The experience

The tour starts at your hotel or apartment in Krakow. A driver picks you up in a private sedan or minivan, handles the drive to Auschwitz, and stays with you for the full day. You don't arrange separate transport or navigate between the two camp sites. The price covers fuel, parking, insurance and the driver's time.

Once at Auschwitz, an English-speaking guide leads the group through the camp and then to Birkenau, where the tour of the second site takes about an hour. The guide is licensed and speaks English throughout. You move at the pace the guide sets, stopping at the key structures and learning the history as you walk. The museum entry is included in your booking.

After Birkenau, the driver takes you back to your starting point in Krakow. The whole day runs seven hours from pickup to return. Groups are capped at 30 people, so you're not in a massive crowd, and the private transport means you're not waiting for a shared bus or coordinating with strangers on timing.

• Door-to-door private transport in a sedan or minivan from Krakow.
