insanely well organised. I was called + got a message the day before for the exact pick up location and time (we had to walk like 4 minutes). The bus then left on time, our guide picked us up in front of the bus, we visited Auschwitz first, then a short bus drive to Birkenau. 20 minutes after we left back to Auschwitz and around 7.5 hours later we were back home.

Everything was on schedule, guide was clear with his instructions and the air conditioning in the bus was greatly appreciated. Tour in the Auschwitz and Birkenau was a bit hasty (especially at the Birkenau camp), but this was most probably due to the hot weather. Our guide on the site was again very informative but there was no interaction between the group and the guide but one could experience the scale and conditions of both of the Auschwitz camps. My recommendation would be that if you have basic or above knowledge of the site try to book one of the more in depth tours or even a private tour for a more interactive and in depth experience. Be very mindful of the weather conditions. During hot weather there is not that much shade and even inside of the buildings temperature can rise to around 40 celsius.

Trip was organized very nicely. The guide was very friendly and informative, you could have seen she knew a lot about the topic. The only annoying issue is that they moved our time from 11 to 6:45, which was very annoying, as we have arrived to the city at night..

The tour was well organised and ran on time. The transport was very nice and comfortable. The guide was very knowledgeable and smoothly ran us through everything. There was a good pace to the information which was important given the context, it would have been easy to get upset by what was being witnessed, but the steady flow of commentary prevented us from reflecting too much and getting distracted in misery.

The guides were all very informative and well prepared. They could get through the terrible message of the lager very effectively. I appreciated the organization and the pickups by shuttle bus, although our tour was as anticipated by 1 hour, it didn’t affect us much and actually left us more afternoon time.

Would highly recommend this minivan trip to Auschwitz. We had chosen to be picked up at 11am but were contacted the evening before by our driver to say he would collect us at 8am instead, which wasn't a problem for us. We were collected from our apartment on time, the driver spoke great English and wore a mask. The minivan was modern and clean. We collected another family then set off to Auschwitz. It was a pleasant drive and everyone wore masks. Upon arrival at Auschwitz our driver took us through the entry point where we were handed over to a museum guide. She was fabulous, had lots of knowledge and was very respectful. The pace was ideal for us, we didn't feel rushed. We had a 10min break to eat the lunch we had brought with us then went back to our driver who took us to Auschwitz 2 where the same museum guide was waiting for us. After being shown around here our driver was waiting outside for us and took us back to Krakow.

The guide very very good but having canceled the tour the day before and having to pay the difference, I absolutely do not accept it !!

An excellent tour, with many things to see, consider bringing something to eat because it is too long. Inside the field the guide leaves a lot to be desired as he is totally unrelated to the transfer.

We were notified of our pick up time the day before and we were picked up on time. - Comfortable vehicle for journey. - 10 minute comfort break before the tour of the first camp. - Given receiver and headphones to ensure we could hear our guide. - Great guide. - Another 10 minute comfort break before travelling to the second camp. - Tour with the same guide. This trip is a must do when visiting Krakow. There was a lot to take in on the visit and the tour was very respectfully done. We were told to bring a packed lunch but weren't given time to eat it. This was probably for the best as we didn't have much of an appetite after what we had seen.

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.
