Fantastic, albeit for terrible reasons. Very moving, everybody should bear witness to this atrocity. It is all of our responsibility to ensure this type of thing is never allowed to happen again.

The trip to Auschwitz - Birkenau was too moving to express, but as ever very well organised. Enjoyed the Salt mine and a not to be missed experience if ever in Krakow.

Excellent value for money. Comfortable coach and very pleasant tour co-ordinator who spoke excellent English (as we don't speak Polish). Had a great day out and a very emotional tour of Auschwitz and Birkenau. The guide Auschwitz provided was exceptional in her knowledge and demeanor and she injected the exact amount of emotion that was required. All in all a great experience. Would recommend to anyone. We were picked up from within a 2 minute walk of our apartment and dropped back the same. We had considered doing the Auschwitz/Birkenau and Salt Mine trip on the same day but I am glad that we didn't as this was quite exhausting by itself.

Highly recommend this tour. Very well organised and very informative. If you want more time then would be best to do this on your own but personally this went a a good pace and the guide was excellent.
I would definitely advise you take the guided tour. Auschwitz-Birkenau should be a reminder to us all how evil people can be and that we should never let history repeat itself.

Great Tour, the pick up location was close to our hotel in Krakow. It was well organized and the guide was great. Such a sobering experience, but it is a must see.

Never used Viatour before but as going to Krakow on a very short trip with lots to cram in thought it was best to book ahead. Saw sowmone else who had done the same and was very happy and so was I ! Very well organised with Greyline Travel in Poland. Trip was on time and with excellent guides. Mini Coach for Auschwitz and minibus for Saltmines. Good vlaue by booking ahead and took away all worry.
Auschwitz-Barkenau was very well organised. Its very busy but local guide was excellent source of knowledge and gave a good insight into the history of both camps and what is a very harrowing part of history.
The Saltmines is also interesting but a word of warning and is lots of walking. Great insight into the economy of the area and some amazing caverns.

This was a very moving trip but something every one should experience to help try to understand the harrowing time these people were put through. Please God this will not happen again

A detailed, fascinating yet harrowing experience at Auschwitz and well worth the visit. The salt mines were equally as interesting and superseded expectations. Both trips a must see for anyone visiting the Krakow region.

Highly emotional tour with the guides there helping us to understand as best we can what life must really have been like in the camps. Everyone who visits Poland should make the time to go here.

Both tours were very good. You can't really say that you 'enjoyed' Auschwitz as it's a harrowing thing to take on board. However the tour was well organised,with a good informative guide. The harshness of the situation was emphasized for us on the day we visited as it was snowing and very cold.The tour to the salt mines was also very well organised. The tour guide was good and amusing! I would thoroughly recommend these tours and feel they were very good value as well.
