Additional Information
Inaugurated in 1940, Auschwitz was the Nazi’s largest concentration camp for Polish and other international captives. Prisoners were subject to the brutalities of Hitlerian fascism such as forced isolation, planned extermination through starvation, strenuous labor, cruel experimenting, and sudden mortality due to individual or mass killings. It is undoubtedly a place of significant importance to visit.

Brilliant,informative tour. - Our tour guides Camilla and Barbara were wonderful. Theor knowledge was extensive and they answered plenty of questions. The tour is extensive but some parts were missed due to parts being under conservation,but it didn't hinder the tour at all. Very much recommended,visiting here should be on the school curriculum everywhere at least once. Thankyou Camilla and Barbara!

A well run and hassle free trip. - This is really an excellent tour. As promised, we were contacted by our guide Igor the day before our visit to arrange a pick up time and with an offer of providing lunch the following day. I'd recommend that you would avail of this offer. There's nowhere at Auschwitz or Birkenau to get refreshments so it was great to finish our first tour and be handed our lovely fresh lunch. Igor picked us up at our hotel at about 7.30am and we were back at about 2.30. He stayed with us until we got through security in Auschwitz and was waiting on us with our lunches at the end of the tour. You only get about 15mins to eat and get back on the bus before heading off to Birkenau. Inside Auschwitz we had a very knowledgeable guide called Michal. Considering the volume of people there, the tour runs very well and there's little queuing. This tour is a must if you're in Krakow and I've nothing but good things to say about both Igor and Michal, our two guides.

Only with evil thought can we discover all the good that can be done for people. - A certain expectation always prevails to visit this place that is preceded by a hellish fame, it is advisable to approach evil, to discover all the good that can be done with our world.
The visit is rhetorical if you have seen other fields comp was my case, curious as the 5 tons of Human Hair, the room of the suitcases, the tokens of the victims. Let's see it.

Excellent transport and guide. - Transport was excellent and very informative guide. Sobering place and well organised.
My only critique is that it was quite quick paced. If I go back, I’d opt for the longer tour to be able to absorb more.
