Good, well organised trip

Easy pick up, good driver, all sorted with no effort. Glad I booked rather than DIY. Worth the visit.

Rushed, needed more time

Our driver was excellent and explained how the tour would go. Our tour guide of Auschwitz 1 and 2 spoke very good English but was extremely boring and rushed us through the things I really wanted to see and lingered on things that to me were not so interesting. There is so much to see and try to understand.

Long day but learnt a lot, it’s an essential trip if you’re in the area, quite a bit of walking involved and you could be exposed to the elements in winter so bring appropriate clothes and shoes.

Last minute cancellation

The organisers cancelled my trip the night before with no explanation. I had to completely change my plans due to this unexpected cancellation. I do not recommend this company!! Try other tour organisers to avoid the disappointment.

Response from Host , Nov 2021

Apologise for this situation, the company collects people for individual days and then reports it to the museum, this time unfortunately the museum did not accept our booking due to the limit of people on the museum premises. It happened to us once, we suggested the next day of this trip, we are sorry that we could not see you on it

Harrowing, sombre but a must do trip. Pick up from the very friendly driver was on time and once at Auschwitz we met up with our extremely knowledgeable guide who told the history and made the place and it’s dark history all the more emotional

Must do

Picked up promptly at the time advised via email the day before from our hotel. Driver was lovely, friendly and even took us to a part of the site that isn't covered on the tour as we arrived early. A bottle of water was provided to everyone in the vehicle.
