The guide was knowledgeable and she provided us with an interesting and informative tour. It was disappointing that our tour slot was changed last minute from 11am to 7.40am, meaning that we had no way of getting to the museum. Public transport options would have meant we'd arrive after 7.40am. Your company partner Super Cracow was unable to provide transport to the museum. After I complained they were able to put us on a tour at 12.30. I noticed that the other people on the tour did have a bus back to Krakow, so it was an option, but not offered to us. I enquired about returning with Super Cracow to Krakow but they said it wouldn't be possible.

La visita al camp d'extermini d'Auschwitz-Birkenau ha estat una experiència molt emotiva i molt colpidora, però necessària per prendre consciència de l'horror i la brutalitat de l'èsser humà. Són 3 hores i mitja de visita als dos camps molt ben aprofitades amb una guia polonesa de parla espanyola que ens va donar una informació detallada del què van ser i representar els camps d'extermini i va posar context històric. Un 10 per la guia. Va ser molt fàcil trobar el punt de trobada amb ella per la informació que ens van facilitar contínuament. Molt satisfets amb l'experiència 👏👏👏

El tour fue educativo y mostraba lo principal de toda la historia, lo único que no me gustó fue que al ser muchos había partes que si estabas del último no se escuchaba lo mismo sucedió con el segundo campo al no usar micrófono y en zonas que tenías que estar formado en una línea si no estabas adelante te perdías de toda la explicación. También siento que al ser tantas personas en general muchas veces uno estaba más preocupado de no chocar o poder avanzar para escuchar al guía bien y ver lo que mostraba que de poder escuchar realmente

    La experiencia a un campo de concentración siempre es algo muy duro, pero necesario para conocer nuestra historia. Considerando esto, nuestra guia ha sido muy profesional, pero quizás debería aportar mas emoción a un asunto tan delicado como este y no como si de una máquina se tratase.

    The guide was EXCELLENT. The tour schedule was changed ("due to unforeseen circumstances", as the organization told me via email and WhatsApp) the day before. In addition to that, if I didn't arrive on time I couldn't get my money back (although I hadn't done the schedule change). I finally had to drive all night to get there on time.

    Lo que más nos gustó de la visita fue lo bien organizado que estaba todo y lo bien que lo explicó todo nuestra guía. Muy recomendable.
