Bad

Olia_M, Aug 2024

Very disorganized! They changed my departure last minute and didn’t let me know. I showed up and had no idea the time was changed. Had to call Viator and the tour company multiple times. Very stressful and unnecessary frustration. The did end up scheduling me for a tour that was an hour later but at that point I was exhausted and upset. No partial refund was given, no apologies!

A tragic part of history, VERY RELIABLE TOUR PROVIDER!

Morgan_H, Aug 2024

After one tour group basically stole our money for nothing received and never picked us up nor provided their "booklet", This company was absolutely top notch! Don't use anyone else. They picked us up in a Mercedes Mini Bus exactly on time and waited for sandwiches and then picked up everyone else on time. We then drove to Auschwitz , which is about an hour plus drive. It is a two part tour. Auschwitz is first. Everything you have always seen does not prepare you for the reality, which was much worse. Our guide, and the guide stays with you for the entire two parts was EXCELLENT. ( a lovely mid-aged dark haired and I think Sabrina or Maresca) I do not know how these guides revisit this horror every day in such a sensitive and caring manner. Then you travel a very short distance to Birkenau by the bus. This next part is even more walking and we both were struggling physically even though we are in good shape for our age. Everything the authorities could preserve after the Nazis tried to destroy the evidence, they did and still today, they continue their efforts. The scale is monumental of the death and havoc wreaked. The entire site was huge and you only see parts. The site stretches as far as you can see. Prepare yourself mentally and physically, but this is something everyone needs to see. Especially in the light of the mislabeling and deception done now in the current conflicts, by descendants of the people that were the first Mid East allies of Hitler. As he famous quote says, "Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it."

Highly recommend - great all around

Austin_S, Jun 2024

This tour was everything I hoped/expected and more and I would highly recommend to anyone considering booking with this company. Our bus ride there and back was very pleasant, the lunch was quite good, and most importantly our guide was phenomenal. She was incredibly knowledgeable, seemed to cover every small detail, and was even on numerous occasions answering private questions with me and others. It made such a visit very impactful and memorable.

Seeing is believing, a prayer for understanding, we all have it in us, wonderful country, people, food, drink,

A must visit historic trip.

The guide at the museum was very knowledgeable. The organisation of the whole day was fab with no waiting around. I’ve used Viator before and will be back.

Truly moving experience! A tour everyone should do.

NatalieChristine_C, Aug 2023

Incredibly emotional day but the tour was excellent. Communication prior to the tour was great. Transportation was provided was really nice and spacious. Bag Lunch was provided with an apple, banana, 2 ham sandwiches and a snack bar. It was filling. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Ride and driver were excellent; the visit could be improved.

Petra_M, May 2026

The driver was very nice, spoke excellent English, and navigated us very well through the traffic in Krakow, to Auschwitz and back. The tour itself could be improved. Unfortunately, the quality of the technology (microphone) was very poor, making it difficult to understand the text. Moreover, it is impossible to take the necessary time for reflection amidst the crowds being funneled through the exhibition, which is needed to give the horrific events the respect they deserve. I understand that there are many interested individuals who wish to visit Auschwitz, and I personally believe that visiting one of the memorial sites should be part of the mandatory program for European youth. However, I doubt that young people take much away from their visit to Auschwitz, as there is no time to truly absorb the experience. This is, however, not a criticism of the organizers of the visit; Auschwitz should consider solutions for this issue. Many heartfelt thanks to today's driver, Tuesday, June 26. Ride with 5 German guests to Auschwitz.

Enrichissant et émouvant

Mgane_P, May 2024

Il est indispensable d'avoir un/e guide pour ce genre de visite. Il y a plein d'informations cruciales et on passe à côté de beaucoup de choses sans un expert à nos côtés. La visite était très enrichissante et émouvante, je regrette seulement le rythme, un peu trop rapide par moment à mon goût et ne laissant pas le temps nécessaire au recueillement et à l'introspection que requiert le lieu.

Heldagsutflukt

Tove_S, Sep 2023

Guiden var kunnskapsrik og lett å forstå . Hele området var intresant å gå rundt i . Jeg hadde ikke trodd birkenau var så enormt stor . Så selve turen med hotel henting og busstransport fram og tilbake var bra . Det som trekker ned turen for min del er att det ikke er lagt inn lang nok spise pause midt på dagen . Pausen man har midt på dagen er alt for kort til å få kjøpt noe i kafé der . Det var lang kø der. Og jeg hadde bestilt turen med lunsj boks men denne ble ikke levert før vi skulle reise tilbake til by igjen . Sikkert en forglemmelse . Men allikevel trekker det turen ned .men selve omvisningen var veldig intresant
