Additional Information

Join us on this intimate tour for a chilling insight into the biggest concentration and extermination camp used by the Nazis, where over 1.1 million humans perished. Renowned globally as an emblem of terror, genocide and the Holocaust, you will have an opportunity to traverse through barracks that housed prisoners in inhuman conditions and view their personal effects. Acquaint yourself with the heart-wrenching history of this location - a history that should never fade from memory.

Essential information such as full names of all participants and their nationality is required for procuring the entry passes to the Auschwitz Birkenau Memorial. The entry passes cost 30 euros per person, a fee included in the overall tour rate, and these are non-refundable.

It’s important to know that outside guides are prohibited from guiding inside the camps. Therefore, you’ll need to be part of a group tour inside Auschwitz. Our guide will narrate the history and address any queries you may have during the drive to Auschwitz.

Auschwitz Tour with Petr 100% Recommended - We took this tour early May with Petr and can't speak highly enough of both Petr and Lucy Tours. From the time of booking communication was prompt and everything ran like clockwork on the day. The vehicle provided was extremely clean and comfortable and chatting with Petr made the 4-5 hr drives fly by. Petr is an outstanding guide and a very kind man who went the extra mile to assist when I felt unwell. He is very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions, and we thoroughly enjoyed talking with him. A visit to Auschwitz is a sobering experience but absolutely worthwhile.

Incredible and impactful experience - Trip was amazing and incredibly impactful. My driver Petr arrived early for a 0400am trip to Auschwitz. He was ver accommodating and vehicle was perfect for the nearly 4.5 hour drive to and from the memorial. He was extremely informative and greatly appreciated his onsite on the trip there and ability to answer all my questions on my return. Auschwitz was beyond my expectations and a place many should visit. The tour was very informative and at a good pace. You will see things that will forever change you

A long but very meaningful day. - We knew this would be a long day, but Petr, our driver and guide made the drive seem much shorter than expected. Petr was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of each of countries in the region, the history of the two world wars, and their aftermath. He also had provide translation during the actual tour. All went smoothly, and the impact of the experience was meaningful and will be with us for life. Thanks for the great experience.

Memorable and just unbelievable - Petr was great! He had an immense amount of knowledge and prepared us for the day. I would recommend this trip and Petr as your guide. His driving was super and he was concerned about how we felt. Highly recommend this tour with Petr.

Awesome tour! - Wonderful tour! Jan was our tour guide. He was knowledgeable, helpful and kind. It was a snowy day and he made us feel safe the whole trip! He was very accommodating to our needs on a very long day tour. The Auschwitz memorial was such a great experience and everyone should do it at least once!

This tour will leave you speechless! - First let me just say our guide Petr is awesome!! He does such a great job you’ll feel like old friends at the end. The drive was long but actually felt like two hours because of the beautiful drive along with the great information Petr gives you along the way. We completely recommend this tour even though it’s expensive it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity that is totally worth it! The two camps you visit are so touching to walk through! Stop thinking and book now!! And don’t forget to ask for Petr!

Everyone needs to visit? No bear witness to Auschwitz so we never repeat - Auschwitz was incredible and vey sobering g. Our driver was awesome. The tour was very informative. We started our tour in Prague, which made for a long day, but well worth the time. We enjoyed the drive and seeing the polish countryside

Go for the Museum but be Mindful of Safety with Driver - Family of 4. We were picked up a little before 04:00 by Michal and given 1 bottle of water each. The drive to Auschwitz wasn't good overall because he was speeding up to 145km/hr in many instances. The drive back was worse since it also rained and the speeding kept on (up to 150km/hr). The description of this "private guided tour" is misleading as the only private thing was the drive. There was no information on Prague as other reviewers experienced with another driver, nor was there a private tour at the museum. They buy your museum tickets once you get to Auschwitz. We got there at 08:30 and the next available walking tour for our language (with a guide from the museum that walks a group of ~15-20 people) was at 10:45. Over 2 hours waiting at the outside part of the museum with very little seating available and only vending machines for food and drinks. The actual museum tour guide was phenomenal and made the experience as best as possible given the circumstances of the location and history. The entrance for 4 people was around $102 and was paid by LucyTours (from the over USD $1,200 we had already pre-paid). I wanted someone else to drive us so we could rest on they way there and back. But having experienced a rollercoaster of emotions during the drive, I would just rent a car and drive my family there myself as none of us got to rest. We would have saved a lot of money and would have felt much safer during the drive. I will add that Michal was always cordial and nice, but his driving was way too fast with continuous speeding, zig zagging, not being mindful during the rain, etc. In conclusion, go to the museum but ask who your driver will be first. I wouldn't have written this extensive review if I weren't seriously worried about the safety of others.

Worst experience ever - It was horrible, we drove 5.5 hours and could not get tickets once we got there. We were so disappointed.
