Things to do in Poland

an experience that must be lived 100%, our guide took us to a place unfortunately with a sad history, managing to tell us with great enthusiasm about facets that don't always come to light, a truly experience not to be missed

everything went smoothly- you get sent a time when they pick you up. its about an hour 30 min drive I believe to the first stop. you get bathroom and coffee breaks if you did not have breakfast. the concentration camp itself well words really can't describe, so I will try. very unreal experience to see what these poor victims had to go through. There is a guide that will take over and go through both camps. so extremely sad your lunch you can honestly eat whenever: there is like two sandwiches, water, juice, apple, a bar and mentos gum. really highly recommend to go.

The trip was great. The bus picked us up on the near bus station and took us to Auschwitz 1 and later to Auschwitz 2. The ride was comfortable and the guide was really nice. We were also very satisfied with lunchboxes (sandwiches with hummus and with ham, apples and chocolate bars). We wouldn't change a thing about the whole thing :)

When buying the tickets for the tours we thought it would be great but actually experiencing it exeeded all our expectations. Visiting Auschwitzs was a tough experience but we thought it was an important thing to do to make sure we never forget. We also had a wonderful guide who showed empathy for the ones who lost their lives and to the once who suffered on the grounds, while doing a great job giving us lots of information.

The day was lovely , our guide so so knowledgeable, our driver so so friendly , polite and helpful . Don’t think our day would of been as organised and informative without the 2 of them

The day before the trip, we received a call and they confirmed the pickup time. Our driver Peter arrived on time and took us straight there. Was great to skipped the security queue, there were many school parties that day. Finally the tour was conducted by a fluent English speaker. Happy to recommend.

The trip was long but that something we knew and we enjoyed it. The bus driver she was awesome such a good driving skills and so polite. The guide we had at the auschwitz was very well trained and she knew the place so well that she provided very good informations for the whole day. Salt mines very good too something we never saw and we where surprised. Thanks for everything guys

So you have to have a guide when you go to Auschwitz Birkenau. You can go alone, but I don’t know how you would do it because all I saw our group led by guides. The guys have told as in either history or language. Our guide was a woman from Poland, and her grandfather was in conscripted to work at Auschwitz. She was very knowledgeable, and let us through the camps with confidence, and she was easy to understand.
