The timing and schedule were met, the time of the Pic up was anticipated as it was indicated among the possibilities, this was an advantage because it allowed for the afternoon to be free and to enjoy the visit in the cool morning, a more collected time, with beautiful light. Thank you!

Amazing experience, very emotional and something that everyone should do in their lifetime to remember the past horrors that took place. The tours was very well organised from pick up to drop off thanks to our driver Kamil, there was no waiting in line at Auschwitz.

Very informative, very nice guide, "Conrad" who explained everything very well. A very sad piece of history but must be remembered for the victims and what they went through.
