Auschwitz and Salt Mine Private Tour

This exclusive tour offers the opportunity to explore Auschwitz and the Salt Mines, where you'll gain insights into the profound history of the largest Nazi concentration camp alongside a knowledgeable English-speaking guide, focusing on the harrowing events of World War II.

Private Tour of Auschwitz and Salt Mines

Your journey begins with a pickup from your Krakow hotel at the designated time, after which we will embark on a drive lasting just over an hour to the site of one of the most significant locations of the Nazi Holocaust, the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.

Upon arrival, you will commence a private guided tour in English of this notorious extermination camp established during the Second World War. The experience will take you through the former prison blocks that now serve as exhibition halls, as well as the gas chambers and crematoriums. These somber sites provide a poignant perspective on the inhumane practices inflicted by SS guards that led to the suffering and death of over one million individuals.

The tour continues to Auschwitz II-Birkenau, the section where trains transported Jews, Romi people, homosexuals, Spanish Republicans, and other victims, marking the beginning of their tragic destinies.

After the tour, there will be approximately 40 minutes of free time before we proceed to the town of Wieliczka, where you will have one and a half hours to enjoy lunch at your own pace.

Subsequently, we will explore the Salt Mines, an impressive underground network featuring more than 20 galleries. This visit includes stunning lakes and chambers adorned with salt block sculptures and the magnificent chapel of St. Kinga, entirely decorated with salt finishes.

Upon concluding our exploration, we will return you to your accommodation in Krakow, with a scheduled arrival approximately 10 hours after the pickup.

Advantages of a Private Tour
