One Day in Poland - Auschwitz Birkenau tour from Warsaw

Auschwitz-Birkenau
Memorial Tour from Warsaw

Visit Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, the most recognized symbol of the Holocaust and one of the most important memorial sites in Europe. This private journey from Warsaw offers time for reflection, historical understanding, and a deeper encounter with one of the darkest chapters of the 20th century.

Our Auschwitz Birkenau tour from Warsaw is designed for travelers who want to visit one of the most important memorial sites in Europe in a private, respectful and comfortable way.

More than a museum, Auschwitz-Birkenau is a place of memory — a preserved witness to one of the greatest crimes in human history. This journey is designed not as a tour, but as a thoughtful encounter with the history, human tragedy, and lessons that still resonate today.

Your Private Visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau

A respectful journey through history

Advance booking required

Due to the official regulations of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum and the limited number of entry slots, this visit cannot usually be arranged at the last minute. We accept bookings with at least a few days’ notice to secure the best available visiting option and ensure proper planning of your day.

Two visiting options

Depending on availability and your preference, we offer two ways to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau. Morning visits include the official museum-guided group tour (usually 50–60 participants), following the memorial’s standard educational route. Afternoon visits can be arranged as a more personal experience with me as your private English-speaking guide.

Exploring Auschwitz & Birkenau

During the visit, you will explore the original prison blocks, exhibition halls, prison courtyards, execution sites, gas chamber remains and crematoria at Auschwitz I, followed by the vast grounds of Birkenau — including the railway ramp, prisoner barracks, watchtowers and the remains of the extermination infrastructure.

Return to Warsaw

After the visit, we return comfortably to Warsaw. The journey back offers quiet time for reflection after experiencing one of the most significant memorial sites in modern history.

Reservation Deposit Required

To secure your Auschwitz-Birkenau visit, a reservation deposit of 40 EUR per person is required at the time of booking. Due to the museum’s advance ticketing system and limited daily availability, reservations must be confirmed in advance and cannot be guaranteed without a deposit. The amount is deducted from the final tour price and covers the reservation process and trip planning.
