Auschwitz and Salt Mine Private Tour
Auschwitz and Salt Mine Private Tour
We'll pick you up at your hotel in Krakow at the scheduled time and drive to Auschwitz. In just over an hour, we'll arrive at one of the main sites of the Nazi Holocaust, the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.
Once there, we'll begin a private tour in English of the largest Nazi extermination camp built in World War II. During the tour, we'll pass through the prison blocks, converted into exhibition halls, gas chambers, and crematorium ovens. In these haunting locations, we'll learn about the cruel methods used by the SS guards to humiliate, punish, and slaughter over one million people.
Then we'll visit Auschwitz II-Birkenau, where the train tracks on which Jews, Romi people, homosexuals, Spanish Republicans, and other prisoners arrived to await their tragic fate.
After the tour, you'll have about 40 minutes of free time, and then we'll move to the town of Wieliczka, where you'll have an hour and a half to have lunch at your leisure.
Afterwards, we'll visit the Salt Mines, a spectacular underground complex with over 20 galleries. We'll see lakes and halls that house sculptures and bas-reliefs made of salt blocks and the chapel of St. Kinga– its decoration is made entirely of salt.
After leaving the mines, we'll take you back to your hotel in Krakow. Arrival is scheduled around 10 hours after the initial pickup.
