    Departure Point

    Traveler pickup is offered
    We will pick you up from any address in Kraków. Mostly we use 8 pax minivans.

    On certain days, we reserve the right to replace the minivan with a larger car and to arrange a meeting point instead of a hotel pick-up. This is due to the high volume of bookings, the number of our cars is limited, at the same time we want to ensure that everyone can book.

    On certain days, due to the high number of bookings, especially those made at the last minute, a day or two before the tour, I reserve the right to substitute a guide from the Auschwitz Birkenau Museum with our guide. In accordance with Museum regulations, he is not allowed to enter the Museum premises and will therefore provide you with all information before the tour. As a partial compensation, we will purchase guide books and lunchboxes for you on that day. Please bear this in mind when booking your tour, if possible at least one week in advance.

    We had a luxurious van and Jakub was a very informative guide who provided us with a huge amount of detailed information. We couldn’t have had better service than what was provided by this company.

    Jakub was our guide. He did a great job, as best as you can with the subject matter. The seats were a little tight in the minibus, other than that it was a fine tour.

    We paid £177 for 2 people, to Auschwitz, driver was polite and on time,lunch was good but the tour company did not pre book our guide and we had to go with a Polish speaking guide, even though we had booked an English speaking tour, and therefore could not understand what was being said. This hugely impacted our understanding of the history of Auschwitz. When we got to Birkenau the guide tried her best to double up on the information but due to the amount of information she struggled to keep up The site and organisation of Auschwitz along with the guide was excellent just mared by the tour company taking money and failing to prepare.

    Seeing the actual buildings and grounds and being able to match that with the photos and stories. This gave a true aense of the horror and depravity that took place and made the tour extremely impactful.

    Probably one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had the misfortune to participate in . Not only did the pick up time change from 9.00 to 6.00 am Which meant a get up time off 4.00 am ( without time for breakfast ) we actually arrived at the museum at 7.30 and still never got in till 9.30 . Then to rub salt into wounds the guides microphone packed in with 20 mins to go . And she refused to talk louder as she thought it was unprofessional ? Priceless . We then had 7 mins break ( which was supposed to be Lunch) before setting of for second part of tour . Throughout the tour the very rude guide kept of asking us to hurry along as there were too many other groups behind us . We waited for years to see this tour , for it to be totally ruined . I ask everyone that will listed DO NOT USE La Vacanza Travel .
