Extra Information

Extras -
We always suggest to visit Auschwitz and Birkenau on a full day tour which begins in Cracow. Before driving to Auschwitz and Birkenau we make an introductory visit to the Cracow Ghetto, Schinlder’s Factory and Plaszow Camp territory. These 2 hours spent in the morning in Cracow help to understand the fate of Polish Jews and prepare for the more complete visit to Auschwitz and Birkanau. Additionally, this makes us start in Auschwitz Museum around noon so after all the mass bus tours which come in the morning. In this way we are not distracted by the crowds of people.



Starting at noon leaves us a lot of time to explore Auschwitz and Birkenau calmly. If time allows, we try to visit also the only remaining synagogue in the city of Oswiecim /Auschwitz with its little museum devoted to life in Shtetl.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
