Visit the largest former Nazi concentration camp on a 7-hour tour from Krakow. Learn more about the Nazi program of "Abreit Macht Frei" and the genocide of World War II. Explore the gas chambers and barracks with a licensed English speaking guide from Auschwitz Birkenau State Museum.

The live guide is in English.

Other language options available only with the guide book.

On certain days, due to the high number of bookings, especially those made at the last minute, I reserve the right to substitute a English speaking guide from the Auschwitz Birkenau Museum with a guide in another available language. As a partial compensation, we will purchase English guide books and lunchboxes for you on that day.

It was a great day. My Auschwitz-Birkenau tour started at 7:05a.m. when my driver (Patryk) picked me up at my hotel on time. On the drive to Auschwitz-Birkenau, Patryk was very helpful and knowledgeable with all my questions. Very awesome guy. Our tour guide was very, very knowledgeable about both camps and the history of the area. I can't remember her name but she was able great tour guide. Her walking pace was a bit fast but everything else about her was outstanding. A day I will never forget. To both my tour guide and driver, Patryk. Thank you for an amazing day. Sincerely, John AIRBORNE Romero.

I would not use this as there were some communication as to what I was getting opposed to what we actually got. This was not a VIP experience. I was picked up at 7am and was not provided a slot till 11:45. We did not get an English speaking guide as the only one available was at 1:30…Crazy I could have gone by myself and done better

I have used Viator before and never had a bad experience until now. We paid £282 for an English guided tour of Auschwitz, which we were told began at 9am. Once we arrived we had to queue for over 2 hrs in the heat, only to discover our entry tickets hadn’t even been purchased! We were then told there were no English guides available, and they could only offer a German or Italian speaking guide! Overall very disappointing service and we would not book through this operator again.
