Krakow Tours & Excursions

The guide was very informative and gave us so much information. The tour was excellent and so moving!

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.

Having read many books and watching many many movies I thought I was prepared. I was so mistaken. You can never prepare for the overwhelming feelings walking the same grounds as those murdered, forced to work, being starved to death and those who liberated. The sights, sounds, smells I’m sure haunted their dreams. It was 30+ degrees out the day we went and walking the concrete corridor to the starting point I was covered in goosebumps. Our guide was incredible and left us with a closing I will not ever forget. We must never forget those who died or those who survived. May they all rest in peace

On a whole it was a very good day! It was very interesting and the guide was very good. We would have preferred if the salt mines had been done last though, as it was a very hot day, and we were out in it at Auschwitz at the hottest part of the day! It made for a very very sweaty tour!! Also we would have liked more time to explore Auschwitz birkenau on our own after the tour as it was huge and we were only shown a tiny portion of it!
