    We had a great time exploring and getting to know the city from a different perspective. We had fun while searching for different clues and extra points.

    One way to see the beauty of Cracow is playing a game that leads you alongside vistula river and expects some observation and riddle solving skills ! With only a suitcase and a tablet you are expected to scout some locations to find answers and solve puzzles that are displaying in AR. Great game for a good weather and a grup of people !

    If you are looking for a unique experience during exploration of Cracow's fabulous treasures and monuments, Krakow z Pasja ("Cracow With Passion") crew are your guys. They are experienced Cracow guides and excellent actors. Each of their treasure-hunts (medieval adventure, modern crime-story, funny fairy tale and more) is original, fun and lets you experience Cracow's most memorable places, stories and legends in a fresh way - so different from just walkinf from church to church with a guide and listening about who-and-who lived here and did stuff. With "Krakow z Pasja" you become a part of the story - a part of Cracow history! Akso, they have a cool dragon.

    I've done maybe 15 escape rooms in Krakow, i'm addicted :), and I would rate the Hangover room in the top 5.

    It's got some great surprises!!

    They also let you go over the 1hr mark, we had 1.5hrs until we solved everything. Well worth the money!

Has anyone done both tours before?
Do you think the former is worth doing?

I have done the tour with a guide - so i guess techncially i have gone on the "General tour 3.5h" or something similar, but i am only at Auschwitz 1 for 1.5h, and then we rushed to Auschwitz 2-Birkenau for 1h. i recently went on a organized tour from Krakow bc i couldnt secure guided tour ticket at the last minute from the website. but i think my guide may a person in training (?) cos he was guiding us with an Auschwitz educator standing beside him all the time. I still couldnt figure out whether he is a new guide in training within Auschwitz, or he needs to be chaperoned bc he is a guide hired from the 'outside' (ie not someone hired by the Aushcwitz site). I am inclined to believe it is the latter, but not sure, so would appreciate anyone with better insights. So this means there could be 2 diff guides - one is a tour agency guide from the outside, and another is a Auschwitz educator guide?
Answer: for future readers - I did the 6 hour tour and it is a better pace,smaller group and you visit a few more places in the camps. Our guide was very good. Worthwhile if you have more than a passing interest in the history. We were at Auschwitz for 3 hours and birkenau for 2.25 hours. Crowds were smaller that day so we didn’t have to stop to wait for other groups. I then returned to Auschwitz around 4pm to walk through on my own and to visit some of the country specific exhibits - Hungary’s exhibit is especially good. In order to return to camp 1, I purchased free tickets ahead of time since you have to renter the queue.

Tour vs self guided - 100% go on a tour. The guides paint a more complete picture than you will get from a guidebook. You can arrive early if you want to see birkenau before it gets crowded and walk on your own. No ticket is required to visit birkenau.

Auschwitz vs birkenau - you want to see both. Auschwitz is more intact and has almost all of the exhibits. The exhibits of luggage,eyeglasses, shoes, and human hair is overwhelming. Birkenau is 25x the size of Auschwitz camp 1. Many buildings were destroyed but you can get a better feel for the scale of the genocide. Even with most buildings destroyed you get a chill realizing how people were sorted and put to death. Many times within hours of arrival.

Krakow ghetto - to round out your experience walk through the ghetto and Jewish quarter. Visit the synagogues. Realize the size of the Jewish community that thrived in this area and then 90% of them were killed.

Last - learn about the history that led up to the holocaust. Hitler did not rise up in a vacuum. There were 20 years of anti-semitism that occurred before the death camps. The nazis were very good at isolating Jews, cutting them off from day to day community and business involvement and then eventually shipped them off to forced labor and death. Awareness of that history will help prevent this from ever happening again.
