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.

Prise en charge facile et rapide par Royal Tour au centre de Cracovie, nous avons reçu un message la veille via whatsapp afin de nous informer de l'organisation et de l'horaire de notre visite décalée d'1h par rapport à l'heure initiale (10h au lieu de 9h) mais ce qui n'a gêné en rien. Arrivés sur place nous avons été accompagnés par Jadwica pour plus de 3h de visite dans ce lieu lourd d'histoire ... Notre guide était tout simplement formidable, nous transmettant des précieuses et utiles informations tout en adoptant le ton juste pour cette visite. Je recommande cette excursion avec une organisation optimale par Royal Tours, merci !

Der Fahrer hat uns pünktlich abgeholt und uns ausgezeichnet erklärt wie der Ablauf ist. Die Fahrt verlief ohne Probleme ab. Vor Ort wurden wir zum Museum gefahren und anschließend dort wieder abgeholt und nach Birkenau gebracht. Das Angebotene Mittagessen (haben wir nicht gewählt) beinhaltet 2 seasamringe (die die auch am Marktplatz für 3,50 Ztl verkauft werden) & einen Apfel. Dieses sollte beim Anbieter 40 Ztl Kosten. Davon ist abzusehen. Vor Ort gibt es auch einen Shop der für Essen und Getränke sorgt. Ich würde empfehlen sich selbst was mitzunehmen! Der Besuch hat sich alle Male gelohnt! Nur weiter zu empfehlen!!
