This is fantastic; it's an absolute must-see in Poland. The tour was a little rushed but enjoyable all the same and well worth doing.

I have wanted to do this trip for years and travelled to Krakow just to see Auschwitz. I wasn't disappointed. It was very moving, and the guided tour was much better than going it alone, although at times I did feel a little hurried. However, the bus arrived punctually and took us to the coach. This trip was very well organised and went amazingly well. I would recommend this tour company for any tour. Well done. Thank you.

We booked a trip on the internet for Auschwitz and it was everything we thought it would be. Booking was very easy and we were sent a reminder to print our voucher which we needed to give to the bus driver. We were picked up from our own hotel on time and transferred to a central meeting point where people split up for different trips. Our trip was excellent and we had a very good guide for both the camps who explained everything in great detail. I had read some reviews where people said you did not have enough of time in one or other camp, but I can honestly say this was not the case for us. We enjoyed our trip so much that we booked again for the salt mines the next day and this was equally as enjoyable.

Anyone traveling to Krakow should take this tour. Words cannot describe the emotions felt viewing the camps. Keep the memory of what happened here alive, lest we forget.

I have given this trip 4 stars, but the description "absolutely loved it" is not appropriate. It was a very disturbing experience. However, it was an important thing to do as we must never forget man's inhumanity to man. The guide was excellent, although more time was needed to do justice to the visit. It is unlikely I will ever wish to return there, as it was so overwhelming, but I am glad I've been.

Everything worked as it should. We took our 16-year-old son because we believe that all young people should learn of the wickedness that allowed such maniacs to rule a large part of the formerly free world.

Very depressing, but well worth the time. Shows man's inhumanity to man.

The tour was very interesting especially if you are into history at all. The start of the tour was very chaotic since no one knew what was happening mostly the tour operators and we were trying to figure out which buses to take, but after that was sorted out it was a good trip.

"Loved it" is not the best choice of words in the rating column, but this is definitely a must-see.

The trip was very well organised, with the coach exactly where it should have been and at the correct time. Auschwitz is a must visit place, to ensure that history does not relive itself.

This was the highlight of our European trip. The guides were informative and non-commercialized.

A very sobering experience.

It was well organized, the guide took his time and was clear. We are looking back at a nice weekend in Krakow, even if the reason to go there wasn't a pretty one.
