True horror brought to life - The tour was excellent, from the informative video on the way to Auschwitz to the well informed tour guide who gave a very insightful glimpse into the horror that was the holocaust......something that should not be missed by anyone.

Everyone should go and see this - Excellent tour guide who was very knowledgeable. I was pleased that they treated the camps as memorials and not tourist attractions

Never to be forgotten - Second time on this tour for me but first for my grand children and still very moving and emotional. Glad that I brought my 13 and 11 year grandchildren so they can pass on what they learnt and seen.

Great tour but... - The communication before hand was good. Pick up was on time and 5 mins walk from our hotel. The tour and tour guide were great and would recommend. However we found the minibus extremely uncomfortable. I was sat on the back row with my mother and father, there was no leg room. There was one more seat in the row and someone did occupy it. Basically we literally couldn't move for 1hr 30mins each way. This was uncomfortable as I am quite tall. It was a 7hr day and the only time we were given for a break was 25min at the first camp this is the only place you can have something to eat and drink as it is not permitted on the bus. All this being said we did enjoy the tour and glad we did it.
