This was such a well organised trip and all went without a hitch. The drivers were great - professional, efficient, and very specific and detailed directions regarding the day were given both by them, and our guide Magdalena. Magdalena's knowledge was impressive. The way she conveyed this throughout the day was very moving and emotional. I would add that Magdalena remained very patient with several members of the group who were incredibly rude to her just before the tour started. The day was well planned with several breaks during the tour. I feel the price was such good value considering we got picked up, driven there and back, and had such a full and informative day at Auschwitz. Thoroughly recommend booking through this company.

Köpte biljett i sista minuten hamnade i en fransk grupp det gick inget vidare då jag kan o franska. Allt fungerade väldigt bra bussen som tog oss dit. Väldigt fungerande resa fram o åter. Maten + vatten frukt mm var väldigt bra för 40 zloty förbeställd. Tänk på att ha med mynt till toaletter korten gick tyvärr inte. Har var här förut för 40 år sedan första gången då var väldigt tungt att ta in det ofattbara. Denna gången var det på något vis lättare ,det pågick renoveringsarbeten på många ställen Birkenau är omöjligt att ta in går inte att förstå vilken enorm ondska och enorma storlek på grymhet. Massa ungdoms grupper rekomenderar att man läser på innan vad det är man ser . Jag är mer än nöjd då det var en restplats.

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.

    Eine ursprünglich mit 20 Minuten angekündigte Pause wurde auf 10 Minuten verkürzt - zu wenig Zeit, um die Toilette zu besusuchen, sich einen Snack zu besorgen und diesen zu verzehren. Und warum wird ein Lunchpaket angeboten, wenn es keine Zeit und Gelegenheit gibt, dieses zu verzehren? Der Reiseleiter war rüde im Umgangston und ungeschickt in der Kommunikation. Er hat deutlich gezeigt, dass es ihm lediglich darauf ankam, ein vorgegebenes Zeitkorsett einzuhalten, und dass er kein Interesse hatte, auf die Bedürfnisse der Teilnehmer einzugehen. Trinkgeld hat er dafür vermutlich von niemand erhalten. Und er hat so schlechte Stimmung erzeugt, dass er uns nicht animiert hat, an weiteren Touren von Headout teilzunehmen. Headout sollte die Reisen so organisieren, dass jedenfalls eine Mittagspause von 20 Minuten möglich ist, und seine Reiseleiter verpflichten, diese Pause zu ermöglichen. . Abgesehen davon war die Tour gut organisiert.

    La visite est très bien organisée, l'équipe est professionnelle et agréable. Trajet en minibus depuis Cracovie, puis prise en charge par le guide français. Il était très professionnel, et avec une gravité et un ton très adapté à la visite. Le tour a duré 7h comme prévu. A savoir, votre horaire peut changer. Nous avions réservé à 11h30 et la veille, par WhatsApp, nous avons été informés que l'horaire passait à 10h15.

    Visite guidée par une guide locale parlant parfaitement français. La visite est instructive et la guide a pris le temps de répondre aux questions du groupe. Faire cette visite avec un guide me semble indispensable car il n'y a que très peu de panneaux explicatifs, et la mise en contexte des différents bâtiments que l'on visite rend la visite bien plus compréhensible.

    Notre visite a été reportée au lendemain car le jour prévu, notre navette n'est pas passée. De plus le chauffeur ne parlait pas français alors que nous étions un groupe de 12 français. La visite sur les lieux était d'un pas rapide et des personnes avaient du mal à suivre le rythme. Le lunch était de qualité médiocre.
