Great guide for a time to reflect. - Not much to be said the tour guide was very pleasant and talkative. The tour itself was very somber and a huge insight to evil.

Excellent tour guides - Well organised trip to visit such tragic events in history. Tour guide very informative and helpful. Take food with you as there is no cafe but there are snack vending machines. Wear comfortable shoes as lot of walking. Collected at our accommodation and returned back. Would highly recommend this company to visit Auschwitz with.

I’d love to do it again! - Me and my friends went on a trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau, and we loved it! Everything was super well organized, we got picked up from our hotel on the other side of the city, and the whole experience was really moving. Big thumbs up!

Well organized tour, with pickup from downtown Krakow - The driver contacted us the evening before to provide us with additional details for the pickup from Krakow city center. They arrived on time and we had a comfortable ride from the city to the memorial site where a guide was already expecting us to and led us through both Auschwitz I and Auschwitz-Birkenau, with transfer in between. It was a memorable experience for all of us. The guide was extremely knowledgable about the history of the camps, pointing out details and always engaged with our group. The transfer back to Krakow went smoothly, too.

I Recommend this trip - The trip was organized very well. The bus arrived at the agreed time. Our guide had a wealth of knowledge about the experiences people had at Auschwitz and Birkenau during WW2, which helped us understand the stories even more. He told everything very interesting, was kind and helpful. It is a profound, thought-provoking experience. I RECOMMEND!
