Before you visit

What time will you pick us up for the tour? down up

The pick-up time depends on the Auschwitz guide's reservation which may vary from day to day. We run morning and / or afternoon tour. We highly encourage you to look at the calendar on the right corner, choose the date and check available time slots. If you have any preference or questions, you may email us or put a request in a request box, we will do our best to accommodate your request.

How many people will be on the van or bus? down up

To guarantee you a comfortable journey, we use two types of vehicles for transport: a Minivan (8 or 17 seater) for the Premium option and a bus (30 seater) for the Standard tour. If you are travelling with luggage or you require a baby seat, please let us know about it in advance. To ensure your safety, there is a possibility that the transport for the premium option will be organized by a bigger vehicle. This is to reduce contact with the driver and increase the space between passengers (COVID).

Is there any lunch break during the tour? down up

There is only around 10-minute break between visiting both camps. Therefore we advise to take some packed lunch with you. It is also possible to buy some snacks at the museum's shop but consumption is not allowed on the premises of the camps. Private tour includes packed lunch.

Yes. Wheelchair users are requested to have a companion to assist them during the tour. It is necessary to have a folding wheelchair which will fit into the van. Please note that some sites in Auschwitz are accessible only by steps. It is recommended that wheelchair users take private tour rather than group tour so the guide can adjust to their individual needs.
