From Krakow: Auschwitz-Birkenau Guided Tour with Meeting Point Transfers

We had a meaningful day at Auschwitz-Birkenau, a place I had always wanted to visit, where the realities of history come to life. The service was excellent, though it felt a bit rushed, and we couldn’t see everything. However, we did manage to visit the main areas. Aurelia and Anna were very friendly, and I would definitely recommend their services.

The only downside was that two days before our tour, I received a WhatsApp message stating they could not take us to Auschwitz on our scheduled day due to an internal issue and wanted to reschedule. I explained that I was visiting Poland specifically for this tour, and thankfully, they honored our original appointment.

Tour in Auschwitz itself was good. 
On the way to  Auschwitz and back, I would have loved to hear facts and stories  about Poland and krakow.  There was 3 hours sitting in a bus - plenty  a time for some interesting info.

None of choices above is a match for my experience, but I had to choose something.
Should you add a option "something else - what"

La experiencia ha sido interesante y educativa, me hubiese gustado poder ver las cosas con mayor detenimiento y poder hacer preguntas, ha sido un día intenso.

The experience has been interesting and educational, I would have liked to have been able to see things more closely and ask questions, it has been an intense day.

Agradezco mucho que existan estas visitas guiadas en español. La historia es muy valiosa y no la podemos olvidar, especialmente esta de Auschwitz. La guía expresó mucho respeto con el relato lo que me provocó una tremenda emoción y sentido a esta penosa parte de la historia y que nunca más se vuelva a repetir. Un abrazo al pueblo Polaco- Judío y que se mantenga por siempre este sitio de memoria como homenaje a todos los que pasaron por allí.

I am very grateful that there are these guided tours in Spanish. History is very valuable and we cannot forget it, especially this Auschwitz. The guide expressed much respect with the story which caused me a tremendous emotion and sense to this painful part of history and that it will never be repeated again. A hug to the Polish-Jewish people and may this place of memory be kept forever as a tribute to all those who passed through there.

La experiencia es interesante y bien explicada, lo unico que falto es que dejaran un rato libre para explorar el segundo campo de concentracion, que se ve rapido y corriendo.

The experience is interesting and well explained, the only thing missing is that they left some free time to explore the second concentration camp, which looks fast and running.

From Krakow: Auschwitz-Birkenau Guided Tour with Hotel Transfers

Our tour guide Magda was excellent. She gave a detailed unbiased account with little emotion and was easy to listen to. Fantastic job explaining such horrific acts. She was excellent.

I wouldn't use the word "love" about my experience of the Auschwitz/Birkenau sites. It was breathtaking in the enormity and extent of the evil which pervaded the whole complex.

Très bien organisé et très pratique. La prise en charge peut se faire à côté de la gare centrale et tout est organisé jusqu'au retour. 
Petit bémol les visites pourraient être un peu plus longue parfois c'est trop rapide.

Very well organized and practical. You can pick up right next to the main train station and everything is organized for your return.
A small downside: the tours could be a little longer, sometimes too fast.

This experience offers a tour of two concentration camps and a historic mine with a live guide.

Hotel pickups and drop-offs from your hotel/hostel/accommodation in Krakow and an optional lunch, add to the convenience of this tour.

You'll begin at the Nazi Holocaust's largest concentration camp in Auschwitz-Birkenau, a 2-part tour that begins at Auschwitz.

It was a very insgihtful and eyeopening trip/expereince. 

However, the last minute changes to the travel itenirary could have been better, initially we were set to depart from Krakow at 9:00 AM, instead we were told to meet at 5:00 AM in the morning. 

Sure we had a good trip, however the change of timings was very inconvinient.

Le chauffeur était génial, le guide nous a permis de bien comprendre les faits déroulant de ce qu'il s'est passé. C'était un très bon moment

The driver was great, and the guide gave us a good understanding of what happened. It was a great time.

++ Visite guidée très bien faites avec beaucoup d'informations détaillées. Les instructions étaient claires pour le transport et le point de rendez-vous. Les deux visites s'enchaînent bien entre les camps et les Mines de Sel !
-- Beaucoup de visiteurs au Musée d'Auschwitz ce lundi matin, on est donc un peu pressé par le temps ce qui ne donne pas beaucoup de temps pour se recueillir. 

++ Very well done guided tour with lots of detailed information. Instructions were clear for transportation and meeting point. The two tours flowed well from the camps to the Salt Mines!
-- Lots of visitors to the Auschwitz Museum on Monday morning, so we were a bit pressed for time, which didn't give us much time to reflect.

Really enjoyed all went smoothly except the driving!  The driver was very jerky slammed on his brakes at every roundabout or when he came up behind slow moving trucks just didn't seem to judge ahead much so impossible to have a sleep on the journey, also had radio on quite loud.

Daniel  out bus driver  was great the boy in the salt mine tour the same unfortunately  the the woman  in the camp tour was dissapoing  she walked  too fast and when  you caught  up  you  had missed  important  I so you couldn't  ask her  eny question

The tour was very informative, and the guide was knowledgeable, making the experience worthwhile. The pace of the tour was just right, allowing us to absorb the historical significance of the site.

However, we encountered a couple of issues. Our schedule was changed the night before the tour, from 1:30pm to 10:30am, which caused some hassle as we had prepaid bus trips to Auschwitz. Fortunately, the Headout representative was very responsive, even at 9pm, and assisted us with the changes.

While the meeting point was accurate, the tour guide arrived exactly on time, and there were no visible markers, like flags, to easily identify that we were in the right spot. We were asked to arrive 15 minutes early, so clearer instructions would have been helpful.

Overall, despite these minor inconveniences, the tour was well-organized, and I would recommend it to others for its excellent content and guidance.

Guide was knowledgeable. Walked too fast and was often out of range with the headsets. Otherwise, very good. Very full on though. 

The tour was fantastic and our guide was excellent, very explanatory and passionate. I would recommend the tour without hesitation. 

Sorry, it was to fast into all Buildings.  We expeced more time to read all Information.  And we expeced more time to remember to this realy bad time and the peoble, who lost their lives. 

La visita ha sido excelente. karoline fue nuestra guía y sin palabras para expresar lo bien que fue ella con nosotros. El ingreso fue rápido y estuvo todo perfecto. 

The visit was excellent. Karoline was our guide and there are no words to express how good she was with us. The check in was quick and everything was perfect.

Skip lines to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where over 1.3 million people were killed by the Nazis in WWII.

Skip-the-line entry to Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum

Pick-up & drop-off from selected meeting point

Tip: Pay close attention to the "Arbeit Macht Frei" gate, which translates to "Work Sets You Free." This phrase was a cruel deception, meant to mislead and dehumanize the prisoners.

Remember that this is a memorial site and a place of remembrance, so it's essential to be respectful throughout the visit.
