It was insightful. No problem with bus or driver. Surely the guide speaks better english, than if speak Polish, except she kept confusing me every time she said pre-ZONErs. I couldn't figure out who this group of people were until I was farther away and barely heard her. Much to my surprise, she was actually saying PRIZoners.

Outstanding service and guide. Our guide was very good in explaining what (unfortunately) happened in these two places.Bernard

It's not the kind of place you have a great time and indeed I never expected to. I put good on my review as the tour guide was amazing with knowledge and the way he respectfully presented life and deth within the camps back in the day. Some of the exhibits were heart wrenching but need to be seen as an educational reminder of how cruel history was back then. The tour was excellently organised from pick up in Krakow central to drop off the same evening. The tour was very informative and the same time heavy going to take in the misery and murder that occurred at that site. Tour guide was fantastic and could answer everyone's questions.

My girlfriend and I recently took part in the 'From Krakow: Auschwitz-Birkenau Guided Tour with Transfers,' and it was an incredibly moving experience. The tour was very well-organized, and the transfers were smooth, making the journey comfortable. Our guide, Helena, was extremely knowledgeable and compassionate, providing insightful and respectful commentary throughout the entire tour. Visiting both Auschwitz and Birkenau was deeply emotional for both of us, and it was a sobering reminder of such an important part of history. We both appreciated the opportunity to reflect and learn. Highly recommend this tour, especially with such an excellent guide like Helena.

A very emotional experience. These inhuman acts must not be forgotten. The French guide explains and recounts these appalling acts extremely well. One sentence: NEVER FORGET!
