Our friendly team and guide will be with you the whole time, making sure you feel comfortable and well taken care of until your unforgettable journey through history begins. The whole tour is divided into two parts, Auschwitz I and Birkenau, located 3 km away from the first camp. Transfer between camps is provided by the tour operator; the tour leader will inform the group about the exact program and timing. Museum Visit Firstly, visit the Auschwitz I memorial site for approximately. 2h with the accompaniment of a professional guide through the whole camp.
