Somber but necessary - Good experience although bus can be a tight fit if you’re tall (as my partner is) . Driver picked us up at hotel (about 10 min after time) and we arrived safely. Driver then arranged your tickets for entry where an official guide takes over. You are then driven to Birkenau and the tour continues. It goes without saying this is not a fun day. Lots of kudos to our tour guide in Auschwitz and Birkenau who did a wonderful job of explaining in detail all of the atrocities experienced there. A must for any Jewish person (or other religion) visiting the area. It is a day you won’t ever forget. #neverforget

Very good day - Really good day. Our guide was so interesting and spoke from the heart. Sometimes a little hard to understand due to the language barrier but great all the same

Unforgettable - Whilst it's hard to say this trip was fantastic due to the obvious heartbreaking circumstances, the trip was extremely well organised, from the excellent bus driver who picked us up and drove us there, to the tour guide who took us around both sites. The whole trip was extremely respectful and it never felt like there were bus loads of tourists there. The cost of the trip was also extremely reasonable to say it took us 1hr 20 to get there. A must if you are interested in history and want to pay your respects. It is a trip I will never forget x

Turned out to be a great day - Everything was perfect, our driver was 10/10 and the tour guide for the museum itself was very nice. Only downside was having our tour rebooked for a day later due to issues with the museum itself and then a delay on the day but these were all out of our driver’s control and it was still an awesome and eye opening experience and i’m so glad we still go out to go.

A tour of Auschwitz was most interesting and heartbreaking. I can't believe what you actually experience. - The tour was very good and easy to follow with the headphone set. The pace of the tour was fine. Lots of relevant information. Enjoyed the day. The transfer was ok. However the time of pick up was changed the day before from 10am to 6.20 am. So we had to take breakfast with us and eat on the minibus.

Really shocking experience - The trip was cancelled and rearranged for the next day, then was cancelled again. Instead of trying to sort out a new trip they issued a refund and said if I wanted to book I’d have to pay again, even though at this point they still had the funds. Viator use outsourced local trip providers, who can make ALOT more money by booking these tours direct, so have no issues cancelling. In the end I ended up booking with a local agent, who didn’t rip our eyes out, and thankfully we didn’t miss the trip. Not that the agents I spoke to viator could have cared less. Really shocking experience

messed up my Holibob - Sat in my seat on the plane and received a WhatsApp and Email the day before my trip telling me they’ve had to cancel - not received a refund from them. Had to book with someone else who I had no issue with so… I wouldn’t bother with these
