Our guide at Auschwitz was phenomenal and professional, especially considering how young he was. We were very impressed by him and made the experience a smooth and great one

We loved the whole experience, the day was great so full of information all day long. Seeing the camps for the first time was breathtaking just seeing and hearing everything that had gone on. Walking in to the buildings and seeing all the pictures on the walls and the total approximate number of dead was unbelievable. Our tour guide (Samuel i think his name was) for both camps was very informative and took his time to give us the information we needed and went at a steady pace so we didn't feel rushed. This is an experience that I think everyone needs to come and do once in their lifetime. Yes its sad to hear and see but the experience is needed. The salt mines was incredible, loads of information, loads of steps to walk down lol and once your down into the mines and you can see the grand scale of everything down there....WOW. carvings made from rock salt, there are even chapels that are still usable but the best experience by far was standing on the balcony looking down into Kinga's chapel (which is still a functioning chapel and you can even get married in the salt mines). Our tour guide (isabella) was great, funny and so informative. But the day couldn't have been possible if it wasn't for our great driver (Michal) he picked us up on time, told us everything that was planned for the day and rough time frames for everything. Introduced us to our tour guides at both sites and was waiting exactly where he said he would be and even pinged his location to meet him after coming out of the mines (as there were 2 locations to come out from). Overall this was an amazing day trip and glad we have done it and would definitely do the salt mines again.

From outset the company's communication was 1st class . Regular WhatsApp msgs and prompt replies to any queries . Not was any trouble to tour organisers. Both tours speak for themselves . We were collected on time by courteous English speaking driver for salt mine tour and had clear instructions on pickup & times etc 2 nd rendezvous with larger coach back in krakow was again timely and stress free . We had absolutely fantastic coach represeatives who regularly updated us on process to get into Austwich. Repeated info eventually sticks !! I'm overall such a memorable day both in Terms of the attractions and the organisation behind it to safely & efficiently make it happen Big thankyou to all

The salt sculptures were phenomenal. The historical significance of both tours were inspiring. It took several days to unpack the heartbreak of Auswitz.
