This was a very interesting tour. Not much remains of the camp therefore it is much quieter than other sites but still worth a visit. There are lots of plaques and information/picture boards around the site and our guide did an excellent job describing how the camp was laid out. A lot of the paths are gravel so wear sturdy footwear or trainers. There is just one shop between the tram stop and the start of the camp tour but nothing after that. Take plenty of water!

Good visit to camp. Disappointed some aspects not covered, like the ghetto and filming locations for Schindler’s list.

Aunque quedan pocos vestigios del campo de concentración, la visita resultó muy interesante gracias al entusiasmo , conocimientos y simpatía de nuestro guía, que supo hacernos ver de forma muy amena todo lo que lamentablemente ocurrió en este lugar.

El tour es increible, lo recomendamos 100% si visitais Cracovia. Nuestro guia explicó todo estupendamente, nos hacía participes y resolvia nuestras dudas amablemente. Aparte, nos recomendó varias cosas y mandó información interesante para completar el tour. Nos salvó el viaje. Teníamos reservado auschwitz y minas y nos lo cancelaron horas antes. Nos facilitó un contacto que nos resolvio el problema. Estamos muy agradecidos. Es muy amable y atento. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour is incredible, we highly recommend it if you visit Krakow. Our guide explained everything wonderfully, kept us engaged, and kindly answered our questions. He also recommended several things to do and sent us interesting information to complete the tour. He saved our trip. We had Auschwitz and the mines booked, but they were canceled hours before. He gave us a contact who solved the problem. We are very grateful. He is very kind and attentive. Opinion translated. Show original.

Visita 100% recomendable para hacer una mayor inmersión , sin prisas, colas, ni gente a otro capítulo trágico de la historia de la humanidad. Sin ser, ni pretender, ser tan espectacular como Austwich, puedes interiorizar mucho mejor el drama humano y la comprensión de lo que allí sucedió. Se trata de un museo al aire libre, gratuito que se complementa con la visita a los restos ( pocos) del set de rodaje situado en la cantera de la pelicula La lista de Shindler. Visita imprescindible realizarla con guia o no cumplirá en absoluto las expectativas. En nuestro caso el guía, que destila sabiduría y muy entregado antes, durante y despues de la visita. Un crack Translate this opinion into English.

A highly recommended visit for a deeper immersion, without rushing, queuing, or crowds, into another tragic chapter in human history. While it isn't, nor does it claim to be, as spectacular as Auschwitz, you can better understand the human drama and understand what happened there. It's a free open-air museum that complements a visit to the (few) remains of the film set located in the quarry from the movie Schindler's List. It's essential to take this tour with a guide, otherwise it won't meet expectations at all. In our case, the guide, who exudes wisdom and was very dedicated before, during, and after the visit. A genius. Opinion translated. Show original.

Tuvimos un pedazo de guía, nos dió una explicación detallada sobre el propio campo de concentración, hoy parque museo, del que no queda apenas nada, pero que merece totalmente la pena visitar, ya que hay memoriales y otros detalles que gracias a guias como el que tuvimos, te haces casi a la idea de visitar un campo en pié. Gracias!! Translate this opinion into English.

We had a wonderful guide. He gave us a detailed explanation of the concentration camp itself, now a museum park, of which almost nothing remains, but which is absolutely worth visiting. There are memorials and other details, and thanks to guides like the one we had, you almost get the idea of visiting a camp on foot. Thank you! Opinion translated. Show original.

En primer lugar agradecer al guía por sus grandes conocimientos. En segundo lugar, nos gustaría recomendar este tour a todo viajero al que le interese la historia, ya que Plaszów no es tan conocido con Auswitch pero sus historias también deben ser contadas. Por último todo aquél al que le guste la película tiene una cita pendiente con este tour ya que se visitan muchos de sus escenarios y nos acerca a sus personajes desde una perspectiva más real, porque lo real siempre supera la ficción. Translate this opinion into English.

First, we would like to thank the guide for his vast knowledge. Second, we would like to recommend this tour to any traveler interested in history, as Plaszów is not as well-known as Auschwitz, but its stories also deserve to be told. Finally, anyone who enjoys the film must take this tour, as it visits many of its locations and brings us closer to its characters from a more realistic perspective, because reality is always stranger than fiction.

La excursión es muy chula y muy informativa, tuvimos un guía de 10 que cuenta con pasión todo , además te enseña fotos de los lugares y todo super bien preparado. Ahora eso sí hay que andar muchísimo, por mitad de un bosque , en nuestro caso lloviendo y la excursión acaba durando quizás demasiado. Pero merece la pena Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was very cool and informative. We had a 10-point guide who passionately explained everything, showed us photos of the places, and was very well-prepared. However, there was a lot of walking involved, through the middle of a forest. In our case, it was raining, and the tour ended up lasting perhaps too long. But it was worth it. Opinion translated.

A pesar de encontrarnos con un día complicado en el sentido meteorológico hemos pasado una mañana muy amena, distendida y donde hemos aprendido muchísimo gracias al guía. Es un guía estupendo que además de ponernos en el contexto social e histórico del tour nos ha prestado ayuda para el resto de nuestro viaje en Cracovia. Recomendamos muchísimo el tour. Gracias por todo. Translate this opinion into English.

Despite a difficult day weather-wise, we had a very enjoyable and relaxing morning, where we learned a lot thanks to our guide. He's a wonderful guide who, in addition to providing us with the social and historical context of the tour, also helped us prepare for the rest of our trip to Krakow. We highly recommend the tour.

Pensábamos realizar esta actividad por nuestra cuenta, pero ha resultado todo un acierto realizarla con Civitatis. Ha sido un tour prácticamente “privado” solo 3 familias. Nuestro guía estupendo, muy profesional, con grandes conocimientos de la historia y muy muy amable. Ha sido una visita diferente, por un lugar de la historia de Cracovia que pocxs turistas conocen. Totalmente recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

We were planning to do this activity on our own, but it turned out to be a great idea to book it with Civitatis. It was a practically "private" tour for just three families. Our guide was fantastic, very professional, with a wealth of historical knowledge, and very, very friendly. It was a unique visit, to a place in Krakow's history that few tourists know about. Highly recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.

Un verdadero placer realizar este tour con el guía. Fuimos las dos únicas personas del grupo por lo que tuvimos un tour 100% personalizado. Nos resolvió todas y cada una de las preguntas y además, nos contó un montón de curiosidades. El tour de Plaszow no deja indiferente a nadie. Una historia que debe ser recordada en la propia Cracovia. Translate this opinion into English.

It was a true pleasure to take this tour with the guide. We were the only two people in the group, so we had a completely personalized tour. He answered every one of our questions and also shared a ton of interesting facts. The Plaszow tour will leave no one indifferent. A story that should be remembered in Krakow itself.

De las mejores excursiones en Cracovia. El guía es excelente. Absolutamente toda la información y experiencia. Nos contó la historia con lujo de detalles, fotos, todo, incluso hasta envió por WhatsApp mas información, videos y entrevistas para complementar la visita. El lugar es impactante, sobre todo porque es público e incluso hay gente viviendo ahí. Lo cual es inentendible. Translate this opinion into English.

One of the best excursions in Krakow. The guide is excellent. Absolutely all the information and experience. He told us the story in great detail, photos, everything, he even sent more information, videos and interviews via WhatsApp to complement the visit. The place is shocking, especially because it is public and there are even people living there. Which is ununderstandable. Opinion translated. Show original.

Fantástica excursión cargada de historia de una forma muy dinámica y participativa de la mano del guía. Puede parecer poco apetecible, pero fue la mejor actividad que realizamos en Cracovia. Un viaje a los entresijos de un campo de concentración que "aparantemente" pasa desapercibido. No podéis iros sin hacerla. Mil gracias Marina y Fernando Translate this opinion into English.

A fantastic excursion steeped in history in a very dynamic and engaging way, guided by the guide. It may seem unappealing, but it was the best activity we did in Krakow. A trip into the inner workings of a concentration camp that "seemingly" goes unnoticed. You can't leave without doing it. Thank you so much, Marina and Fernando. Opinion translated. Show original.
