Auschwitz Tour from Krakow

Auschwitz-Birkenau was the largest concentration and extermination camp established by the Nazi regime and specifically designed to carry the extermination of European Jews but also Poles, Gypsies, Russian POWs and people of other nations. It consisted of three main camps: Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II (Birkenau) and Auschwitz III (Monowitz). A few years after WW2 the Polish government restored Auschwitz and turned it into a museum. It was also included on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979. Our tours in comfortable vans start with hotel pick up. After a 1h30min drive we reach Auschwitz Museum where we start the visit with a 15min documentary filmed by Russian troops immediately after the liberation of the camp. The tour with a licensed museum guide continues through Auschwitz and later leads to Birkenau. After a 3h30min tour around both camps we take you back to Krakow and drop you off in the city centre or at your hotel. The service we offer is the most convenient, reliable, safe and money's worth way to visit former concentration camps.Polish culture and history have always been deeply connected to the Catholic religion. The Catholic Tour is designed to give you the impression on Polish Catholicism and show you the most important religious places in the country. You will visit the symbolic and holy Black Madonna Shrine in Czestochowa city 120km north of Krakow and Kalwaria Zebrzydowska religious complex, both listed on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. One of the most famous Poles - Karol Wojtyla, better known as Pope John Paul II, is another massive symbol of Catholic religion. The tour covers places referring to the life of the former Pope, including his hometown of Wadowice. READ MORE...http://www.auschwitz-tours.com
