Auschwitz-Birkenau Tour with Private Transport
Overview
Discover a lesser-known but deeply moving part of Auschwitz history on this alternative guided tour. The tour starts and ends in Krakow, with comfortable transportation provided to and from the memorial sites. This experience does not include a visit to Auschwitz I or Auschwitz II-Birkenau, but instead focuses on important surrounding sites connected to the history of the victims and the development of the camp complex.
Visit the memorial to the final victims of Auschwitz and a mass grave of 700 prisoners shot during the camp evacuation in January 1945. Explore the area of the so-called “camp extension,” which housed new SS barracks, the last women’s camp, and the site of the final public execution.
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.
