★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,510 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $83Our pick

Review of the Auschwitz-Birkenau tour from Krakow, including guides, transport, timing, costs, practical tips, and who should book.

“We had a very interesting and moving day, not least due to our tour guide Mikael. He was incredibly knowledgeable, pleasant and showed great respect to the victims e.g. by keeping a three minute silence while we stood next to Block 11 and as we walked along the railroad tracks towards one of the crematoriums in Birkenau to encourage us to think of this as our memorial walk. It was tremendously touching and it all made a profound impact on us. We could easily have spent the whole day with Mikael just listening to him share his knowledge. We highly recommend a visit to Auchwitz-Birkenau.”
