The tour was booked in advance for us by our travel agent. We were picked up on time from another hotel around the corner from us. The coach was clean (brand new) and comfortable. A very friendly and knowledgeable guide accompanied us on the coach. During the journey there was a documentary shown on the history of Auschwitz. On arrival at Auschwitz 1, we were given around 30 minutes to visit the toilets and purchase refreshments at the restaurant. It was very very busy with long queues (I would recommend taking a packed lunch which some hotels supply, to save queuing). For the tour you go in smaller groups with a tour guide, you are given headsets so you can hear what is said. Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate. My review is not of Auschwitz itself (for that I have no words, only great sadness). After Auschwitz 1 there is a 10 minute break for the toilets, then onto Auschwitz 2, Birkenau. It was very cold and bleak. I didn’t complete this tour due to my mobility, it’s a long walk. For those that did, on return it was a very quick toilet break again before climbing back on board for the return journey. The only criticism I would have is that the breaks are short. But I think this is out of control of the tour company due to time constraints at Auschwitz itself, there are thousands of visitors so I think tours are strictly timed.

Amazing Tour with very knowledgeable guide

Excellent trip, was collected from a nearby hotel. Guided through the tour as its a very busy place. Then onto Birkenau which was bleak but informative.

A Must Do

This tour was booked for us but we have no complaints. We were picked up by a taxi bus and taken to the main coach which then took us to Auschwitz. The Tour Guide had so much knowledge and was very passionate - you are given headsets which are brilliant. Be prepared to take a little bit of this history away in your heart it is a very moving place. Birkenau was also very interesting and it was eerie to stand on the platform where the prisoners got off the trains.

Very moving

A must see to make sure that it can never happen again.
Only drawback was that the bus was 30 minutes late picking us up which had a knock-on effect at Auschwitz – our guide, whilst being very knowledgeable, was continually rushing us through to make up time. This resulted in us not being able to take in some of it properly and to by-passing many areas. The Birkenau part is almost completely outdoors and is without the aid of the headsets - that were so important for the group going around Auschwitz – hundreds of other visitors make it difficult to hear otherwise.

Brilliant guides, amazing day but one major disappointment at the end

This started off as a great day. Bus picked up up at right place, right time and there was a very lovely girl called Matilda who was very helpful. Trip was 16th November 2019 (today) Auschwitz tour and birkenau tour was amazing. Male guide and translator were both equally excellent. Really well performed and explained everything in detail. Did not miss a beat and were very good at explaining everything that happened. Only massive disappointment to the whole day was they dropped us in a different location (city centre) on return and had no idea how to get back to hotel. Matilda did explain how to get there which was great but we got lost, couldn’t find our hotel at all and it was very dark and we were lost in Poland. Managed to find way back to where we were dropped off and went into Radisson hotel where to our surprise the rest of our party were all looking equally lost and confused. After a few giggles, everybody said that was a disappointment but thankfully a lovely Male desk clerk of the hotel looked up our hotels on google and phoned taxis for us which we had to pay for but as it was pitch black we all agreed. Got back to our own hotel thankgod.
That was the only thing that let the day down. In future I wouldn’t drop off tourists in a different location to where they were picked up to because nobody knew where to go.
