Visit the largest former Nazi concentration camp on a 7-hour tour from Krakow. Learn more about the Nazi program of "Abreit Macht Frei" and the genocide of World War II. Explore the gas chambers and barracks with a licensed English speaking guide from Auschwitz Birkenau State Museum. The live guide is in English. Other language options available only with the guide book. On certain days, due to the high number of bookings, especially those made at the last minute, I reserve the right to substitute a English speaking guide from the Auschwitz Birkenau Museum with a guide in another available language. As a partial compensation, we will purchase English guide books and lunchboxes for you on that day. The official regulations of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum do not specify an age restriction; however, given the scale of the atrocities that took place at the camp, we do not recommend visits for children under the age of 14.
