Details

Day 1: Upon arrival in Munich, you are greeted at the airport and brought to our hotel. There is an introduction to the tour and a chance to get acquainted over a welcome drink.

Day 2: In the morning we visit the infamous Dachau camp, which now features a full-scale museum detailing Nazi atrocities. In the afternoon we take a Third Reich sightseeing tour. You experience Munich as the birthplace of the Nazi Party, with visits to the official Nazi Headquarters, the location of the Beer Hall Putsch street battle, and much more.

Day 3: Day 3 starts with a trip to Berchtesgaden, sight of Hitler’s Bavarian retreat, the Eagle’s Nest. We start with a visit to Dokumentation Obersalzberg, an exhibit that explores the rise and fall of the third Reich. Prepared by the German Institute of Contemporary History, the museum is set atop Hitler’s elaborate bunker complex, which is also a must-see.

Day 4: Day 4 involves travel to the beautiful city of Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. Along the way we show you the Oscar winning movie Schindler’s List, Steven Spielberg’s award-winning film about the Holocaust in central Europe. After settling into our hotel in Prague, we take a walking tour of Josefov, the Jewish quarter of Prague that includes the famous Jewish cemetery.

Day 5: The fifth day of our tour will bring us to the small Czech town of Terezin. A former Nazi concentration camp used as a propaganda tool by the Nazi in order to dispel rumors about the extermination camps. More than 80,000 Jews died here at the hands of the Nazis. In the afternoon we will return to Prague to enjoy a walking tour of this beautiful capital.

Day 6: After a good night’s sleep, the group will travel through the Czech and Polish countryside on our way to the beautiful city of Krakow, one of Poland’s most historic and scenic cities. We will be arriving at our hotel in the late afternoon, with the rest of the day free to explore the city or rest up for the next day’s busy schedule.

Day 7: We start the day with a walking tour of this city that was the Polish capital for more than 500 years. Among the sites on our tour are the beautiful Royal Castle and the Renaissance Cloth Hall. After lunch in Krakow, the coach takes us to the breathtaking Wieliczka Salt Mines, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lying on nine levels and concealed under the town, the mine reaches down to the depth of 327 meters (1,073 ft). The site consists of nearly 300 kilometers (186 miles) of corridors and almost 3,000 chambers.

Day 8: Our last day in Poland will take us to the infamous concentration camp of Auschwitz. Birkenau, Auschwitz’s notorious extermination camp, accounted for the death of more than a million Jews, Roma, POWs and political opponents from across Europe, and stands as a testament to the 20th Century’s greatest atrocity. The day’s events include a visit to the labor camp and its piles of personal possessions stripped from the camp’s prisoners, followed by a trip to the reconstructed horrors of Birkenau.

Day 9: The ninth day of our tour brings us to the capital of Hungary — Budapest — the heart of Central Europe. The journey takes us through the majestic Tatra Mountains of Slovakia. After check-in and dinner, the coach takes us up Gellért Hill to the city’s Citadel for a beautiful view of Budapest by night.

Day 10: We start the day with a walking tour of the Jewish district, which includes a visit to the Dohány Synagogue, which is the largest synagogue in Europe and second largest in the world. After lunch, we will continue our sightseeing tour of Pest by bus, further exploring this capital and all of its cultural splendors. The evening features a farewell dinner at a Hungarian restaurant.
