This was a very well-organized and smooth experience from start to finish. Everything ran on time, and the logistics were handled efficiently, making the visit easy and stress-free. The guide was excellent, extremely knowledgeable about history and able to explain everything clearly and respectfully. The information was detailed without being overwhelming, which made the experience even more impactful. Transportation was comfortable, and the driver was kind and professional throughout the trip. Auschwitz-Birkenau is an important place to visit, and this tour handled it with the respect and organization it deserves. I highly recommend it. It is absolutely worth it.

I had an excellent experience on the Auschwitz tour, which was perfectly organized from start to finish. The transfer was smooth and reliable, and our driver, Renata, was very kind, punctual, and professional, making the journey comfortable and stress-free. Our guide, Filip, was extremely knowledgeable and well-prepared, providing clear, detailed explanations with great respect for the historical significance of the site. His insights made the visit even more meaningful and impactful. I highly recommend this tour for its outstanding organization and the dedication of the team, who truly made it a memorable experience.

Was a great day out. Very organised and well planned out. Had a text a few days before from the company it was booked through with a location and time to meet. Our driver Jordan from Legedary Krakow was fantastic, very friendly and chatty and was more than happy to help and provide information where he could. It was clear he enjoyed what he does and helped to make the day great. Highly recommend the tour and also Legedary Krakow.

Everything went smooth. The start time had to be moved to a much earlier time, but the driver picked us up from our stay, so we didn't have to go anywhere, at least. The guide we had at Auschwitz-Birkenau was a very good one - serious, respectful, thoughtful and provided clear information, and I'm appreciative that our group was also respectful of the context.

A well-organized tour. The tour guide was very attentive to the group and had a calm demeanor. Philipp switched effortlessly between German, English, and Italian. The tour of Auschwitz was deeply moving. Anna impressed us with her confidence and expertise. Thanks to Tadeusz, the bus driver, who drove us there and back safely.

Hello, our tour schedule was changed, but every effort was made to ensure we didn’t miss our return flight. We were able to leave our backpacks in a vehicle during the tour, and the driver kindly dropped us off directly at the airport on the way back. I highly recommend it.

    As expected, it was a very moving and interesting tour. The guide was very nice. Everything was explained clearly. The audio guides helped us understand everything well. There are a huge number of tours there all day long, which means you’re rushed through very quickly. I would have liked to have had more time to look at and read many of the exhibits, but the groups are packed tightly together. However, with so many people, there would otherwise be bottlenecks. The on-site manager was also very nice and spoke very clear English. The point deduction is because we had booked for 11 a.m. and were notified two days in advance that it was being moved up to 7:15 a.m. I understand the reasoning, since the groups have to be grouped by language. In hindsight, it was a positive experience, as we were the second group to be admitted early, though we had to get up at 4:30 a.m. for that. You’re on the go for 8 hours. We traveled by train. (4 hours) (= 1 hour each way by train and 1 hour each way walking to the station and to the meeting point.) If you’re a good walker, the train is a great option for getting to Auschwitz!! (The round-trip cost was €56.)

    Very impersonal. Felt like constantly playing a game of find your guide. A lot of time during the tour was spent trying to find our guide in group. They don't hold anything that shows you where they are so they can easily be spotted. Nothing special about this company. The tour of itself was very moving. But the people handling our transportation and the guide itself were very dry. If possible find a smaller group tour. If you got lost or left behind because you were using the bathroom, they would never know or care . I would recommend trying another company.

    The tour itself was to see all the infrastructure that was built to carry out the extermination of so many people. I would have liked to see more, but they didn’t take us to the museum or provide any explanations. On top of that, the guide didn’t speak to us in Spanish—even though we had booked a Spanish-speaking guide—and they assigned us a translator who wasn’t at fault, but she wasn’t very easy to understand and didn’t explain much of what we saw. I say this based on my advanced knowledge of history, and more specifically, military history.
