La communication pour nous expliquer où on était pris en charge, comment, et le planning de la journée était vraiment top. Notre conducteur s'assurait qu'on avait bien compris le déroulement, et nous a dit les choses à prioriser car le seul point "moins bien" est qu'il faudrait 2 jours pour visiter!

Had confirmation the night before, not 1-2 days as stated, the time was changed by 30mins. Not enough time to walk around Birkenau before getting the bus to Auschwitz. The site itself was an unforgettable experience

We waited two and a half hours for pick up and nobody came this is absolutely ridiculous and terrible service we could have used the time to do something else . It's freezing cold there are no toilets nearby and we didn't have any lunch. The day has been ruined we didn't get to the venue

Ended up with polish speaking guide due to time factors and consideration of the group as a whole but this did not detract from the experience. Driver/organiser was very friendly and punctual on pick up

The experience itself was great although I did not expect to have to queue for nearly 3 hours when I had pre-booked tickets. I think some people may have found this quite difficult so a heads up that it might occur would have been nice.

Original guided tour cancelled at last minute by tui, meaning all other guided tours were booked so we had to go for a self guided tour. No apology, or any attempt to make amends for this by tui Was not told at point of booking that we would have to queue at auscwitz to actually get tickets. Despite being picked up at 0815, we didn't actually enter the museum until 1300, leaving nowhere near enough time to get around the 2 sites and see everything. No tui staff to be seen anywhere.

I booked the Aushwitz tour with musement.com and I have to say that I really enjoyed going to Aushwitz. I would highly recommend the trip. Some parts are sad. Booking it with musement.com was so simple and would recommend booking with them.

An amazing but awful place to visit, very humbling. Jacob my tour guide was very helpful and friendly and made everything clear. Unfortunately I didn’t realise how much walking was involved, I knew there would be some but never the amount experienced, so please make sure you’re able to manage.

Negatives-pick up time changed to early inconvenient time. Not enough time given to look around the camps.
Positive-the guide and driver very organised and helpful.
Wish I booked a guided tour instead. The lack of time and reading the booklet to see where you are took away from the experience.

It was such a surreal and interesting experience! Our guides on the coach gave us such helpful information and always made sure we understood the plan of action due to it being a self guided tour. 10/10

Comfortable journey with the excellent guide, Kris. Kris gave us clear instructions as well as interesting facts /insights at various locations before we were dropped off at Birkenau. Having a self-guided tour was perfect - we could go at our own pace and take time to reflect where we wanted.

Our driver Mark was really lovely and was full of information. The day of our tour it was 30c, on our return to Mark he had bottles of water for us all. Mark went above and beyond for us as my nephew left his cap in his car. Mark returned it to us the following evening to our hotel.

Auschwitz war intressant, das meiste war mir aber bereits bekannt, ein zwei gute Dokumentationen im Tv reicht eigentlich.
Die aufhäufung der Schuhe und Koffer sah in den Dokumentationen im Tv grösser aus! die Kleidungstücke wurden auf einer schrägen Fläche so ausgestellt dass es nach mehr aussieht.

Avevo prenotato per visita con audio guide ( così come riportato anche sul voucher) ma durante il transfert da Cracovia ci hanno consegnato guida cartacea da restituire alla fine del tour.
