The pick up and drop of from the hotel was spot on. The minibus was comfy and clean, the driver was polite. When booking the tickets we selected 08:10 pick up.09:30 was the arrival time. 11:15 arrival. Tour started at 11:30, and where completed by 1525. The lady tour guide was very quiet, didn't matter so much around first tour as we had headphones and she had a mic, but part 2 she didn't have these and was hard to hear. Throughout the whole first part we where constantly being chased by other tour groups and that interfered with our interactions. Just too many tours doing same route.

An unparalleled experience, there are no words to describe everything we saw, what they taught us, what they told us, and everything was always done with immense respect, which you could feel in that place... that energy, that sorrow... But thanks to our guide "Reina" for explaining it with such calm and respect. And for going at this time of year... in this cold, we can get an idea of what they must have suffered in those ragged clothes and wooden shoes at -30º at that time of year.

It was truly a truly unique, memorable, uplifting and profound experience. I will recommend it to everyone. The information we received was complete, questions were answered and the guide was with us at all times. The only minus was that the booking time was changed and we were notified the day before. We had a hard time fitting in, but everything was ok in the end. I recommend in the future to try to communicate at least 2 days before the schedule change possibly in advance with both parties agreeing to the change...as this can avoid further risks. It was well worth the time and everything. It was exoerienta!

Walking through the buildings, seeing the barracks, the ruins, and the personal belongings left behind, made the history feel painfully real. The guide explained the events with respect and clarity, honoring the memory of the millions of innocent people who suffered and lost their lives. It was a very sad story, but also an essential one that must never be forgotten.

Was a whole day tour - picked up at 5.30am and got home around 7.00pm - but was worth it. The group leader, Peter, was great. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend if you're not shy of an early morning and a very long day!

Well orgainised from pick up to drop off. The guide gave a very detailed brief, as we set off, on the day and the strict timings that had to be followed to ensure we kept to the schedule. There was enough time and consideration given for comfort breaks throughout the day . All of the various guides spoke very good English and took time to answer questions. The guide we had for Auschwitz spoke with a lot of emotion and knowledge which ensured the exprience was engraved in our minds. The salt mines were a great way to round the day off with a totally different experience.

Without a doubt, the most remarkable experience of all the visits I've ever had. The story is told in detail by people who know it intimately, and most impressively, exactly where it all happened. It's incredible, extremely sad, but the visit is absolutely worth it!
