    Outstanding service and guide. Our guide was very good in explaining what (unfortunately) happened in these two places.

    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.

    The guide she was so friendly and had excellent knowledge. As we arrived before 8am as we chose the none transfer/pick up option we got straight in too. With our tickets sent straight to our phones. The tour was 3hours which for me was perfect. We managed to get back to our hotel by 1pm.

    El lugar es terrible si pensamos que es literalmente un cementerio. La experiencia fue positiva gracias a nuestra guía, muy clara y precisa. Es un lugar para reflexionar y recordar.

    Auschwitz-Birkenau opportunity not to be missed. Well prepared guide and very informative. Provided transport from hotel excellent. Salt Mines interesting but at times a bit lengthy. Exit a bit confusing. Provided transport to hotel excellent.

    The guide is really good, she masters her subject very well and guided us through the tour with great professionalism, ending with a very nice personal conclusion that made us think about the future of humanity.

    Very easy to choose the tour at a time and day that suited us best. The choice of pick up locations was good too, very close to our accommodation in Krakow. The tour bus was confortable, with a good driver and he and the guide were friendly, helpful and attentive. The guide at Auschwitz was very knowledgable and helpful too.

    One of the most heartbreaking places you'll ever visit but in reality it's important for us to see it because our ancestors once lived here, albeit in horrific living conditions. To all the fallen martyrs- salud
