Krakow Psychology & Sociology School Trips

We use well-located, school-friendly hotels in Krakow, all vetted under our TourTrust safety system. Students are accommodated in multi-bedded rooms, with teachers in twins or singles. All hotels offer breakfast and evening meals and are within easy reach of the main city sights.

Yes. Your trip can be fully tailored depending on your subject focus and trip duration. Additional visits, such as the Wieliczka Salt Mines or Wawel Castle, can easily be added to your itinerary. We also have groups often combining subject areas, such as Krakow Business Studies school trips, to make the most of your Krakow trip.

Yes. All Adaptable Travel tours are half board as standard, meaning breakfast and a two-course evening meal are included each day. Lunches are not included, allowing flexibility for your group to eat locally or take packed lunches arranged through your hotel.

Yes. A guided walking tour of the Jewish Quarter and Schindler’s Route is typically included, along with visits to the Galicia Jewish Museum and Wawel Castle. Local guides are used throughout to enhance the educational value and provide historical accuracy.

All Krakow school trips include free access to our “Project Krakow” teacher and student resources. These pre- and post-visit materials help students reflect on what they’ve learned and make strong curriculum links to their studies.

We can also support you in answering questions your SLT may have related to the trip. Take a look at our SLT resources now.

Our guide price includes:

• Return flights to Krakow
• Airport transfers
• Half-board accommodation
• A detailed itinerary featuring key visits such as Auschwitz-Birkenau, Schindler’s Factory, and the Jewish Quarter. 

Prices vary depending on your group size, travel dates, and any optional activities chosen. All inclusions are clearly itemised in your quote to ensure full transparency.

Every element of your trip is fully risk-assessed through our TourTrust system. You’ll receive comprehensive safety documentation covering accommodation risk assessmebts and 24-hour emergency support throughout your stay.

We can also offer support with documentation that your SLT may need to help sign the trip off internally.

Evenings are usually relaxed after full days of study visits. Options include a group meal in the Old Town, a cultural evening, or a reflective discussion session back at your accommodation. Some schools also include an evening ghost walk for context on Krakow’s medieval past. We will always include evening meals for your school trip to Krakow, so you know students are fed.

This trip gives students a profound and respectful understanding of a number of key history and religious education topics, including:

• Holocaust and World War II history.
• Jewish persecution

Through guided visits to Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Jewish Quarter, and Schindler’s Factory, students can explore the impact of Nazi occupation, Jewish persecution, and the resilience of Krakow’s community. It is a powerful experience that supports GCSE and A-Level history, RS, and citizenship studies.

Your group will take part in a full-day guided tour of Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau with an official local guide. The visit includes headsets to ensure all students can hear the commentary clearly. The tour provides historical context while maintaining a respectful tone throughout.

Where possible, we arrange for groups to meet a Holocaust survivor or a relative at the Galicia Jewish Museum. Availability varies, so this is confirmed at the time of booking.

The Auschwitz-Birkenau visit is deeply moving and may be challenging for some students. We recommend it for Key Stage 4 and above, though individual schools can decide based on their students’ maturity and emotional readiness. Teachers will receive guidance and resources to help prepare students before and after the visit.
