This was a private tour...
This was a private tour and well worth paying the extra. Our driver was very knowledgable and gave us lots of information on the way. Very comfortable clean vehicle. Our guide around Auschwitz-Birkenau was superb and because we were such a small group of 3 we were able to get so much information. Also avoided the queues. I would recommend this tour.

Whole experience ruined by just being treated like a number. Wouldn’t recommend.
Spent almost $600 Australian dollars on tickets and changed my whole itinerary just to go to Auschwits. My ticket was for a small private group of 1 - 7 people. This has been confirmed with GetYourGuide I paid over double to what the other people in the tour paid and then we were all just carelessly thrown into tour groups of 30+ people. When I raised my concerns I was told I’m wrong, I booked the wrong thing. So to break it down. I paid $600 for a 1.5 hour car ride there and 1.5 hour return. With 5 other people who paid €827 in total. It’s roughly $55 AUD for a ticket and entry. So they are charging approx $535 for a 3 hour car ride a bottle of water and a snack. Thats $178 an hour. Just to drive 3 hours and carelessly throw customers who paid for a small tour with 30+ other people and then do nothing about it. I was happy to pay the extra money because I expected for this experience to be sobering, intimate and meaningful however this clearly wasn’t the case. The providers attempted to offer me lifts to the airport which they charge $30 for however I already had one booked and they offered a “tour of Krakow but Unfortunately this ruined my experience of Krakow and Auschwitz 1 and 2 and I just wanted to get home. I have not yet been offered any compensation from the company, so I’ve had to go through GetYourGuide to request it. When talking with Alija in person after I told her how unhappy I was and my concerns she got defensive and stated “I already know what I’m going to show GetYourGuide so it’ll be fine” You think a tour group that has been operating for about 10 years would have better code of conduct and ethics then to try scam their customers.
Response from the operator: We are very sorry to read such a harsh review, especially since it doesn't refer to this service. I understand your dissatisfaction that you expected something different than what you received. However, you didn't order the service you're describing. It's very unfair to write a review about a service you didn't use, and that's exactly what you did. I hope you won't experience similar harm in the future and that you won't inadvertently hurt anyone, because that's very unfair.

Impeccable service - 10/10 recommend
A colleague and I took a private tour with Alicja and I would highly recommend her service. She was on time, professional and really knowledgeable about the area and its history. We had a lot of questions for her and she answered them all in great detail and enthusiasm. She also brought us snacks and took us to a cafe where she recommended local specialties which we very much appreciated. She also added stops to the tour that we asked for and you can easily work with her to modify what you'd like to see and where you'd like to spend time. We picked up a number of books at the bookstore in Auschwitz-Birkenau which she recommended and they've been excellent (and would have been hard to find at home). Wonderful, though understandably difficult visit and I've already recommended her to a friend who will be in Krakow in August.
via Viator
Just the best.
Let me just start by saying that Alicja is simply amazing - she took care of every small detail and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and comfortable every step of the way . We did Auschwitz-Birkenau on a 6 Hour private guided tour with a “bite of Krakow” thrown in by Alicja afterwards - and everything she planned out for us for just outstanding. If you are visiting Krakow and looking for a guide, she would be the only option in my book.

This was a special experience
We had Alicja as our private tour guide for our two days in Krakow and it was a wonderful experience. Her knowledge of the city and its history was excellent and her pleasant and warm personality made our trip a memorable one. We want to go back already! Thank you Alicia.

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Auschwitz-Birkenau Private Tour from Krakow: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Krakow.
How much does Auschwitz-Birkenau Private Tour from Krakow cost?
+
Prices start at $1100 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 Private Tour from Krakow 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 Private Tour from Krakow worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Krakow, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Auschwitz-Birkenau Private Tour from Krakow?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Auschwitz-Birkenau Private Tour from Krakow 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 Private Tour from Krakow?
+
Around 6 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 Private Tour from Krakow 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.
