5.00This was a great tour and our tour guide, Lucas, for the Auschwitz part, shared a lot of information with us. Our driver was very clear and kept us updated throughout the day. We found the salt mine interesting. Good idea to have a light jumper as it can be cold in parts.
Trip date not updated by viator

3.00The trip it's self was good however it was ruined by the fact we changed the date to Thursday 18th the week before we travelled due to a late flight and plans with other members of the party, the day before we travelled the provider messaged us to say that viator had not updated the trip and we had to go on Wednesday the 17th, this meant we had 3 hrs sleep before the trip after arriving late the night before and we missed the chance to spend time with a member of our family as they was going home on the Thursday.
Very powerful, a must do...

5.00This is an all day trip and well worth it! Our guide, Anna, was superb. Very sobering to visit the camps and see where it happened. Salt mine tour was amazing! Just long enough in time for a truly memorable experience.
Wonderful tour of a difficult subject.

Not your typical tourist attraction

5.00It was definitely a full day visiting 3 locations, but well worth it. Your mindset also has to adjust along the way as the experiences are much different from concentrations camps to a salt mine, of course.
