A very well-organized visit, from the transportation to the guided tour itself. Our guide provided valuable information while also allowing us moments of silence and personal reflection. This balance gave us the space to truly absorb the history and reflect on the terrible events that took place there. A deeply moving experience that will stay with us for a long time.

The tour offered easy transportation from the city of Krakow to the excursion point at the Auschwitz 1 and 2 concentration camps. From then on, with our guide Miguel, everything was perfect; I even noticed he was very attentive to ensure all his passengers were doing well and enjoying their trip. I highly recommend it!

Without a doubt, the best part was Damian the guide. It was a shame that it got dark towards the end and we couldn't really see everything illuminated, but Damian organized it well so that we captured the essence. Very good.

Everything was handled very well, from the time change to our arrival and the tour. I had doubts about the pickup location, but they called, found us, and dropped us off at the same spot. Everything was excellent. Kudos!

It was a very interesting tour, and we had a great guide. It was well worth the trip. We arrived from Wilhelmshaven on Friday, did the tour on Saturday, and headed back on Sunday (2,150 km).

Very good guided tour—but too short The tour was organized top-notch, we were picked up on time, and we received plenty of relevant information about the visit in advance. The guided tour through Auschwitz 1 was very informative, and even the emotionally harrowing accounts were conveyed respectfully and in well-measured doses. Then came an unplanned, long break before heading into the Auschwitz 2 Birkenau camp, as a group ahead of us was running late. When we finally went to Camp 2 with the same guide, the tour was cut drastically short because we were supposed to head back together with the delayed group, which was a real shame. This was neither explained nor compensated for, which is why I'm docking one star.

Very well organized: the shuttle (offered in addition to the excursion) arrived on time and departed on time. The tour is very interesting, and the guide's explanations were great as well. I was lucky enough to take the tour with a French-speaking guide. The two sites (Auschwitz and Birkenau) are very spread out and there is quite a bit of walking: bring sneakers or comfortable shoes. Also pack a snack because the visit lasts 3 hours (plus 3 hours of round-trip transportation), and there are no restaurants on-site (pretty much just vending machines). The only slight downside: the price, which remains quite high.

The day was timed to perfection and ran right on schedule: no unnecessary waiting at the entrance and well-synchronized transfers between the two camps. Our guide was very clear and professional, and you could tell he was deeply invested in this pivotal chapter of the country's history. His explanations give the visit its full meaning. It is an emotionally intense experience, but an essential one. I recommend booking in advance, wearing good shoes, and bringing a jacket for this time of year.

The tour guide was great, very informative and respectful towards the memory of the victims. The company however "SeeKrakow" were a little disorganized, they did not pick me up at the hotel as promised and mentioned that they have informed me, but didn't. On the way back, I was inside the bus already and some rude lady called me on my phone saying that "the group is waiting for you already 30 minutes, where are you?". Other than that, it's an amazing experience.

Let's divide the experience into two aspects. Organizationally, everything went really well, both the timing and the logistics. The tour leader Michele was extremely kind and always attentive to everyone's needs. The guide was knowledgeable and spoke excellent Italian, and she was also always courteous and kind. Visiting the Auschwitz-Birkenau camps is an experience that must be had; no film or documentary can replace what we saw in person and experienced firsthand.
