From start of my booking till the end of my trip I cannot praise (get your guid) enough for the excellent communication for my trip. The guide was amazing and she done an excellent job. Explained every detail of our trip from the beginning to the end I praise her for doing such a good job, she is a credit to your company. The price was much cheaper than any other company I looked at. The bonus was unexpected that the price of the my trip to Auschwitz included Birkenau as well. And felt very safe and secure with driver and tour guide. Thank you

With a tour like this you can't help but to have a sense of dread about everything you're going to hear and see. Therefore, the fact that all the arrangements were done really well and all we needed to do was focus on the tour, was great! The tourguide was perfect! Cool, calm and collected, she told the horror-story of everything that happened in Auschwitz-Birkenau in a perfectly no-nonsens way. Thanks!

We went early in the morning, taking advantage of the discounted rates. It proved to be an excellent choice as the crowds were still scarce. The tour proceeded seamlessly, and the guide was highly knowledgeable, providing a clear understanding of the history of Auschwitz. Furthermore, we appreciated the small van used for transportation instead of a large bus. We returned by 2:00 PM, which allowed us sufficient time to explore other attractions in Krakow, such as the salt mine.
