It was the cheapest one I could find, they changed the time but it was still within the acceptable range. The guide didn't go as in depth as she could have but she did make sure to let us know everything during the bus. The driver was charming and very funny from the first moment. The guide simply came to give us the explanation in Spanish but I did not understand very well the presence of another guide who had accreditation to guide us but did not know Spanish. Basically we had two guides but only one spoke Spanish and the other had permission to give the explanation which she did not give. That generated a bit of bewilderment and disappointment. But overall the experience was good, at least they didn't cancel it like other families.

For transparency of service and management. Entrance to Auschwitz at the moment is limited (the reason is unknown to us) and therefore to ensure our entry, the agency organized the trip at 1.35 am. .... we waited about 7 hours but we ensured our visit . After talking to other French people, several of them were "misled" by agencies and were unable to visit. This explains my comment: a transparent, responsible agency that was able to guarantee us service even though the conditions were more than unusual. Room for improvement: blankets, coffee and better organization for the compulsory wait to guarantee entry.

The small bus picked us up at the scheduled time. The 1.5 hour transfer was comfortable and our driver was a safe driver! Our guide on the bus provided information on the way to the two camps and guided us through the two concentration camps. He provided a lot of information about how the initial selection process occurred, their daily life of misery, torture, medical experimention, starvation, abuse and death from the conditions, gun executions, hanging, and the gas chambers were for Jewish men, women, and children. We also saw the furnaces in Auschwitz were so many victims were cremated in a vain attempt to hide their crimes. It was a somber, heart wrenching day that I will never forget.

    The experience itself is touching,the guide Ursula super knowledgeable and explains very well and answers every doubt or question you ask.I don't give 5 stars for the bad organization,the tour was for 6 a.m. so you could have half a day free,instead the day before it was moved to 12:30 p.m. so you had to change all the daily plans one made.Also I recommend the tour operator to write down the license plate number or bus number as at the same stop every 5 minutes a bus was coming to the same place and so I had to ask their guide if I was on their tour or not.

    In this place needs no words, a place where you can breathe heavy air, and as the guide explains and shows the camp you realize the drama that thousands of innocent people have experienced, in my head one thought, how can a man do these things, of course there is no explanation, but today I wonder what have we not understood? Why do we continue to wage useless wars, why do we continue to kill each other? An answer will never be found, but from the bottom of my heart I always wish for a world at peace.

    Very good planning. The guided tour was directly related to the main objectives of the concentration camp in Awshiwtz, which was achieved. But, in my humble opinion, it could include some details about those who were persecuted by Nazi. For instance , Jehovah's Witnesses. In the Holocaust memorial museum in Washington DC they received more spotlight by the importance of their act of courage.

    Everything went perfectly. There was a schedule change for the departure from Krakow, but we were informed the day before. As I knew it was coming, I hadn't planned anything else for the day. The bus was perfectly on time. The guide on the bus was perfect, and his explanations in English were easy to understand. When we arrived at the site, we met up with a French-speaking guide who took us through the history. Back to Krakow where we were picked up.

    We were picked up at the designated point and on time. Our guide was waiting for us and gave us a very interesting tour. She listened and answered all our questions - a very involved and friendly guide. Our day was well organized and there were no surprises.
