The only downside was that the explanations were a little too quick, and we had the feeling that our visit had been a little rushed, which was a pity... However, we have no regrets about having taken this tour, a place to visit at least once in your life to remember the atrocities that took place there!

Every perdon should visit Auschwitz at least once in their lives. This was my 4th. While you could never say it was enjoyable, it is an amazing experience. I thought mybprevious experiences were better, I felt my latest trip was very stream lined. Previous visits were more rugged and got a better experience of the camps. Having said that, I understand why it has changed, because of the large numbers of visitors. But I still preferred my previous visits. I would still recommend that people visit these 2 camps.

I couldn't figure out who this group of people were until I was farther away and barely heard her. Much to my surprise, she was actually saying PRIZoners.

It's not the kind of place you have a great time and indeed I never expected to. I put good on my review as the tour guide was amazing with knowledge and the way he respectfully presented life and deth within the camps back in the day. Some of the exhibits were heart wrenching but need to be seen as an educational reminder of how cruel history was back then. The tour was excellently organised from pick up in Krakow central to drop off the same evening. The tour was very informative and the same time heavy going to take in the misery and murder that occurred at that site. Tour guide was fantastic and could answer everyone's questions.

My girlfriend and I recently took part in the 'From Krakow: Auschwitz-Birkenau Guided Tour with Transfers,' and it was an incredibly moving experience. The tour was very well-organized, and the transfers were smooth, making the journey comfortable. Our guide, Helena, was extremely knowledgeable and compassionate, providing insightful and respectful commentary throughout the entire tour. Visiting both Auschwitz and Birkenau was deeply emotional for both of us, and it was a sobering reminder of such an important part of history. We both appreciated the opportunity to reflect and learn. Highly recommend this tour, especially with such an excellent guide like Helena.

Despite a last-minute schedule change (departure delayed by 1 hour and morning and afternoon tours reversed), organization was excellent and the day ran smoothly. Communication via a Whatsapp loop and the timing of breaks (important in an 11-hour day!) contributed to this. We had ordered lunch boxes the day before, which were delivered to us as we boarded the coach in the morning. The coach was also very clean and comfortable. Our guide literally lived his comments and explanations, which made the visits very moving in these places with a heavy past. Frankly, we recommend it. Bravo

I really enjoyed the excursion, they were punctual and gave advance notice of the change of schedule, via WhatsApp and email. We were able to visit two places on the same day, which was fantastic! Things to improve: we couldn't understand the guide very well, his English wasn't clear. There was no time for lunch, we had 10-minute breaks which we had to manage: between going to the toilet and/or having a snack. On the way back they dropped us off at the agreed place, but suggested several times that we could get off at a previous stop and walk back, it was raining, so we chose not to accept the suggestion. Overall, we were happy with our choice, there were no major problems, only aspects to improve. The tour was great.

The visit of such an important historical place is worth it and the salt mine is spectacular and I recommend it 100%. The departure at 5:20am with no option to have breakfast on the way was a bad experience. The entrance to Auswitchz was very messy with only two people at the entrance. They should improve for the amount of visitors.

I would avoid head out if possible! We got a confirmation email that stated that the departure window was 7:30-10 am and that the exact pick-up time would be confirmed a day before. A day before we got a message that the pick-up time would be 5:30!!! Somewhere in the site it stated that the pick-up times may vary and the support team, which took a month to answer my message (!!), thought that this was enough to inform the customer. The new departure time was two hours before the departure window stated in the email and I think that I’m not the only one who thinks this was too early. It was also too late to change plans for us, just a day before! I don't understand why in this case the departure window was gone in the beginning if it's completely disregarded. Second problem was that even with this outrageously early departure time there was still a lot of queuing and the schedule was tight due to that. We didn’t have time for bathroom or food after Auschwitz and were told that there would be a longer break after Birkenau. The longer break for walking to the bus, getting a snack and toilets was 15 minutes, which was not enough and me and my friend had a terrible headache for the rest of the day and couldn’t do anything else in the evening after the trip. Thirdly, we were told that the trip would be 10,5-11 hours and even with such an early start to a day, the whole trip took 12 hours. There was also something positive: the guide in the concentration camps was great and it was really humbling to get to visit the camps.

Renata was our fantastic chaffeur to and from Krakow and made every effort to get is there safely and on time. Entrance lines were seemless. One recommendation is that the driver for the Salt Mine excursion (different to Renata), collects people from the actual exit of the Salt Mine and folks are not expected to find the parking lot (which is very confusing). Otherwise an awesome day spent, thank you!

At birkenau we barely had time to get in, a brief explanation, and out we went. Twenty minutes, even less, compared to the one hour wait. The bus came by an hour earlier than expected precisely to avoid standing in line, which was an hour and a half in the cold on site anyway. However, Daniel was supportive.

The guide's performance was excellent, but my only regret was that the tour was so quick, we had to make room for another group arriving quickly, and we didn't have time to linger and read the panels and absorb the nobility of the events through the realistic reconstructions.

Organization of the day, including transportation moving discovery of the deportation sites It's a pity that the guide spoke so quickly in English with Polish pronunciation, which made it difficult to understand. Fortunately, we were very familiar with the history of the Holocaust in Auschwitz and Birkenau.

It was insightful. No problem with bus or driver. Surely the guide speaks better english, than if speak Polish, except she kept confusing me every time she said pre-ZONErs. I couldn't figure out who this group of people were until I was farther away and barely heard her. Much to my surprise, she was actually saying PRIZoners.

The night before our 6am meet up we got a message saying that we didn't have tickets booked anymore online except for the bus and that our pick up time was changed to 4.35am. We then queued from 6.25am to 9am just to buy tickets. And our tour didn't start until 1.30pm. The purpose of booking a tour that promises fast track entry to beat the queue is to receive that. And unfortunately our Auschwitz guide rushed us through the tour. We didn't really get the opportunity to spend time inside to take it all in. It was disappointing.

The pick-up from a previously communicated meeting point - it is actually advertised as pick-up from the hotel, although the bus is apparently not allowed to drive anywhere in the Old Town - was OK. The tour was very professional, and the guide repeatedly pointed out how personally affected she was because relatives of hers were also in the camp. However, the fact that the bus driver simply threw the group out of the bus in the pouring rain in an area not normally visited by tourists was an imposition.

The purchase of tickets was easy from Headout Tours and the follow-up coordination provided by the tour operator was amazing as my cell phone did not work but they left a message with front desk to advise of time change of tour. The van driver was amazing picking us up and coordinating food for us. The tour guide I would guess was the best one there as he was full of knowledge with even the smallest detail, I observed other tour guides just flying by the exhibits and we were not, he had taken his time. I would rate this whole experience as a 10 out of 10. Jean Duguay Canada

Johannes
May 2025Verified booking
The friendliness and helpfulness of our driver was outstanding! Otherwise, the tour was poorly organized, when I book with a transfer, I expect the means of transport to remain on site and not carry out further transfers in between, so that I still have to wait 55 minutes for the pick-up at the end of the tour. And only bringing the departure forward by about 1 hour and then picking us up 25 minutes late is an indication of extremely poor tour planning.

A very moving and challenging experience, with a very knowledgeable and well-informed guide. Pick-up and transfer from Krakow to Auschwitz went very smoothly, with a very helpful and efficient driver. The only 'blip' in the process was that once we had booked and paid for a 9.00a.m. pick-up online, we immediately got an email saying, ' Due to circumstances beyond our control, the pick-up time is now 5.55a.m.' When I rang to query this, the lady on the other end said there was nothing they could do. Given the nature of the museum that we visited, though, it seems churlish to complain too much, and I would certainly say that anyone visiting that area should visit Auschwitz/Birkenau.

The first part was still okay, but still ... sometimes I wanted to wander around to read the signs ... for example, the gynecological experimentation block was not commented on ... the guide's comments were given while we were still in a previous room, so there was a gap ... The worst was Birkenau... we entered... we went to the ruined room .... we saw a single barrack... and Fin 😡 While there was a children's barrack ... not seen ... right side as you enter ... not seen !.... on the plan it says kitchen bathroom...not seen ?! ... the sauna ?!...not seen Really disappointed with this pace... and on top of that, no more guide book in French 😡 Frankly, I preferred to have time to myself without a guidebook!

Our experience was very good. The whole tour lasted around seven hours (as we were informed when we made the reservation), we returned on time and were able to enjoy a nice dinner and drinks in the old town. Our driver, Patryk, was very kind and friendly. Our guide (I can't remember his name) was also very good, with excellent knowledge and gave us the tour exactly as we had imagined for this particular place, with calmness and respect.

The tour of Auschwitz was very emotional and very well organised. However on our arrival at Auschwitz at 08.30hrs we were informed by our driver that our tour was not until 11.00hrs and we should go to Birkenbau. He took us to Birkenbau and left us to look around by ourselves with no tour guide. We were then collected and returned for our 11.00hrs tour. This was not what we had booked. We were walking blindly around Birkenbau gathering information from signs. The guide would have provided a far better insight and detailed knowledge. I know this as the guide that took us around Auschwitz was excellent and he was due to be our guide as Birkenbau.

My brother and I paid for an English speaking guide and were told when picked up by the hotel that "no English speaking guides" would be available on the day of our visit (10 Oct 2024) to Auschwitz (booking id 21034794 - Partner ref # COM-T7969283). Everyone in our group was complaining, but the driver just told everyone to contact the office regarding the issue and a credit should be applied to our credit card for the lack of a guide. Essentially we wandered around the sites without any real understanding what we were looking at and wasted a lot of time. We should have been given a credit on our booking to which we had already paid AUD $294 in full on-line. This is the 2nd time i have sent this complaint and I am yet to hear back from anyone regarding the matter. I have since read many reviews regarding this tour and others have experienced similar problems. I await a response this time to what credit I will receive?? regards Terence Dwyer

Auschwitz is definitely a must-see in everyone's life. But once is enough. After that you have many open questions for yourself, for the future of our world. We would like to thank everyone who organized our tour and especially our guide.

We booked a small group tour and this was changed at the last minute. We found the venue far too crowded. Movement in some buildings was too congested and wasn't respectful to the sadness of the storyline. Our guide was on a route March and didn't take account of us who had mobility issues. That was why we chose a small group. Not happy.

The pickup was earlier than originally advised (6.20am instead of 8.00am) but it was all on time. We arrived to be met by a guide who took us round Auschwitz 1 and Auschwitz- Birkenau. The guide was very informative and was able to answer all sorts of questions relating to the visit. A guided tour is a great idea but it is well worth reading up on the subject before going.

Oui Pour information votre site n'est pas clair Nous avons reçu une confirmation nous indiquant que les billets étaient téléchargeables or rien. Nous avons stressé pensant peut être à une arnaque or c'est mr schuttle qui nous les a transmis. Cela sera intéressant de le préciser au moment de la confirmation de la réservation. tout c'est bien passé et nous avons été heureux de l'expérience. Bien cordialement

Initially we had booked for a 10:00am time slot. A day in advance we were notified that we had to be ready at 6:20am. In retrospect, this time was better because it was still relatively quiet everywhere. The bus arrived on time, our packed lunch was ready. Within 1.5h we were at Camp Auschwitz. Very impressive how they set up the museum, informative. We had a good guide who we could understand loud and clear using transmitter/ears. After Auschwitz we went to Camp Birkenau, which was the real extermination camp. Ruins of the gas chambers, barracks. I absolutely recommend this trip and book early!!!

I'd been waiting to visit Auschwitz since I was 12. Today I'm 32. When I booked, I thought there was a distinction between a half-day tour (3.5 hours) and a full-day tour (7 hours). As I'd been looking forward to this visit for a long time, I'd booked the full day. In reality, the tour of Camp 1 lasts about 2 hours and that of Camp 2 (Birkenau) about 1 hour. The rest is shuttle time from the hotel to the main bus and then to Auschwitz, 60-70 km from Krakow. I'd recommend using a tour operator for both the journey and the entrance to the memorial. Much simpler, given the crowds. Once there, I was amazed by the crowds at Auschwitz. Personally, I don't like crowds, but it's a good thing that so many people are perpetuating the duty of remembrance. For the tour in French, we were lucky enough to be guided by Dorothée. Our guide didn't just tell us the facts about the camp, but invited us to see every story behind every photo or pair of shoes. She also brought meaning to the visit, asking us about the banality of evil and the links between present and past. My only regret, which is not her responsibility, is that I felt the visits to the end of Camp 1 and Camp 2 were rushed because there was a time limit to be met. Despite this, she took the time to answer all our questions, and I was left with reading tips for afterwards. Concerning the lunch packs, the confirmation e-mail the day before was confusing. It invited you to book your lunch pack via a website, so I thought I hadn't done so with the main booking. As a result, we got 4 packs for 2. But that's a detail among the rest of the visit, which went very well. It's quite an organization considering the crowd present. Many thanks to Dorothée for the tour. This experience, although emotionally difficult at times, is essential to maintain the duty of remembrance and ensure that it never happens again.

The experience was not what we expected with the other companions. The day before, late in the evening, your intermediary company wrote to us that the trip to Auschwitz was cancelled. During the trip, it became clear that they waited until the last moment to buy tickets, because they explained to us that they are a small company and there, if someone cancels the trip, Auschwitz does not return the money. Which is not right after the tickets are paid in advance and you come from another country to look and to be told at the second last minute that they didn't buy tickets is rude. Then when we went to Wieliczka Salt Mine and traveled by van, we had bought lunch because it said on the website that the tour was 11 hours and we left it in the van while we were in the mines, no one told us that the van would be used by another group , after the trip was over and we had lunch, most of the group were missing things from lunch. The least the company should have done was compensate us with it. After that, the money returned to our accounts is not enough, in my opinion, as compensation. I don't think I will rate the experience highly, I will even spread the word to people that you are incorrect and I will not use your services again.

Was booked 2 different tours: Salt Mines and Auschtwitz Birkenau. Just the day before, Auschwitz tour was cancelled without any explanation, just due to operational issues. Requested to reimburse the tour (50% of paid package) but has been only accepted by provided to pay 25%. This is totally unacceptable as a service was paid in advance was cancelled and not credited. Extremelly bad experience with provided service and waiting to get full reimbursement for cancelled tour.

It was well organised except that we weren't collected from our hotel. We were also asked initially to walk a 20 minute distance to get the bus at 6.25am, however, when I said it was too far a better arrangement was made. Andrea (the Italian man) was very helpful and pleasant. The guides were also very good and informative. It was a great experience Mark & Rhona

There was a really lack of communication from the driver who often left us stood waiting for him. We had breaks in places where we couldn't go inside or when we returned he wasn't on the bus leaving us in the cold. His driving was also pretty scary. That said, the place we went to met our expectations.

Great experience overall. We overslept and missed the bus but met the group going from Auswitch. We took an Uber and everyone from the company were very helpful guiding us to meet the group. We got to experience Auswitch a little bit but got the whole Birkenau tour. Although a very sad history lesson a good reminder of how ugly the world can be and that we can not close our eyes to the current situation in Ukrain! The guide was spectacular and the salt mines a must. Thank you 🙏

Everything was as described in Headout homepage. Everything was planned and without any problems. Only I would like to have an English speaking driver. From other hand our driver was very polite and was driving safe. ☺️ I also liked that Headout send me text message with departure time, location ( also a link to Google maps) and local weather podcast for that day.

Every perdon should visit Auschwitz at least once in their lives. This was my 4th. While you could never say it was enjoyable, it is an amazing experience. I thought mybprevious experiences were better, I felt my latest trip was very stream lined. Previous visits were more rugged and got a better experience of the camps.
Having said that, I understand why it has changed, because of the large numbers of visitors.
But I still preferred my previous visits.
I would still recommend that people visit these 2 camps.
