Numbing effect... - We booked with Krakow direct and the trip was well organised with English speaking guide. Both my wife and I have been reading about the holocaust since our formative years and this was in our bucket list... but seeing with your own eyes it was like whatever we read about was coming alive... it's an indescribable experience...its not a touristy thing to do and it's not meant for all... most important, respect those who endured the sufferings and passed away...so, refrain from taking smiling selfies and posing for photos... you can take photos of most of the places otherwise...

Definitely worth a visit - This is a tour well worth doing. It is very well organised. We were picked up and dropped off from our hotel and our driver was great. The tour guide Kasia at the museum was very well informed and struck the right level of respect for the location. Makes you think!

Krakow/ Auschwitz-Birkenau - Everything was good, from the pick up to the drop off. our tour guides were great. The tour was very informative , shocking to see how the prisoners were treated. There was a lot of walking so be aware of that if you have mobility issues. We ordered a packed lunch with our guide and it was a lovely lunch, worth the money, the only downside was that there wasn’t enough time between the tours to eat it. Over all great

Seamless from start to finish! - Absolutely seamless pickup and drop off! Michal explained EVERYTHING perfectly which meant we knew where to be, when and what would happen. Tour was excellent. You 'could' DIY it with the train but a tour is worth every penny to remove the hassle!

Auschwitz Tour - Pick up on time, driver good, friendly and helpful...guide Anna was very good, knowledgeable and helpful but we did feel quite rushed throughout the tour, which took the edge off for us. TIme to reflect, read the displayed information and absorb the enormity of what happened would have been appreciated. We also queued for approx 25 mins, tkt time 8.30, 9am when we went in. Security checks need to be advised to customers as we were not prepared for it....

the trip was cancelled 10... - the trip was cancelled 10 days before we left but it was all hidden in the viator web page and I was getting mixed messages - such as your trip is happening soon etc. The people who cancelled it should have just given me a direct message to my email address not through viator website. We tried to get on another trip and that was cancelled an hour before we were due to leave. I am expecting a full refund!!!

Awful - You cancelled less than 24 hours before we were due to go - awful and very stressful as the trip was the main reason we came to Krakow
