5.00I’ll start by telling to request Philip. His English is very good and he knows his subject matter. The tour Auschwitz was sobering. This was mass murder on an industrial scale. It must be seen. Wieliczka Salt mine is also a must see. The miners have created several works of art in the walls of this mine. Wear good shoes for both tours. I have almost 18K steps and the day isn’t over. My feet are tired! But, even with rain, it was a great day
A must do trip!
