The tour was incredible from start to finish. Very kind drivers and an extremely knowledgeable guide. The tour of Auschwitz is extremely impactful and challenging, so it's very important that it be as well organized as it was. Everything was perfect, I recommend it to everyone!

A place of remembrance that is essential for understanding one of the most tragic chapters in history. The visit is difficult and deeply moving, but necessary. The memorial is maintained with great respect and historical accuracy. It should be visited in silence, with awareness and humility.

#It was truly impressive and very sad to realize what the reality was like. The guide was 10/10, explaining everything in great detail. You can choose which language to do the tour in; I did it in English. I highly recommend it. Royal Tour lived up to what you would expect from this type of tour. You go in as one person and come out as another.

Everything was very well explained. The team contacted us the day before to give us all the information we needed to find them at the site. Once there, we had a great guide who explained everything to us in French. For those who don't choose the transfer option, both parking lots are paid. You have to take the car to get from one museum to the other. It was a very good experience. The guide walks very fast, though, so you have to keep up.

It was a wonderful experience. Fin is what I thought "wonderful" was the right word? I don't know. But thanks to the guided tour, which allows us to understand everything, learn every detail, accompanied by the driver who follows you wherever you go, it makes this experience perfect and lightened compared to the horrors we can discover in these places...

The tour was very well organized. Our driver was friendly and knowledgeable. He also translated for us on the tour. Auschwitz-Birkenau was a powerful experience. Parts felt a little rushed- but there is so much to see, and they are large sites to cover in the amount of time allotted. That being said, I learned so much and appreciated how our guide shared the stories about what happened here. The salt mines were a wonderful experience as well! The sculptures are beautiful, and the tour sharing the history of the mines was very interesting. I would highly recommend this tour.

It was incredible, from Adam, our driver, to our guide (whose name I don't remember), they were impeccable. The guide, in every moment he introduced us to the history that happened there, managed to convey a vibe that went beyond words; every phrase, every word had a very strong impact. Adam, the driver, was spectacular, always concerned about the people. The pick-up location was spot on. The only negative thing to point out is that the break to eat something was only 15 minutes, but it wasn't something that spoiled the tour.
