Very informative

Elaine_C, Sep 2025

Tour guide was very knowledgeable- interesting- although there wasn't a lot of English language books or magnets left

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for your review and we will let know museum's book stores that they should fill their inventory :)

All a bit rushed. Lose...

All a bit rushed. Lose your guide and go at your own pace, and catch up with them where the bus is parked.

Superb

No words in as far as the history goes, however, our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable. I liked that in Auschwitz we had individual headphones to hear our guide. It meant, 1, I could hear everything, but 2 no-one was talking and you could be left to your own thoughts.
