Use Escape2Poland for Auschwitz tour
Our trip to Auschwitz with Escape2Poland was extremely well organised. Our driver was excellent and our tour guide was very informative. We booked late ( 2 weeks before) and were given realistic expectations in terms of whether it was possible or not and what type of tour maybe available. We were kept informed via email and WhatsApp and a phone call and a few days before we were given final confirmation of our named tickets and date of trip, before any payment was made. (Other people we met were having trouble with their travel agents and getting tickets, even though they booked in advance). I strongly recommend that you email Escape2Poland with your enquiry and they will do their best to accommodate you. Special thanks to Monika, who was excellent!

fantastic
Fantastic company from beginning to end 100% recommend booking with Escape to POLAND. Communication was fabulous thank you, Monika. The drivers to and from the airport were helpful and chatty. The driver Pawel was great and again knowledgeable and chatty. Hotel columbus was very nice 👌. The Auchwitz tour went smoothly and our tour guide Anna was very knowledgeable and friendly despite the rain she made our experience great considering its such a sad place. I'm 100% happy with my time in Krakow

Visit Krakow with Escape2Poland by your side. It will be the best decision you have ever made.
We were recommended to 'Escape2Poland' by a friend. What an efficient service they provide, from our initial enquiry to any question we asked. Every pick up time arranged was prompt with very polite and friendly drivers, every excursion was professionally organised, even to providing us with a substantial, delicious packed lunch the day we visited the concentration camps. Their excellent service enabled us to thorougly enjoy our brief visit, to this beautiful city.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback on the Private Auschwitz Tour. It was truly a privilege to organize this experience for you. We deeply value your trust and satisfaction, and we are grateful for the chance to serve you. We genuinely hope to see you again soon, as we would love the opportunity to create more meaningful moments together in the future.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Exclusive Small Group Auschwitz-Birkenau Guided Tour from Krakow: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Krakow.
How much does Exclusive Small Group Auschwitz-Birkenau Guided Tour from Krakow cost?
+
Prices start at $164 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 Exclusive Small Group Auschwitz-Birkenau Guided Tour from Krakow take?
+
Plan for about 7.5 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 Exclusive Small Group Auschwitz-Birkenau Guided Tour from Krakow worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 124 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 Exclusive Small Group Auschwitz-Birkenau Guided 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 Exclusive Small Group Auschwitz-Birkenau Guided Tour from Krakow suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Exclusive Small Group Auschwitz-Birkenau Guided Tour from Krakow?
+
Around 43 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 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Exclusive Small Group Auschwitz-Birkenau Guided 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.
