"Obligatory" visit. - A very complete visit that left us impressed. I recommend doing it with a guide. Ours, Helena, told us a lot of anecdotes and facts that made us understand the atrocities that were committed there.

Tour with Celia: highly recommended! - We visited the concentration camp with guide Celia Martinez, an extremely attentive and dynamic professional, who explains the context and historical evolution of the Holocaust very well. It is important to note that the guide shows enormous respect and sensitivity to the history of the victims and the space of such heavy memories, impeccably guiding her group. If you only have command of the Portuguese language, the oratory is fully understandable. I highly recommend it!

Bad Guide - The guide was terrible in every aspect, without much knowledge, little disposition, and always in a hurry... his name is Héctor G, he also did not allow us to take photos or film if he appeared... at the end of the tour he took us running to the train so as not to get lost At 3:30 p.m., he got off where it was convenient for him and the group was left adrift.
