Absolutely brilliant tour... - Absolutely brilliant tour from start to finish, the driver was very friendly and helped us when we got to the museum. The tour guide was very friendly and had so much information to offer and made the experience very informative and interesting

Disappointing - Your tour time is subject to change by as much as 4.5 hrs earlier than booked.Who ever you get as a guide is critical ours was very hard to understand and did not make much effort to improve her delivery.We were marched through the camp and we did not leave the place feeling like we should after this harrowing place.

Poor English speaking guide - Pick up details were all good and what the day would be liked was all explained clearly.Unfortunately the English speaking guide had very poor English and even after a group member noted that we were finding her spoken words hard to understand there was no change.Having done this visit before I was aware of the visiting spots.She walked past many areas and seemed to only take group to what she wanted to discuss.Felt that she had a very biased view.

We booked a tour for... - We booked a tour for 10:00 then had a text day before saying pick up was 05:45 !! Actually picked up at 06:10 . Coach driver was lovely but chaos at entrance to Aushwitz . They couldn’t find us a guide eventually got a guide at 08:30 who was very brusque and kept saying we had to rush because we were late !! She had a very heavy English accent and spoke very quickly so was very difficult to understand . A lady asked her to slow down and she became annoyed and took it very personally - so became very awkward She appeared to not want to be there ! At the end was meant to be dropped at hotel but because of traffic was suggested we were all dropped at main square not what we paid for !

Poor Experience due to Viator - The tour was cancelled 12 hours before with no solution. It turns out this was expected yet the company did not make us aware. We are still awaiting a refund and can barely get hold of someone to get this actioned. Would highly recommend not booking through Viator.

Do not use! - If I could have given 0 stars I would have. Flew to Poland specifically to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau, booked this over a month before the trip and all confirmed. Hours before our flight we were informed the booking had been moved to the next day, we weren’t mad about this as we were still going while we were there. We were informed we will find out a time between 3/4 that afternoon to confirm a time. We did not receive this information and once we asked for details we were told we were unable to get a confirmed booking and unable to go. We could join another tour for Russian which we were happy to do but they advised we needed to pay an extra £180 each! This is a disgraceful experience and would advise people NOT to use Viatour! Completely ruined our trip. Having had this booked in advance this should not have happened at all and they were unable to help sort out

Don't Assume that a prebooking ensures a trip - Pathetic professionalism of tour operator Gr8Away. On booked date, canceled citing lack of English guides. Rebooking confirmed for next day , with a pick between 0400-1030, without ever reverting with exact timing . Waited in vain as there were no responses to either WhatsApp messages or calls. DISGUSTING

Non-starter - My trip was unexpectedly cancelled by the operator the evening before, so I didn't actually get to go
