    Great service!

    Guide was very attentive to our needs and went out of his way to make our day a good experience. He knew a lot about the area and engaged in good conversation.

    Great Tour- Worth the Money!

    We were so fortunate to have found Pawel through VIP Poland. We traveled to Krakow to visit Auschwitz and Birkenau but hadn't gotten tickets in advance. We must have tried a number of companies that were all booked for Wed March 10 and then booked with another that ended up canceling the day before. So we spent more money for a private driver and Pawel made the day so special and worth every penny. He picked us up at 8:30 am on the dot so we were at the ticket office to get a group tour for 11:30 (English speaking). Instead of waiting around, Pawel took us to the only remaining synagogue in the area and the attached museum which we had all to ourselves. We had the Auschwitz tour from 11:30-1:30 and then met Pawel who had packed us a wonderful lunch. Then we met our guide for the short bus ride to Birkenau and we were back by 3. The ride out took a little over an hour with little traffic. The ride back was a bit beyond 90 minutes. Pawel is smart and knowledgeable and we enjoyed chatting with him. He is also devoted to his clients. He managed to get 2 of the remaining 10 same-day tickets available for our time slot and made us feel special in what was a sad but important day. Ps Remember to bring your passports which are necessary and book Mon-Thurs for much shorter lines.

    Myself and my husband Sean visited Auschwitz on 7th of March 2025 .. We were lifted from our hotel by private transfer with a lovely man called Pablo.. from start to finish he was fantastic 👏 told us all we needed to know .. had lemonade and waters on arrival and when we got collected at the end of our tour Pablo had pizza and a beer waiting for us . First class service and would highly recommend this service .. We plan to return to krakow later this year and will definitely be using this service and hopefully meet Pablo again for another great service on visiting more places 😀

    Auschwitz-Birkenau Tour – English Guide & Lunch Box: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Krakow.

    How much does Auschwitz-Birkenau Tour – English Guide & Lunch Box cost?

    +

    Prices start at $100 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 Tour – English Guide & Lunch Box 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 Tour – English Guide & Lunch Box worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 74 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Krakow, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Auschwitz-Birkenau Tour – English Guide & Lunch Box?

    +

    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 Tour – English Guide & Lunch Box 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 Tour – English Guide & Lunch Box?

    +

    Around 26 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 Tour – English Guide & Lunch Box 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.
