Devastatingly sad, but incredibly interesting and emotional. Excellent and knowledgeable tour guide Anna, gave us a comprehensive account of the camp and its history.

Michal our driver was excellent, punctual and friendly. He made the day run very smoothly from start to finish.
Auschwitz-Birkenau was a very moving experience, but well worth a visit.

Easy pick up with no issues. We got driven to the first camp where we met our guide who gave us a very in depth and harrowing account of the events at the concentration camp. A moving experience that everyone need to do when in southern Poland.

We were a party of 4 in Krakow for 4 nights and one of the main reasons for going was to visit Auschwitz. To ensure we got on a trip we booked the tour well in advance of our visit (19th Feb for a visit on 17th April). Everything was fine till 4pm on the 16th April when we got a message saying the tour was cancelled due to lack of translators. As the trip was cancelled very late on the day before we were going there was no chance to book an alternative which spoiled our trip as we could not get to see the camp. I find it difficult to accept the cancellation was due to lack of translators as surely if this was the case this would have been know well before 4pm on the day before we went.
I think it is more likely that it was cancelled due to a lack of interest.

Listening to the guide stories , viewing exhibits, and walking the path in Berkineau, make experience very real.

Driver Mikel was really friendly and polite.
Can’t remember the tour guides name but she was really approachable and showed good knowledge on the tour while be respectful to the sensitivity of the subject.
