About this experience
Auschwitz symbol of the extermination of the Jews and the Nazi terror against European nations. Situated on the edge of Upper Silesia a part of Polish territory that was incorporated Third Reich after the outbreak of World War II, Auschwitz was the largest camp complex of the Nazi era. It also contained over 40 subs-camps, located primarily near German industrial plants. Auschwitz was established as a concentration camp in 1940, by order of Himmler, head of the SS and the German Police. The name Auschwitz also refers to three separate camps Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II-Birkenau and Auschwitz III-Monowitz.

Private transportation...
Private transportation was great. Ordered the bag lunch. Auschwitz-Birkenau was humbling experience and very glad we did it.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the lovely feedback! We’re so glad the private transportation and bag lunch worked out well, and that your visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau left such a meaningful impression. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Excellent communication and service - made our trip very memorable
From initial enquiry through to booking process and communication this was flawless. We have a wheelchair user with us and his needs were really considered. Our driver Sebastian was very good - made sure we were in the right place at the right time - the museum is very much run to time so he navigated us through brilliantly . We hadn’t booked lunch but they offered us a fabulous packed lunch for £10 as there is little time to sort one out at the museum

A compelling visit, very worthwhile
We have just returned from our 4 day trip to Krakow, we had booked a tour of Auschwitz and Birkenau with a private transfer prior to going on holiday. The guided tour we were given when we arrived was excellent. Of course many harrowing stories and many harrowing things to see. But an unmissable tour and can highly recommend using Krakow Discovery.

Comfortable trip, thank you
Konrad was very friendly. We arrived early and so had to queue with many coach trips, maybe it would have been better to be an hour later? Excellent guide and well worth the trip.

Group trip
We were a group of 13 so a group tour was the best option , I contacted krakow discovery who gave me al the costs and info we needed for our visit , I had seen people let down by other companies so was nervous booking but we were not disappointed , collected from our hotel in a comfortable mini bus with a friendly driver who met our guide and she was very informative and passionate , a moving visit which highlighted the atrocious cruelty which was inflicted on so many people , our driver met us to then transfer to Birkenau , again our guide talked and walked us around the camp , a hot day in May so have a sun hat as no shade , Thank you for organising

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Auschwitz-Birkenau guided tour from Krakow with a private transport: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Krakow.
How much does Auschwitz-Birkenau guided tour from Krakow with a private transport cost?
+
Prices start at $101 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Krakow usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Auschwitz-Birkenau guided tour from Krakow with a private transport take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Krakow is not rushed.
Is Auschwitz-Birkenau guided tour from Krakow with a private transport worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Krakow, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Auschwitz-Birkenau guided tour from Krakow with a private transport?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Auschwitz-Birkenau guided tour from Krakow with a private transport suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Auschwitz-Birkenau guided tour from Krakow with a private transport?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Krakow can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Krakow and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Auschwitz-Birkenau guided tour from Krakow with a private transport start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Krakow within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Krakow?
+
On Outty we rank every Krakow experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Complete Cracow Bike Tour (small group of maximum 15 people!), Krakow–Zakopane: Cable Car, Chocholow Baths, Cheese & Vodka, Krakow: Zakopane & Hot Springs Tour with Cable Car (Hotel Pickup). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Krakow?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Krakow?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
