An emotional experience. - This is a must do trip, it’s emotionally draining to see the horrors people suffered during this dark period of humanity. I’m glad we had the private transport, not only for the privacy to reflect during our journey back to the hotel, but to have a knowledgeable driver who knew and understood the history and culture of Poland. Damian was the best and looked after us all day.

Best of the best - Great service from Damien. We were contacted the day before, for final confirmation of pick up time etc. Collected at the hotel and transported to the camps in a clean and comfortable mini van. Damien was very warm, knowledgeable and conversational. Looked after us the the entirety of the trip. Fantastic, I couldn't recommend him enough, in fact I'm writing this review on the way back to the hotel. I would highly recommend this to anyone seeking a first class, comfortable and convenient experience. Thank you

Somewhere you have to visit - Walking through 1 of the gas chambers, seeing the furnace's right next to it. Walking into birkenau and just seeing the vast scale of the camp

Best Way to do This Tour! - We booked a private transport from Krakow to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial Site. Damian Szafran met us in the lobby of our hotel (right on time!) and gave some good insight along the way.
His van was very nice and he went above & beyond to make sure we were comfortable and assist with the tour.
Overall a great experience, thanks in no small part to Damian’s efforts
Thank you, Damian!

Great trip - We had a great private driver to Aushwitz- the weather was terrible and he drove very carefully and safely through all the snow. Guide at Aushwitz was very good. We skipped Birkenau bc it was just too cold and glad we had the option bc we had a private driver

Illuminating Experience, But……….. - Illuminating, sobering experience, but tour feels rushed as guide must adhere to schedule for each group. Much preferred Holocaust Museum in DC where there is time to absorb the total experience.
Only a 10-minute break is allowed between Auschwitz and Birkenau after a 90-minute walk at Auschwitz and an upcoming 1.8 mile walk at Birkenau. Strenuous day possibly for seniors which should be noted in tour description.

More time and less people. - I felt there were too many people there at one time. Could have done with a little more time in certain areas.

Damien our driver was on... - Damien our driver was on time, and delivered a perfect service right to the door. On arrival it didn't stop raining which did make us reflect on how bad it must have been in Winter. The tour guide was excellent. However, we were hoping to take time to wander alone, to look up, look across, look inside .... just to take a good look at everything to gain a real sense of what happened here. Seeing TV documentaries, reading books, and listening to family experiences is much more moving, and informative. I do understand why tourists are fully guided but had I been aware I might not have visited.
