My mother and I booked were picked up promptly from our hotel and safely driven to Stutthof Concentration camp. There our driver introduced us to our guide. The tour itself was moving and informative. We had a little time afterwards to roam the camp alone wherever we needed to. Both our guide and our driver had fantastic English and were extremely friendly.

we were collected by a lovely guy, Simon. precise time as prearranged from our hotel. our guide Christina was a very knowledgeable lady, we enjoyed the tour and as its Winter time it wasnt so busy. would definitely recommend.

Christina was a very informative and knowledgeable guide. There were only two of us so it was like a private tour. The early morning start was perfect as the castle was not crowded.

The guide was really informative. It was a great experience. Transfer was around 45 minutes and the driver was also informative about Poland in general.

Prompt pickup, guide was knowledgeable and able to answer extra questions.
