In our opinion it was a humbling but very important experience to have been part of. We were all pleased that we had done this tour. Our driver to and from, Sebastian, was very good as was our guide at Auschwitz, he was superb; sadly cannot recall his name (08:50 English speaking tour on Sunday 5th October) There is just one criticism in that between Viator and the tour company used, they really should clarify an exact time for pick up, and not just a few hours before the tour, as our booking told us 07:30 but Sebastian had it as 07:05. Apparently a message was sent to me the evening before but I did not see this until after 7am. Luckily Sebastian was very good about it, realising this error, that had happened to him previously on other occasions.
Perfect tour

Our driver Stanislav was wonderful. Patient and careful driver. He directed us exactly where to go and was ready for pickup at the conclusion of both tours. Our tour guide at Auschwitz and Birkenau was great. Explained the history and back story in a solemn and respectful manner. Would recommend this tour to everyone!

It was a very busy day with strong emotions starting from the entrance to the camp along which the names of deportees who did not survive are listed. The very good Guide gave us exhaustive explanations on every corner visited with the tour. It really is a blast from the past and we hope it stays that way forever
