Innanzitutto avevo prenotato la gita in italiano, il giorno prima sono stato avvisato che la gita sarebbe stata in inglese. Avevo prenotato alle 11.30, l unica gita disponibile era alle 6 Avevo richiesto un panino con prosciutto, mi e stato dato del pan carre con marmellata. Avevo richiesto il rientro in hotel, sono stato lasciato a 2 km.

The organization of the whole day is excellent, the only jarring note was that having booked the tour with an Italian guide, we were told two days before that it was no longer available and would be in English. Not a small change. Also, the bus does not take you back to the pickup location but you have to be careful to get off at the right stop.

Really nice museum excellent Italian guide, knowledgeable and kind. It really deserves. Less satisfied with the organization. At 4 p.m. a message arrives that the next day's trip from 9 am is moved to 12 p.m. with change of pickup point. Take it or leave it. Obviously there is no choice we take. The day of the tour At 8 am an email arrives to report at 8:50 am to the pickup point (as per the first version.) Get up in a hurry, try to get answers via tel and via wa. Nothing. Rushing to the pickup point(will it be the first or the second? Boh) we run first to one then to the other. No one knows anything. I then ask a guide from another tour who kindly and willingly explains to me that in any case we must listen to the message via wa and not the one via email. At 10 We return and cross our fingers (from wa and tel still no response) In any case very nice tour but better coordination is appropriate. And more communication possibilities.

Your tour begins with a 60-kilometer journey from Krakow to the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp complex. The imposing gate of Auschwitz stands in harsh contrast to the charming suburbs of Oświęcim. Counted amongst the most ghastly remnants of the Second World War, the Auschwitz-Birkenau prison complex is known for its concentration camps and extermination chambers. Between 1940 and 1944, Auschwitz remained one of the largest and most well-funded camps of the Nazi Party. On this tour, you will accompany an expert guide to explore this solemn reminder of one of history’s darkest periods. Examine the exhibits at the outdoor museum and learn more about the camp and its history from your guide. Passing by the medical experiments block and the brick barracks is a genuinely chilling experience.

Although Birkenau was just one of the 40 or so sub-camps that littered the Auschwitz complex, it quickly became infamous for its gas chambers. It is estimated that nearly a million Jews and prisoners of war were killed in Birkenau. You will spend about an hour at this sub-camp with your guide after visiting Auschwitz I. After a short educational tour of the haunting place, you will meet your driver again and head back to Krakow.
