Great Tour - Trip was really interesting and eye opening, a must do in krakow. this tour is self guided, so is a good idea if you would rather walk around by yourself and take in the silence rather than gathering in large groups. Also good if you dont want it to take up the full day, we had an adequate amount of time in each camp and still had time to enjoy our evening once we got home. Highly recommend!

Brilliant !! - We were picked up on time, brought straight to Auschwitz, ticketing was super quick. The operator Martin was very informative and professional. It’s extremely good value for money and well worth the trip. I’m coming back again in a few months and I’ll do this trip again. Highly recommend.

This trip does not allow you to queue jump - Communication prior to our trip was good and we were met promptly at the arranged pick-up point. Travel to Auschwitz took an hour and 10 minutes. Upon arrival we were directed to join the main queue which took over 2.5 hours to get to the kiosk where our ID documents were checked. I'm not sure if that is the normal situation, or if it was just a very busy day. We were then directed back to the bus to be transferred to Birkenau. This was delayed by the distribution of the guidebooks in the various language represented on the bus. It would have been significantly more efficient to have issued these as we boarded the bus at the start of the day. We were allowed 1.5 hours at Birkenau, then back on the bus to Auschwitz 1 where we had an hour. Return travel to Krakow took 2 hours Staff on the trip were very friendly, however I think it could have been better organised.

Don’t bother with this trip - Awful experience queuing 3 hours just to get a ticket and then had to return 2 hours later to go in If you book this trip with someone else make sure you have a ticket this is just for a transfer
