Sad but much needed visit - Very insightful tour. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job in talking through the past. It was a lot of walking but well worth the visit to pay respect. We were picked up on time, a very well organized trip. We got through the tickets and security area with ease and had hand held devices with headphones so that we could hear the guide throughout the tour.

Incredible tour, sympathetically put together - Fantastic tour. Michel our driver was incredibly friendly. Picked up directly from our air B&B and dropped back again. The tour itself was well organised and informative. The tour guide provided a great level of information at both locations. Well worth booking

It was a very sad day at Auschwics. - First of all, Michael was 10 minutes early picking us up, which we loved because we were already downstairs. He was super friendly and very informative. He even stopped at two places before the beginning of the tour to actually show us two important sites related to it. Despite the fact that Auschwics is an eerie place to see, it is very important to do so in person. To be a witness of this dark side of history. Thank you, Michael, and your colleague at the museum- Anna?

Great trip, very moving,... - Great trip, very moving, our driver was lovely & our Tour guide was very informative & delivered the Tour of both sites in a very respectful way. We were kept well informed prior to the trip & the pick up & drop off were great locations (we selected hotel pick up). I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this Tour if your thinking of booking.

Great experience. - This was an excellent experience. Our driver picked us up exactly on time and was very knowledgeable and friendly. The guide spoke perfect English and took us to several sites at both Auschwitz and Birkenau. This cannot be an easy job to do every day, but she was polite and answered all questions while remaining upbeat. High recommend.

Auschwitz - Bit rushed couldn't see the things you wanted to see as was continually rushed along - lots of walking which was expected, guide was very grumpy. 2 hour wait to go in - despite purchasing tickets in advance. Worth a visit but the guide was a bit disappointing, seemed passionate, but was clock watching continually and a bit annoying. Really spoiled the day - seems its now very commercial and money making - not quite sure what is commercial about genocide or why it should be? Was expecting more - but the fact that you could get a MacDonalds or a Burger King jus down the road destroyed it for me. Tact -Absolutely none but worth visiting - I expected more, authenticity or caring - just didn't seem so.
