A must do - From start to finish this was a wonderful and at the same time humbling experiences Fantastic communication from Cracow tours , txt messages to confirm time and location of meet prior to travel . We were greeted by driver Max who couldn’t do enough for us during the whole trip . His efforts at the site were fantastic locating or guide and our tour group . Be warned it can seem chaotic at the site so best go with an experienced guide and as part of a tour rather than flying solo . I don’t want to go into too much detail as the experience is a very personal one , other than to say that our tour guide guide Jacob was so knowledgable and carried the whole tour through with great dignity Choose Cracow Tours and a guided tour and you won’t go wrong

Auschwitz & Birkenau memorial tour - We booked through trip advisor who connected us with local tour group hello Cracow they kept us well informed provided us with door to door collection and for a small additional fee provided a superb packed lunch.our guide Michal was very friendly and knowledgeable stopping to answer questions and fill in historical facts , as you can imagine the tour is very emotional to visit take as many pictures as you can. I would say a must see memorial .

Extremely well organised tour - Extremely well organised tour 'Hello Cracow' were very communicative regarding bus pick up times, locations and lunch. I wont review the memorial as it doesn't need it, but the guide we had was excellent. Very clear and informative. He had personally been affected by the atrocities as his grandfather was in the camp as an interpreter which meant he brought strong and very real views to his tour. We toyed with just going without a guide, but I am glad we chose to do it this way as I think we would have missed important details without it. Thank you.

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.

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.
