Hotel pickup from Krakow to Auschwitz I and Birkenau with a licensed historian guide, skip-the-line entry, and time for reflection.
“To begin with, the pickup location and time were arranged a couple of days before and the team was really consistent and well organised. Magdalene was really sweet and kind and as we arrived to Auschwitz we were given all the information needed for both complying to the guidelines and also how we are going to divide into groups so it’s a more efficient experience. We had Kamil as our guide and we felt that he loves his job. While keeping us informed with the basics, his way of guidance, voice tone, etc helped us to comprehend better the reality of the place and feel more the atrocities taken place…”
