Helpful and very good service - I brought my students for the third time to see the memento of humanity. I wanted to experience a journey through stories like in Theresienstadt but this is impossible in Auschwitz. Thank you for accommodating us, everybody was helpful and kind.

A must - Our guide was prompt, informative, friendly. He got us to the right places at the right time and ensured we knew what was happening. The tour itself is of course harrowing. But it’s fascinating and well organised from start to finish. The cafe there is good.

everyone should learn the history, unreal to think only 75 years ago! - We had a great guide very informative and clearly a passion for the subject. During the Auschwitz visit you have a headset. You just need to imagine yourself in that period, put yourself there. Imagine the people. The tour is dependant on time and length you have chosen. No large bags are allowed, security checks on entry.During busy periods tours are kind of speeded up its all at a quicker pace. Birkenau, the scale of this site is hard to comprehend!No headset and its more about looking rather than lots of talking.It is just incredible to see the size of this place and imagine what happened. Go with respect. I'd definitely recommend watching some films or documentaries if you are not familiar with facts. Really good tour to go on.

Auschwitz visit and private transfer - Excellent experience, driver was brilliant and waited for us the whole time we were walking around Auschwitz. Tour was very sad (to be expected), but guide was very good at explaining things as we went round.

To big of a group, chaotic - Being at Auschwitz and Birkenau one of histories darkest pages is the reason to go. But organization of this is chaotic. Although we our private driver was on time and friendly. The person who had or ticket was stuck in traffic. No interaction with this man. He was just doing his job. Guide was very strict, but did a great job. The group was to big (even the guide said that to us)
