What To Expect
Panstwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau
Visit KL Auschwitz 1. Walk through the iron gate bearing the notorious slogan Arbeit Macht Frei, which means Work Sets You Free. See 22 brick barracks, which were prison for hundreds of thousands of victims of the Holocaust. The most chilling is block number 11, the so-called prison within the prison. Block 11 contained special torture chambers including dark chambers or standing cells where various punishments were inflicted on prisoners. The first attempts to kill people with Zyklon B took place in this block. The only preserved crematorium and gas chamber is located at the end of the camp. After the visit to KL Auschwitz 1, travel in the minivan to KL Auschwitz 2 Birkenau. This part of the camp is 25 times larger than Auschwitz 1 and it was the largest of the death camps. Over 1,100,000 people were murdered here. Between 62 wooden barrack are the ruins of 4 crematoriums and gas chambers, which were destroyed by the Nazis in an effort to hide the evidence of their crimes.

Coughing to your ears. Plenty.

1.00Seek for another tour! Horrible. Our guide was slow, spoke almost understandable English and when it was understandable she repeated the same things over and over. The cherry on the top was that the guide we had to bear for the whole time coughed and sneezed to the mic all the time. We chose to escape the tour as soon as possible and created a better experience with internet sources (there are plenty) at Birkenau. I would steer away from this one unless my life was at stake.

4.00Very good guide who explained everything very well. We had booked this tour because of time but day before the tour was suddenly brought forward from 10:00 to 05:45!!! Really ridiculous. Afterwards it was okay but gave a set on the tour. Furthermore good mini of with enough legroom.
Well organiced and supported Tour

4.00Basic knowledge about WW II and german concentration camps is necessary to „feel“ it in the right way.
Tour was cancelled at extremely short notice

2.00Unfortunately, the booked tour was cancelled the night before at 8.30pm! There was also no alternative offered, such as a tour in English, which I asked explicitly for in the evening. Very annoying! I should have been warned about some reviews.
Why then and why still today

3.00A weird feeling that this has become too much of a tourist attraction. The guiding was very lack lustre, to be polite, with the headphone quality inadequate. We gave up with the guide and just did our own tour. We only started to feel the horror of it all over the following two days when we had time to contemplate what we had seen. The death wall has been turned into a shrine wish deflected thoughts away from the stark horror of the killings The history of the Jewish quarter and ghetto in Krakow added to the whole appalling story.
ABSOLUTELY TO ESCAPE

1.00We had booked a guided tour of Auschwitz two months in advance and organized our entire trip to Krakow around this tour. The day before (in the afternoon), the agency announces the outright cancellation of our tour. The only “solution” proposed: • a ride on another day (impossible for us due to our flights) • or visits in languages we do not speak, such as German. No serious alternative, no commercial gesture, no help to find another solution when cancellation comes entirely from their side. This is a total lack of professionalism and respect for customers. When you book such an important activity, months in advance, you expect at least reliability. If you want to visit Auschwitz serenely, do not take a tour with this agency. You may end up without a visit overnight.

1.00DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. we booked for a auschawitz tour at 12pm, we received a text the day before saying our booking had been moved to 7.45am. Not a time that was at all similar or close to what we had originally booked. Now we are unable to visit the last place on our holiday and our tickets have been booked for months. AVOID
