The tour was great and guide was fantastic- very knowledgeable and emotive. We were picked up outside our hotel and dropped off again in the afternoon which saved alot of hassle. I just felt a little rushed throughout the tour and would have liked to have a bit more time to go into some of the other buildings as I felt like we maybe missed some of the camp.

Very well organized by the tour operators. Communication was good, a day before we were informed about our pickup time and location. Jakob and his colleague were very helpful, the drive was comfortable to and fro. The packed veg lunch included a bottle of water, sandwich and cookies. The memorial itself is a must visit & I highly recommend this tour if you don't want to drive yourself.

Auschwitz and Birkenau tour

Overall great trip. Myself and my partner booked this trip approximately 15 hours before we went, it was confirmed within 1 hour of booking and a driver collected us from the hotel we were staying. We were taken to Auschwitz in a private vehicle being us 2 and the driver. Upon arriving we joined a group with a very knowledgeable English speaking tour guide. After Auschwitz tour we were taken to Birkenau for the second part of the tour and given a lunch bag with sandwich, biscuit and water. After Birkenau tour we were dropped at a location of our choice in Kraków. Very efficient I would highly recommend.
