A must-do trip! - What a moving experience-We were shown pretty much everything there was to see and there were some very graphic artefacts which are quite shocking, especially when our guide explained what was going on behind them. We were able to enter many of the buildings, the crematoria that were left and at Birkenau the barracks. Our guide was fantastic by the way and very knowledgable, she literally didn’t stop talking.- So informative! You need to keep up with your group or you can easily get lost amongst other tours, but the headsets they provide you with allow you to hear your guide clearly even when you can’t always see them. Everybody should see Auschwitz and Birkenau- it’s a very real, stark and haunting reminder of recent history. If we don’t learn the lessons, it could so easily be repeated.

An absolute must… everyone should do this trip - From start to finish this tour was very well organized. This is the second time we’ve done this tour with the same company. It was even better this time. Michal who took us to Auschwitz kept us well informed of timings. Our guide around both sites was incredibly knowledgeable. I learnt even more this time.

Auswitch visit - I could not recommend our visit highly enough. The booking itself was easy with a choice of dates and times. We were picked up from our hotel at the allotted time which was confirmed as per booking, the day before. Our driver Matt was knowledgeable, courtious, friendly and on time. Our guide for the visit was Anya. She was amazing, enthusiastic, spoke very good English and she enthused the history of Auswitch.She brought to life the emotions that the victims of Auswitch went through. It is our third visit with Viator and would highly recommend them

Very moving experience - We’re collected from hotel on time and transferred to Auschwitz in a small minibus. Very good tour of Auschwitz- lots to see and guide was very informative. Very moving. Could perhaps have spent slightly longer but we were guided through all the main areas. Went onto the second site of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Unfortunately weather was appalling so tour here was shorter also a bit difficult to hear the guide properly. It was definitely rushed which is a real shame as the scale of the place is hard to believe.

Disappointed in my tour guide at Auschwitz-Birkenau tour - Two years ago I visited the Dachau and Sachsenhausen concentration camps in Nazi Germany, and was impressed by the outstanding guide. But I was very disappointed with my guide at the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp in Poland in September 2021. She was a native of Osviecim, the Polish city where the camp is located. She was so soft-spoken that it was difficult to hear her at Birkenau, where there was no audio recording. She recited the correct facts at each stop on the tour, but showed little emotion about the extermination of 1.1 million people there. She also did not appreciate anyone asking her questions, it appeared as if she was there for a pay check and nothing else. There should be better screening of applicants for guide positions. Viator and your local partner should pay more attention to which guide works with the people on your tours.
