Alles war top organisiert, Infos erfolgte frühzeitig. Kurzfristig wurden wir (einen Tag vorher) informiert, dass die tour nur auf Englisch stattfinden wird, wir aber ein deutssprachiges Buch dazu bekommen. War soweit okay, dennoch wäre mir deutsch deutlich lieber gewesen. Die erforderliche Mindest-TN-Zahl wurde nicht erreicht. Abfahrt war auf die Minute genau, Ankunft ebenfalls. Die Führung durch Ausschwitz selbst war "sehr flott", man wurde fast "gehetzt", allerdings waren auch sehr viele Reisegruppen vor Ort.

The person who collected at Krakow was very professional and did a good job. The guide Anna was also very professional and provided good information. However there seems to be fatigue and she missed out on detailing a few things in birkenau. Aushwitz unlike Majdenak has become over commercialised due to its name and the quantity of tourists, which might be good for your business but not for a visitor who had come to visit with a deep historical and research mindset.

The organization was really great and everything went smoothly. I wish our guide was a bit more enthusiastic and I wish there was a bit more time to spend instead of just running through some blocks. Overall, it was a great experience and can only highly recommend.

    Die Zeitplanung war sehr knapp bemessen,so blieb für Toilettengänge und Birkenau .Der Buchshop hatte beispielsweise nach Ende des Rundgangs schon zu.
