A visit everyone should make atleast once. - Very very early start, and a long wait until we started our tour, but well worth the visit and experience. Brilliant tour guide, excellent English and very knowledgeable.

Great day - Great trip had a 7 minute walk to meet the coach early start 5.45am Tour guide was very knowledgeable but felt we could had a bit longer at each place to ask questions. But overall great value for money and would definitely recommend this trip take some sandwiches and snacks and drinks

Way off it. - Terrible terrible experience. Cancelled the night before when I was enjoying a truly fantastic steak dinner, (compliments to the chef for the garlic sauce,) one board member even said it was the best steak he’d ever had (he says that about every meal though…) then offered us a 5am pick up instead of 10:15am we’d booked. Said no and requested a refund and Ivan still turned up at 5am, ringing me waking me up when we’d been out enjoying a Christmas do the night before. Not pleased whatsoever. AVOID AVOID!!!

Do your research before booking. - We booked an 8am hotel pick up which was moved to 4:25am. Was also not at the hotel and was a 10 minute walk away. We had to wait outside as well as the guides buy the tickets on the door. So entry isn’t necessarily guaranteed. We managed to buy tickets at 8am as the guides give you cash to do so. Our tour wasn’t until 10am so we had to wait 2 more hours for this. The tour was interesting and moving. However our guide moved very quickly and we weren’t give. Much time to view exhibitions as you are carted through like cattle.

Avoid booking - We booked this trip in advance and on the day they contacted us it be moved 2 hours early, we confirmed it. But on the day no one turned up to come get us and we rang multiple times and still no one answered. They’re not very reliable, therefore I would avoid booking with them.

Don’t book with these people. - Very disappointed with this company. We went to Poland for a long weekend, with the aim of visiting Auschwitz on our first day. We booked in advance thinking this was the best way to ensure our tour would go ahead. We were advised late on day of arrival that the ‘museum’ couldn’t accommodate our tour on the day planned. We were given the option to book again for the following day. The company said they would confirm our tour between 4 and 7 pm the day before. I tried chasing them to no avail, so contacted Viator. I then received a virtual copy of the email I’d received the day before, at approximately 8pm on the Sunday night, telling me the tour couldn’t go ahead and offering me the chance to rebook again. We couldn’t rebook as we were going home. We were desperately disappointed that we had been let down and angry that the message had arrived so late that we were unable to find an alternative.

Great trip let down by mistake advertising on transport arrangements - Auschwitz & Birkenau were truly harrowing. I never imagined the scale of eradication that took place. I would recommend that everyone needs to visit the sites of mass murder. The transport provided was good. However, the problem was it was never HOTEL PICKUP. I got a message the day before telling me the time of collection had altered by 35 minutes and that we had to get to a collection place in the city centre at our own expense and then make our own way back to the hotel at the end of the day. All in all the transport was a shambles costing me an extra £12 in taxis. I would not recommend this company again
