Overview

Mobile ticket
Established in 1940 by Nazi Germany, in abandoned Polish army barracks, Auschwitz was the largest concentration camp and extermination center. Out of the 1.3 million people which the SS and police deported, there were over 1.1 million men, women and children who lost their lives in this horrifying place.
The Memorial is made up of two parts of the former camp: Auschwitz and Birkenau.
This infamous concentration camp operated from May 1940 in the suburbs of Oswiecim (Auschwitz in German) until January 1945, when it was liberated by the 1st Ukranian Front of the Soviet Union’s Red Army.
The tall barbed wire fences surrounding the block cells which were intended to house the suffering prisoners.
The watchtowers and the wooden barracks, along with the gallows and gas chambers show the terrifying image and demonstrate the enormous scale and depravity of Nazi Germany.
It was the largest concentration camp of the II World War.

4.00We booked this last minute with less than 24 hrs to go as our previous tour was cancelled last minute. Very grateful to have been able to go after flying to Poland just for this. Our driver Simon was really lovely and drove us there and back safely. But, as a private tour, i would have expected a little more for our money, we essentially just paid £120 each just for a taxi there and back and the tour in Auschwitz was with a group and an audio guide. The ease of not sorting the tickets or queuing up was appreciated though and i would recommend if it was slightly more reasonable.

5.00Booked a month prior after seeing lots let down at the last minute. Kamil was waiting for us 10 mins before our 7am pick up time. He was very informative, telling us much of the history of Poland and the areas he would recommend us visiting. After dropping us at Auschwitz, he got out of the car, showed us where to go and gave us our tickets. He said to text him once we’d finish the tour and he would pick us up. Very much worth doing. Kamil was fab and even booked us tickets for the following day at the salt mines. Will definitely use again when we come back to Poland.
Brilliant service

5.00We did the Auschwitz-Birkenau Tour and Zakopane Thermal Baths followed by homemade vodka and smoked sheep cheese tasting (which Kamil smoked to perfection). Kamil made these experiences so seamless and fun, as well as giving us some interesting facts about everywhere we went! We highly recommend using his services and if we ever go back to Krakow, he’ll be the first to know. Thank you Kamil 🤘🏻 Sam and Soph
