Highlights
  • Memorial and Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau - Auschwitz Birkenau was the main and most famous of the six concentration and extermination camps established by Germany to implement the Final Solution policy, which aimed at the mass murder of European Jews. It was built in German-occupied Poland, initially as a concentration camp for Poles, later also for other nationalities.

To get to know the place, it is necessary to visit both parts of the former camp - Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau. We have to spend about 2 hours to stay in Auschwitz and about 1 hour to Birkenau

Leaving Krakow, we have to cover a distance of approximately 75 kilometers(45 miles), which will take us approximately 80 minutes one way. Including travel time and time spent in the camp, the entire trip may take about 6-7 hours.

  • Auschwitz-Birkenau - “Judenrampe” - Located between the Auschwitz I main camp and Auschwitz II-Birkenau, the Judenramp served as the initial point of arrival from 1942 until May 1944. At this location, SS officers conducted the infamous “selections,” where arriving prisoners were divided into those deemed fit for forced labor and those sent directly to the gas chambers.

I would use this company again for a tour - Our driver was great, he even offered to stop for food on the return journey as we hadn’t had time for breakfast. . The tour guide was so knowledgeable and the trip was well run. I can’t say we had a great time due to the nature of the visit but we were all glad we made the trip.

Hidden Gem for Private Transfers - Oskar is a true professional. I attempted to book this trip last minute as part of a business trip only to learn that tickets for Auschwitz-Birkenau were sold out. Oskar said he would take care of it and that's what he exactly did. He arrived at my hotel in Krakow early and we immediately headed to Auschwitz-Birkenau. The drive was very pleasant and the conversation even better. Oskar speaks very good English. After the tour we headed back to Krakow and along the way we stopped at picnic area where there were street food vendors selling traditional Polish sausages. After having an amazing taste of Poland we finished the trip back to my hotel again with great conversation along the way. If you're looking for private transport to Auschwitz-Birkenau from Krakow or airport transfers within Krakow to your hotel look no further than Oskar!

Fantastic Service and must see tour - Oskar was fantastic. Very good at communicating to make certain our trip was low stress and enjoyable. Very clean and comfortable vehicle, with nice extra touches like water in the car. The level of service was excellent and he was very helpful in making suggestions yo guide us to points of interest near our lodging. We would definitely recommend Oskar's services to anyone visiting for the first or 50th time. Je was also knowledgeable about our tour destination and added to the experience by sharing information about the site and tour details so we knew what to expect. Thank you, Oskar for a great experience. The Auschwitz tour was an important experience for our granddaughter, although not a "fun" tour, it was important for her to see and experience the truth of what happens when ideologies surplant our compassion for our fellow man. Moving and compelling tour.

Visit to Auschwitz/Birkenau - Very moving experience. The horrors that were perpetuated against the people sent here are hard to imagine, let alone, endure. The world must not ever forget what happened here and never let it happen again!

Auschwitz tour - Oskar picked us up at the airport and suggested organizing a trip to Auschwitz. We agreed and didn't have to do anything. Oskar bought the tickets himself for the set time and organized everything without our interference. The entire trip with transport takes approximately 6/7 hours. On the way back, he suggested that we go off the route to taste traditional Polish sausage. He did it in the price of the trip, without adding anything. If someone cares about time and does not want to deal with organization, Oskar is the perfect person.

A unique journey! - We couldn't imagine a better experience on our tour to Auschwitz and Birkenau from Krakow. Our taxi driver was not only professional and punctual, but also showed great knowledge of the history and culture of the region. His stories and comments during the trip were fascinating and informative, which made the visit even more special. Additionally, our taxi driver took care of our comfort and safety throughout the entire trip. We highly recommend it to anyone who wants to take part in an unforgettable journey. It was a special day for which we are extremely grateful.
