The timing and schedule were met, the time of the Pic up was anticipated as it was indicated among the possibilities, this was an advantage because it allowed for the afternoon to be free and to enjoy the visit in the cool morning, a more collected time, with beautiful light. Thank you!

Amazing experience, very emotional and something that everyone should do in their lifetime to remember the past horrors that took place. The tours was very well organised from pick up to drop off thanks to our driver Kamil, there was no waiting in line at Auschwitz. The guide was very informative and detailed, I found the tour to be an excellent pace. Highly reccomend this tour for anyone wanting to visit Auschwitz!

Our guide Mario and driver Joe were fantastic. Mario provided a wealth of information in a way appropriate to the memorials visited. He was patient and thoughtful of all participants. The memorials themselves were solemn and well worthwhile seeing to observe the hate of the past. It's not the type of tour we would do again, but we are very glad we took the opportunity to do the tour, and thankful for our guide Mario, who also offered advice and recommendations of books from the Birhenau book shops.

This is our first experience with this site. From the online purchase to the reception at the meeting place, it's perfect. The contact the day before from whatsapp to let us know about the advanced appointment: very good! Well done! The organization from the meeting point to the entrance to the Auschwitz camp: fantastic! Very well organized. And the visit with our top-notch French-speaking guide.

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

Earlier this ticket used to be much pricier, not sure if headout put it on discount or if the original ticket price went down. Either way, thanks
