The guides we had at Auschwitz-Birkenau and at the Salt Mine were both really good. Suzanne at Auschwitz was very clear and interesting and had a really good tone that suited the somber topic. In contrast at the salt mine our guide was humerus with her delivery but still very informative. Unfortunately we were late being picked up in the morning. These things happen but don't say it's traffic when it's because the driver hadn't turned up to work. Standing outside in the sleet at 6am for an hour wasn't the best start to the day. Also 8 people in the minibus was a little uncomfortable if you had to sit in the front.

The trip was all a bit rushed. Our timings were moved from 8.30am to 6.05am to start with which left no time for breakfast and no time was made by the organisers in allowance of this. Over the course of the trip we were rushed from venue to venue with no real time made for food break given the length of the trip and the fact we started earlier. Everything else was as expected.

The Wieliczka Salt Mine is an impressive site. I was amazed by knowing that all the beautiful art sculpted in salt was made by the workers in the mine. Visiting Auschwitz and Birkenau, guided by a knowledgeable person, was an unforgettable experience. Only being there to feel. Both tours could have been a better experience if the guide in the bus could use the travel time to tell us more about the places we were travelling through. His function was basically a "head counter".

Na reserva da visita guiada a Auschwitz-Birkenau e à mina de sal de Wieliczka foi possível selecionar a opção de almoço. Após a visita à mina de sal de Wieliczka tivemos a hora de almoço, acontece que não foi possível encontrar o guia, tendo o mesmo entregue o almoço quando regressámos ao autocarro para partir para Auschwitz-Birkenau, isto após a hora de almoço. Não recomendo esta opção, até porque fica mais barato se comprarem numa loja o almoço. Em relação ao guia de Auschwitz-Birkenau a forma como falava não facilitava a compreensão. Falava muito depressa (quase sem respirar) e depois fazia uma pausa e recomeçava. Confesso que estava expectante com esta visita mas de facto o guia não foi o melhor, sorumbático e muito distante, não tive sorte! When booking the guided tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau and the Wieliczka salt mine, it was possible to select the lunch option. After the visit to the Wieliczka salt mine we had lunch time, it turned out that it was not possible to find the guide, and he delivered lunch when we returned to the bus to leave for Auschwitz-Birkenau, this after lunch time. I don't recommend this option, because it's cheaper if you buy lunch in a store. In relation to the Auschwitz-Birkenau guide, the way he spoke did not facilitate understanding. He spoke very quickly (almost without breathing) and then paused and started again. I confess that I was looking forward to this visit but in fact the guide was not the best, gloomy and very distant, I had no luck!

Pick up and transfer was very good. The Salt Mines are a must see, a great experience. The Church is awesome. Auschwitz a sad reminder of the evil of war. May the souls of all those who perished there Rest in Peace. The tour guides were brilliant, very informative and willing to answer questions.
