Traveler Reviews

Wow what can I say, …….both tours were excellent and very informative. The Auschwitz-Birkenau tour was both emotional and informative, it was definitely pitched at the right level. Although we can never truly understand what the detainees went through in the camps, its important we never forget the horrors that occurred. If your going to Krakow then Auschwitz it a must. As there was a fair bit of walking on both tours, it was a blessing to have a private car which was comfortable, clean and at our disposal. The driver was great, he was punctual in picking us up at the hotel on the morning and shared lots of additional information regarding Auschwitz. This was an excellent tour and I would totally recommend it.
