A Must - Most have heard of the inhumane atrocities committed by the Nazis. This tour will actually show the extend of the crimes. Highly emotional. The Salt Mine part of the tour was quite impressive. Be prepared for a long walk.

Very happy with the tour, thank you Daniel - Daniel was very kind, funny and considerate with our needs. He also answered all our questions and repeated the information as many times as neccesary. He was very organized too. Very complete tour, you have to keep in mind that you will end tired because there are so many hours walking, but it is worth It. Thank you Daniel and your team!! -Sofia, Eugenio and Victoria.

Powerful and Informative - Auschwitz Birkenau was a very somber but powerful and impactful tour. Our guide upon arrival at Auschwitz, Joanna, was knowledgeable and provided us with an incredible amount of information. She was with us at Auschwitz and also at the second portion, Birkenau. It is not for the faint of heart, but it is an important tour that will stay with you. The salt mine was fascinating and was very informative. Ironically, our guide there was also named Joanna and she was great. 😊 I recommend this tour 100 times over.

Great trip - long day but worth it - It was a relatively long day visiting all three sites but it was well worth it. Daniel managed to get us there early to enable seeing all three sites. The unexpected gen was the trip to the store mine - I am glad that I opted for it.

Good shoes, grocery bag and backpack left in the bus. - Expect them to change the pick-up time and location if you booked a pick-up at your hotel. I booked 8.30am pickup at my hotel. It was 6:05 a.m. at a recovery point. Deta was only positive when I then understood that it is several hours bus ride. Better go early and sleep a while in the bus and come home and get the evening free. Bring water, and food that can stay in the bus. I had ordered lunch, and it was a bag of sandwiches, an apple, chocolate and a bottle of water. You can't carry a backpack into Auschwitz. But it is quite ok to fill a backpack with food, coffee and everything you might need and then leave it in the bus. You'll enjoy it. Put on really good shoes, you'll walk about 16,000 steps. But with the possibility of rest and recovery in transport. I felt very well taken care of and safe both before, during and after the adventure. Highly recommended!

One day, two sites. - To visit both sites on one day is a good idea but it's a long day and sometimes you have to wait a long time. Emily, our tour guide for the day was very understanding and cheerful.

Sombre experience at Aushwitz and a revelation at Salt Mine - We had booked the tour well in advance. We were picked up from the common pick up point near the railway station. The pick up was dot on time. We first went to Auschwitz. The tour took 1 hour and 15 minutes. The Birkenau camp was four minutes away and the tour took less than 45 minutes. We started the tour at Aushwitz at 0930 and finished with Birkenau also by 1150. We started for the Salt Mine and reached there at 1410. The next tour was at 1600. So, had to while away time at location and visited the Graduation Tower, which was good. The Salt mine tour took about two hours and was well worth it. Daniel was a good host and took care of the tour pretty well.
