is the only way and these guys did it the best.

A very well organised and managed experience. Note that requested timings are subject to tour guide availability at the site (behind the control of the company), resulting in a late pickup (1.40pm) and drop-off (8.30pm). This made for a longer day than ideal. However, everything was very well communicated in advance and ran very smoothly. Michael, the driver, was excellent and the tour guide very knowledgeable and passionate about the history and our experience of it. Highly recommended.

The tour was done sensitively and with respect for what happened. Bridget was a fabulous tour guide whose knowledge was great. She delivered the tour with great sensitivity and avoided giving her opinion on issues. Very thoughtful. Lunch was great and our driver lovely.
