Itinerary

Day 1 - Travel to Poland

We depart Dublin on our direct flight to Krakow. On arrival you will be met by our tour leader and then you will be transferred by coach to our hotel in Krakow City. We are based here for the 3 Nights. This hotel is in the Old Town. It is close to everything: the Market Square, Wawel, Kazimierz, and the best restaurants are literally at your fingertips. After we have checked into our rooms we will then meet in the lobby and go on a short walking tour of Krakow.

Day 2 - Auschwitz-Birenau

After breakfast we will be picked up and brought to Auschwitz-Birkenau for our private guided tour. Auschwitz-Birkenau is a poignant journey through one of history's darkest chapters. Guided by knowledgeable narrators, visitors explore Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau, witnessing the haunting remnants of the Holocaust. The tour delves into the unimaginable suffering endured by millions as you are led past the prisoner barracks, gas chambers, and crematoria. The vastness of Birkenau's "Gate of Death" leaves a lasting impact as it should while commemorating the lives tragically lost. This sombre experience imparts the importance of remembrance, compassion, and tolerance, encouraging visitors to honour the victims' memory and strive for a world where such atrocities never recur. It serves as a powerful reminder to embrace humanity and unity.

After the tour late afternoon you will be dropped back to the hotel. You have the evening free to explore Krakow at your own pace and enjoy the city. Perhaps you’ll revisit some highlights from Day 1 or ‘get lost’ and see where the cobblestones lead you.

Day 3 - Day at Leisure

Today you have the time and freedom to continue your adventure in Krakow. Make sure to get to Schindler’s Factory, Wawel Castle and Cathedral and Market square. There’s a lot to see and not as much time as you need to see it all!
If you’re looking to venture a little further afield than the city, then we can offer you an optional excursion to the Wieliczka Salt Mines.
The mines are located not far from the city and offer a captivating underground adventure. This UNESCO World Heritage site attracts visitors with its awe-inspiring salt-carved chambers, tunnels, and sculptures. Descending into the depths, you'll encounter breathtaking salt lakes, intricately chiselled salt statues, and impressive underground chapels adorned with salt crystals. The mines' history dates back over 700 years, and the tour provides fascinating insights into the salt mining industry and the miners' lives. A highlight is the magnificent Chapel of St. Kinga, an underground marvel entirely sculpted from salt. The Wieliczka Salt Mines promise an unforgettable journey into the subterranean wonders of the past. Your tour will take approximately 3 hours after which you will be transferred back to the hotel.
