Auschwitz-Birkenau In-Depth Private Tour

This is one of the most memorable and important tours ever. Always so crucial and deep experience, even while having been to Auschwitz over 1000 times (personally, I had also family members who were touched by tragedy of WWII, being imprisoned in the camps). By doing this for so many years and knowing deeply the topic as well as meeting many survivors, during this visit You will hear facts, but also important stories, aspects and many reflections.

// Due to so many visitors to Auschwitz-Birkenau, I strongly recommend to book this tour at least 2 or 3 months in advance //

During Auschwitz-Birkenau tour there is always possibility to spend time on talking about things you are most interested in as well as to keep silence whenever needed. Auschwitz-Birkenau was the largest German Nazi Concentration and Death Camp in Europe where over one million people perished, so not to repeat the tragedy, we need to remember what people may do to the others. It is always experience of universal and profound reflections.

Guided tour to Auschwitz-Birkenau - The place of memory and important experience for everybody.

Private Tour to Auschwitz from Krakow

Auschwitz Birkenau Full day Tour from Krakow

Auschwitz Birkenau Museum is a symbol of the Holocaust, which left a great mark not only in Polish history. So it's not surprising that you are considering a visit to the Auschwitz Museum. Everyone must visit this place.

One of my passions is the history of Poland. It concerns the history of World War II as well as the history and culture of Jews in Poland. I would like to share my passion with you during a tour to Auschwitz Birkenau camps. The journey from Krakow to the museum takes 1. 5 hours one way only. During this trip, I will tell you, among others: how did it happen that the largest number of Jews lived in pre-war Poland? How much did the Second World War affect Krakow and Poland? Unfortunately, I cannot accompany you inside the museum as the tours are reserved only for the guides working there. However, we will meet immediately after visiting the museum.

When you decide to visit Auschwitz with me, you get more than just transport to the museum's door, just like other tours offer.

Entrance ticket will be included in price.

Auschwitz-Birkenau - from Krakow (6-8h)

Auschwitz - Birkenau Full day Tour - A Trip From Krakow

In order to take in the grounds and exhibitions in a suitable way, visitors should set aside a minimum of about 90 minutes for the Auschwitz site and the same amount of time for Auschwitz II-Birkenau. It is essential to visit both parts of the camp, Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau, in order to acquire a proper sense of the place that has become the symbol of the Holocaust as well as Nazi crimes against Jews, Poles, Romas and other groups.

This event in world history changed it. Personally, I believe that it is an experience that every person in the world should have: to hear and see what happened during the 2nd World War in Polan. On the way to the camp complex, I will make an appropriate commentary in the context of Polish culture and history, which will help to look at the event from a humanistic perspective.

On an evening before we will have a nice walk in the Krakow Old Town finished at the great traditional restaurant. I am happy to offer you a ride from an airport, if needed.

Highlights: Day Trip to Auschwitz/Birkenau from Kraków

Auschwitz - Birkenau full day tour from Krakow

After over two decades of my experience of being a tour guide in Poland it never ceases to
amaze me that some historical sites not only need to be visited many times, but they need to be shared with others. My master's degree in history equipped me with a unique perspective that I am very happy to share with you upon your visit to Poland.

My most memorable experience as a guide is taking visitors to Auschwitz. One can never feel at ease visiting one the most tragic sites, which served as a factory of death. Knowing stories about significant places might make one more knowledgeable about them but sharing them with visitors always puts adds a new perspective on experiencing them, and thereby humanizes them.

Over the years I had the privilege of meeting and many notable individuals including Eva Kor, who was subjected to Josef Mengele's experiments at Auschwitz.

Cultural and Natural Heritage of Lesser Poland - 1 Day Private Tour

During this 1-day tour, we will make a roundtrip by private car visiting several spectacular places located in southern Lesser Poland along the Dunajec River. This region is rich in history as for centuries it was a borderland between Polish and Hungarian kingdoms, populated by different nations and crossed by several trade routes, which were protected by impressive castles.

It was also a place where shepherds and highlanders' culture developed strongly, and many of their traditions are still alive even today. Until now, one can meet shepherds and their herds crossing the mountain glades, and try various regional specialties sold in small wooden huts.

And this is not all, as due to the stunning biodiversity of this region, its nature is protected by Pieniny National Park and several smaller nature reserves.

The heart of this region is Szczawnica Zdrój, which has been known since the 19th century as a popular spa resort, offering several attractions for its visitors.

Discover these unique places with me!
