Overview

Mobile ticket
Auschwitz-Birkenau is a terrible but also terribly educational place. Take DutchPoint Kraków with a Dutch Guide to the camp where more than 1.2 million people were killed, including about 60,000 Dutch and 24,000 Belgians. During this excursion (6 hours excl. travel time) with a Dutch Guide we walk through Museum Auschwitz I and also see the impressive Dutch barracks - Flemish guests see the Belgian ones - and walk through a gas chamber. After a break we go to the huge Birkenau. There we visit barracks - which give a good idea of the living conditions - and the remains of gas chambers II and III. We end the excursion at the monument of Monowitz (Auschwitz III). It is possible to visit the bookstores along the way and there are 5 sanitary stops.
Please note that we do not offer all our available dates / excursions via this platform.

5.00So nice a guide in his own language. Wesley told everything so clearly, but also with feeling, he made you think. We've seen whole, heard whole, and learned things we didn't know yet. Really very impressive. Highly recommended.

4.00Very interesting and interesting excursion with Marijke who managed to tell the story in an impressive way. That gave you a good idea of the total number of terrible things that took place in those years. You have to see and experience it for yourself to get an impression of how big the camp and everything around it has been.

5.00The excursion to Auschwitz was an unforgettable experience. Together with my two grown-up sons I got to do this. Very impressive what we saw and heard in and about Auschwitz. Dutchpoint provides enough clear information in advance to embark on this journey. Marijke our Dutch guide was great. She has provided us with a lot of information in a pleasant way. She knows so much about Auschwitz. Marijke’s passion and interest for her work is evident. She knows how to convey the feeling and emotion of that terrible place very well. Everything fine arranged. Thank you for this experience.
Definitely recommended

5.00Wesley showed us around very nicely. A lot of feeling for the sad side of the excursion. What an extra enrichment is that Wesley knows many NL anecdotes about Auschwitz. Everything was well arranged with packed lunch and drinks.
