Review summary

Was a well organised tour and good value for money. We arrived before the crowds and had little to no time to wait for our tickets/ entry into both the salt mines and Aushwitz. The tour guides were both good but at points it was hard to hear / understand them but that is not a fault of this specific tour as the guides were provided by the venues. It was very informative and eye-opening and I would recommend.

Probably too much too take in properly all in one day. We found the Auschwittz visit quite clinical and very much turned into a tourist attraction and not helped by a guide who was so quietly spoken that you had to strain to understand her, despite having the headsets at full volume.

We had a great day doing all of the tours. The driver was very helpful and the tour guides were great. We didn’t have to queue to get any tickets as these were all sorted for us. The dinner they provided was very nice and they were even able to cater for my boyfriends nut allergy which was great! Overall a great day and experience with amazing hospitality. Would 100% recommend.
