Wow. - Wow, from start to finish. After a computer glitch let me book the tour and pay the company reached out and apologized and asked to switch the day, which unfortunately due to scheduling would not work. They figured out a way to make it work and I'm so thankful they did. Very communicative through the whole process. The tour of Auschwitz itself was extremely moving. Tour was well organized, transportation was great, group was perfect size.

Good, glad I visited, but maybe more detail needed to stop this happening again ? - I so wish that I had written a list of questions to ask as I feel that this tour was sugar-coated. I cannot blame the tour guide as they are taught how to conduct the tour and the tours for each country are formatted differently, so there is not just the language difference. I only found this out as I had someone translate in Polish for me. There is a lot to see in your time there but there is a lot of things that you do not see like all of the false teeth, children's toys, and many other things that may spring to mind. The dogs were mentioned and that they killed some people, but no details like babies were thrown to them, their teeth brushed with a poison, prisoners told to run and then the dogs were sent off after them and their wounds examined after, and sometimes just used to kill. Also the experiments done, injecting chloroform directly into the heart of twins to see which would die first and see how long the second would live for. Many many more procedures were carried out and no mention of anesthetic being used. Yes, some of it was horrifying, but the world should never forget the level of suffering that was caused to the people that died and the ones that survived and suffered afterwards.

Changed the tour time last minute - Very knowledgeable tour guide. We really liked her, and unlike some other tours, you get headphones and she speaks into a microphone so you could hear everything. Unfortunately, the tour company reserve the right to change the time of the tour, which they did with us. It started 2 hours later than we had originally booked for, and we had something work-related later in the day that couldn’t be rescheduled, so we had to leave the tour early, missing all of the Birkenau part.

Very bad organisation - - change of visit schedule the day before without proper communication. No changes on our booking schedule in the app. We nearly missed the tour. - no support on site. Wrong info. We finally got a contact via a colleague from another tour operator to get the info, otherwise we would have missed the tour. - because of the undue delay of the tour, we ended up the tour at Birkenau in the dark without seeing anything - because of the rush, some less valid persons in the group could not follow the pace and missed some explanations from the guide - the only positive point is for the guide who was good.

Fuyez - Tour staggered during the day, with a guide who does not know her subject and who has fallen behind with an arrival in birkenau 30 minutes from the closing. I strongly advise against it. This was my second visit to the site the previous one a few years before was captivating. This one null and unfinished...not even seeing the ovens destroyed...tells us the menus of the prisoners as if we were in an all inclusive...really to flee.

Beware of fraud! - Attention! Don't book a tour at Royal Tours. The company changes the visiting hours at short notice and after the cancellation period has expired on Viator. Unfortunately, our visit to the historical monument was cancelled as a result, because this is 1.) too short-term and the journey is not possible 2.) you search for the company on Google Maps quickly find out that there is a system behind it and 3.) none of the statements made on Viator coincide with that of the company. Simply put, it's fraud.
