    Went for an afternoon tour of Auschwitz. It was a good tour although the bus transport was very cramped and hot. The guide on the bus was really friendly and helpful and had lots of interesting facts during the journey. Definitely recommend.

    It is essential to have a tour guide round this venue - the guide we had was sensitive, didnt try to impress, just told it like it was - very moving experience. Everyone should do it!

    Darius was so great! I had booked tickets for Auschwitz and the salt mine and needed a driver. He picked us up and treated us to a glorious day. We had extra time so he gave us a highlights tour of the city. Such a GREAT bonus! Then chose a great spot for us to have lunch so we could try some traditional Polish food. Was delicious. He ended up having free time so picked us up the following day to take us to the airport. Highly, highly recommend!

    We did the Auschwitz/Birkenau trip with Krakow Direct. The service was excellent, the drive punctual, professional and friendly and spoke excellent English. There's a lot to fit in and it's really busy but our guide was very knowledgeable and we didn't feel rushed. We were so impressed with the service we then arrange a private tour with them to Zakopane and the Chocholow Thermal Pools. It was a last minute decision and we wanted to visit specific places which they were more than happy to accommodate. Peter, our driver was lovely and very knowledgeable about the area. Loved Zakopane and the Thermal pools. Although it's a 2 hour trip each way from Krakow, I would definitely recommend a visit. Would not hesitate to recommend Karkow Direct.

    The trip to Auschwitz was heartbreaking and very thought provoking, but our main reason for visiting Krakow... Our tour guide Jacob was extremely knowledgeable, and you could sense that he felt very passionate when he described the horrors of this evil place. Would very much recommend this trip, as it's something that needs to be taught and remembered forever 💔

    What an awesome service, a super frequent & economical service to travel round Kraków, simply download the jakdojade app, load up with a credit from apple pay, enter the tram and pay for the ticket onboard from your phone, it simply asks you to put the reference of the tram your travelling on, so easy

    We had a ride with the driver Mr. Bart. He came with a new fancy black Mercedes (wonderful car). The communication with him before the arrival was excellent. The ride was a joy.

    I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional service provided by your travel agency during my recent trip to Karakov. The experience you crafted for me exceeded all expectations, and I am truly grateful for your dedication and attention to detail.
    Special thanks to Pezmek , he is so knowledgeable not only helped me choose the perfect itinerary but also ensured that every aspect of my trip was taken care of, from accommodations to transportation and sightseeing activities.

    The personalized care and support I received were remarkable. It's evident that your team goes above and beyond to create unforgettable travel experiences.

    Thank you once again for everything. I look forward to planning more adventures with your agency in the future.

    Robert was punctual and polite we ordered a taxi to take us to the airport at our hotel a day before and it all went so smoothly, they messaged us to confirm the order only few minutes after I placed it and they kept us informed the next morning when the driver was coming to pick us up. He was on time and the car was clean and new.

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.
