Auschwitz Birkenau Day Trip
Between 6 and 8 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Krakow and set off for Auschwitz-Birkenau. The journey takes just over 1 hour. Upon arrival, guests will start in the prison blocks, which feature several exhibitions. The tour includes gas chambers and the cremation area, revealing the regime's brutality. We'll see the train tracks used to transport victims, with some selected for extermination or medical experimentation.
Afterward, we view the barracks, latrines and remains of four crematoriums. Guests have 45 minutes of free time for lunch before returning to Krakow, where the total duration is approximately six and a half hours.

After touring the camp, we will stop at the Judenrampe, then return to Krakow around 1:30 pm for lunch at a traditional Polish restaurant. At approximately 2:45 pm, a private tour in English through the Krakow Ghetto will be conducted, highlighting areas where the Jewish population was persecuted.
The final stop is Oskar Schindler's Factory, where you can see where many Jews were saved from death. We will then return to your hotel in Krakow.
