Après 2 annulations, j'ai enfin pu profiter d'une visite guidée en Français. Je désespérais ! Lieu du point de rencontre très mal indiqué sur le billet ! Avec Royal Tour, le point de rencontre a lieu près d'un bâtiment moderne, non loin du Site Birkenau. On m'a baladée d'un site à un autre, en contredisant les infos... C'est une Guide Anglaise qui m'a bien renseignée, au final ! Une visite guidée en Anglais le 19 juillet, et une visite guidée en Français le 1er août : La visite n'est pas la même ! On ne voit pas les mêmes choses

An sich war die Tour super, da kann man nicht meckern. Jeder, der sich das mal anschauen möchte, sollte auch auf jeden Fall eine Tour buchen, um viele Randinformationen zu erhalten. Es ist sehr empfehlenswert - wir fanden es sehr interessant und herzzerreißend gleichzeitig. Schade fand ich nur, dass unsere Tour anstatt wie gebucht um 11:30 Uhr dann zu 07:45 Uhr vorverlegt wurde. Es wurde einfach beschlossen und wir hatten keine andere Option wie zum Beispiel einen anderen Tag wählen oder eine Erstattung.

    Prise en charge rapide et simple. Les instructions étaient claires et précises pour les lieux de rencontre pendant la visite. Par contre le groupe était trop grand et la guide pendant la visite n'était pas très compréhensible. Elle parle correctement mais pas assez fort et sans articuler.

    We received conflicting information about the meeting point : an e-mail said to meet at Auschwitz Birkenau 2 under the royal tours sign while a text message said to meet at Auschwitz 1 at the luggage storage.
