Auschwitz Birkenau Guided Tour

About This Trip

Our Auschwitz-Birkenau guided tour departs from Krakow for a confronting day of reflection at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. It is undoubtedly a solemn place that leaves a lasting impression on every visitor, and stands as an important memorial to the victims of the persecution and murder carried out here.

Founded by the Nazi regime in 1940, Auschwitz-Birkenau became both a symbol of human suffering and a witness to unimaginable physical and mental cruelty, as the site of the systematic murder of millions of people during the Holocaust – including many who were murdered in the gas chambers.

The tour takes you to the museum and memorial site of Auschwitz I, where original buildings, exhibitions, and personal belongings offer a sobering, close look at what happened here.

You’ll walk through the gate bearing the inscription “Arbeit macht frei” to enter Auschwitz-Birkenau, one of the most heavily preserved of the German concentration camps, where the tour continues in the second site of Birkenau, where more people lost their lives than at any other. Time is set aside to reflect before your driver takes you back to Krakow.
