Auschwitz-Birkenau Guided Tour from Krakow
Full-day guided tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau with a licensed guide — entry tickets, headsets and return transport from Krakow included.
Krakow to Auschwitz Tour, Skip the Line
This full-day Krakow to Auschwitz tour visits both Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau with a licensed local guide, skipping the long entry line reserved for individual visitors. The tour runs for about 7 hours and departs from one of three central meeting points in Krakow (Wielopole 2, Pawia 18a, or Starowiślna 65) rather than a hotel pickup, so the whole group sets off together on time. Entry tickets, headsets and return transport are included — select your date and group size below to see availability.

Your licensed local guide, entry fees for both Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau, headsets so you can hear the guide clearly throughout the site, insurance, taxes, and round-trip transport from Krakow by air-conditioned vehicle are all included. Food and drinks are not included — there isn't time for a full meal between the two camps, so bring a snack or add a lunch box when booking.
How much does this Auschwitz-Birkenau guided tour cost?
Prices start from €49 per person. Check the calendar above for exact pricing based on your chosen date and group size.
What languages is this Auschwitz tour available in?
Guided departures run in English, Dutch, Italian and French. Language options vary by date and time slot, so check the calendar above to see which languages are running on your preferred day.
How long does the Auschwitz-Birkenau guided tour take?
This is a full-day tour lasting around 7 hours in total, covering both Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau with a live guide. Departure times are tentative and can shift due to the Museum's own schedule and traffic, unless you add the Time Guaranteed Last Slots option.
Where do I meet the group for this Auschwitz tour from Krakow?
This tour departs from one of three central meeting points in Krakow — Wielopole 2, Pawia 18a, or Starowiślna 65 — rather than individual hotel pickup, so the whole group can set off together on time. Your exact meeting point and time are confirmed after booking.
Does this tour really skip the line at Auschwitz-Birkenau?
Yes — this guided tour uses group entry access, which avoids the long queue individual visitors without a guide have to wait in. You still go through the same security check as everyone else, similar to an airport, but you won't be waiting in line for a ticket or entry slot.
What is the Time Guaranteed Last Slots option?
It's an optional add-on for travelers who need a fixed schedule — for example, an evening flight or train to catch. With this option, your entry time at the Museum is verified in advance, and departure won't shift by more than about 30 minutes. Without it, times stay tentative and depend on the Museum's daily schedule.
What documents do I need to bring?
You must provide the full names of all participants at the time of booking, and bring a valid passport or ID card on the day — entry to the Museum can be refused without one. This is a requirement of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum itself, not just this tour operator.
Is this Auschwitz day trip suitable for children?
Children are welcome when accompanied by an adult, and infant seats are available on request. That said, the subject matter can be emotionally difficult, so the recommended minimum age for visitors is 13.
Is the Auschwitz-Birkenau guided tour wheelchair accessible?
No — this tour is not wheelchair or stroller accessible, and there is no public transportation nearby the site. If you need accessible arrangements, contact us directly before booking so we can advise on the best option.
What should I bring on this full-day tour from Krakow?
Bring your ID or passport, comfortable walking shoes, and weather-appropriate clothing — the tour runs in all weather and up to 70% of the visit is outdoors, especially at Birkenau. A bottle of water and a snack are recommended, since there's no time for a sit-down meal between the two camps.
