Booked from Italy online without any problems. Paid online, a price that, in my opinion, was adequate for the offer and the place to visit. Unfortunately, there was no availability for a tour in Italian, but our English-speaking guide (which I understood) was wonderful. The trip was comfortable in a nice vehicle large enough for everyone. The driver was kind and good at driving. The organization in Auschwitz was perfect: a long, comprehensive tour, with extensive explanations and moments of reflection, which are needed here. The closing words of the visit by the guide were beautiful; unfortunately, I don't remember her name, but the organization can find her (visit on June 2, 2026 at 12:40 PM from Krakow). My comments, however, are that this work cannot be done differently here. The only flaw? You need to check that the meeting point for departure is the one booked, because for me it didn't match; many chats adequately resolved the problem, so watch out! Otherwise, everything else is fine.

We were contacted in advance after the booking, so we knew all details before we left. We sat at the front on the bus and Camille our bus driver was a great driver so we felt very safe. Magda was a delight and looked after us all throughout the day, she was so polite and friendly. Anya was very knowledgeable as our guide, and also very friendly. It rained and was miserable but we think that was better as we weren't there to enjoy ourselves. The tour worked very well like a well oiled machine, and being in the surroundings meant more than reading about the topic. Thank you very much for looking after us Lisa & Ian

Of course that the feeling that i had in Auschwitz it is hard to describe . The trip was good organized, unfortunately they changed my pick up time instead of 10:15 am I was picked up at 5:25 am, it was not pleasant at all, they explained us that the time slots are what I preferred but not guaranteed, biiiig minus for that.

Had an amazing experience on this tour. Our guide Philip was really lovely to chat to, and his knowledge and advice helped us come away with things we didn't know before. The memorial is just something else, so glad we got to experience it.

Une excellente guide en français, nous a permis de bien comprendre le fonctionnement des camps . C'était très intéressant et bien que la visite dure longtemps, nous n'avons pas vu le temps passé. Ma fille dev16 ans a été captivée.

It is really hard to say I loved any part of it, but the guide was very good. This must never be forgotten. As many as possible should visit Auschwitz Birkenau and see for themselves.

    Tour bien organizado y puntual, pero la guía careció de impacto El tour estuvo muy bien organizado y fue perfectamente puntual. El coordinador principal en el autobús fue muy amable, riguroso con el horario y proporcionó una logística clara para el día, asegurando que todo saliera a la perfección tanto en Auschwitz I como en Birkenau. El principal inconveniente fue la guía especializada del sitio que nos dirigió a través de los campos. Aunque su español era bueno y la información estadística era correcta, la entrega se sintió un poco superficial, probablemente debido a una ligera barrera idiomática. Cuando los participantes hacían preguntas, las respuestas a menudo volvían a los datos ya expuestos en lugar de aportar nueva claridad. Además, el relato careció del profundo impacto histórico que requiere un lugar tan significativo. La explicación de la escala y la crueldad del campo se sintió más estadística que inmersiva. Pasamos apresuradamente por zonas profundamente impactantes, como las exposiciones de los objetos personales de los prisioneros, las cámaras de gas y los barracones de Birkenau, sin que se nos diera el tiempo adecuado para detenernos, reflexionar y procesar por completo la gravedad de lo que sucedió allí. En general, la logística y la organización fueron excelentes, pero la guía en sí podría haber aportado una profundidad histórica y emocional mucho mayor.

    Punctuality and freindliness of personnel! The whole trip was efficiently organised and ran according to plan, from pick-up in Krakow to transfer at Auschwitz-Birkenau and return to Krakow. Despite change in pick-up time we were all agreed it did not upset our day and was probably for the best as we were back in the city at a much more convenient time. The translation of our tour-guide was perfect and the communication perfect. I can recommend Royal Tours to anyone planning to visit Auschwitz, the tour itself is something averyone has to come to terms with during and after, this is one of those places on earth that has great historic significance, nonetheless not an easy place to visit.

    Leider war es sehr voll und andere Reiseleiter haben keine Rücksicht drauf genommen (nicht gewartet, sondern einfach dazwischen gerannt). Unsere Reiseleitung war zwar sehr nett (eine Reiseleiterin und Dolmetscherin) aber hat nicht so viele Informationen wie ich mir gewünscht hätte, mitgeteilt . Zeit, sich die Infotafeln durchzulesen, war auch nicht. Gefühlt wurden wir sehr schnell durchgeführt und konnten dem Ort nicht richtig gedenken. Schade. Der Shuttleservice hat aber gut funktioniert. Mglw werden wir nochmals zu einer anderen Jahreszeit hinfahren.
  • Auschwitz-Birkenau: Dive into history

    Departing from Krakow, you'll travel in air-conditioned comfort, soaking in the poignant narrative woven by your licensed guide. Be prepared to step into a haunting epoch of history as you walk through the infamous 'Arbeit Macht Frei' gate into Auschwitz I and traverse the 22 brick barracks that once housed hundreds of thousands of Holocaust victims.

    Unearthing the dark past and ticket options

    Witness the grim realities of the Holocaust as you venture into Block 11, a harrowing prison within the prison, home to torture chambers and the site of the first extermination attempts using Zyklon B gas. The next stop is Auschwitz II-Birkenau, a camp that sprawls over an area 25 times larger than Auschwitz I and stands as a chilling testament to the scale of Nazi atrocities. Your journey culminates in a solemn moment at the Memorial, offering a space to pay respects to the victims of this grim period. Depending on your chosen option, engage with a guide fluent in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, or Polish. This immersive experience comes with comfortable round-trip transfers from Krakow, ensuring a seamless journey.
