Could have made better use of the available media to better illustrate the full horror.

4.00Our driver, Kacper, was really excellent. Spot on timing, careful driving, informative and personable. The visit to Auschwitz/Birkenhau was harrowing and well organised. We did a two hour tour and the guide was ok. There is a lot to see and it is harrowing, emotional and powerful. Guide was ok, but group sizes (c.30) were probably too big and at time it seemed a tad rushed. Additionally, there is so much video data available - for example that shown at the Nuremberg trials - which could have been used to powerful effect. In my view, there is a lot of scope to better illustrate the full horror.
Great.

5.00We had an exceptional experience during our guided visit to Auschwitz. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. A private driver, Kacperro, picked us up directly from our hotel, which made everything very easy and comfortable. He drove us to the site and brought us back after the visit. Kacperro was extremely friendly, professional, and very pleasant. He also took the time to give us many great recommendations for our stay, which we really appreciated. The guided tour of Auschwitz itself was very informative, moving, and perfectly managed. It is a powerful experience that we highly recommend. Many thanks for the impeccable organization and the quality of the service!

5.00Very nice visit. We had Kacperro as a private driver. We had a lot of fun driving with him: he is punctual, friendly and the car was very clean. He speaks very good English and was very careful on the road. We recommend it with confidence.
Marcante.

5.00Our driver Mathew was efficient and organised and would definitely use Mathew again. Tickets were organised for us and he directed us through to the English tour group - The tour of Auschwitz- which is organised by the actual camp facility is terrible - you can’t visit the camp without being a part of their tour - there’s too many people - you’re treated like cattle - our guide was suppose to be English speaking - I’m guessing English was a 4th language for her. There’s no time to look and reflect - it’s a travesty -
Tour was very informative, our driver was extremely knowledgeable. Learned a lot about history and current events.

5.00Our driver was a world of knowledge, it was a great experience to also understand a little more about Poland 🇵🇱 and its history including your perspective. Our actual tour of the camps was very overwhelming, the scale of the operation was extreme. This topic was spoken about in discussions however we have never seen face to face so to speak. Very important and informative piece of history, which does repeat itself through time. Thank you again. L&T

5.00From the beginning when I booked our tour to Auschwitz everything went smoothly. I received updates/reminders of upcoming tour which was very helpful and reassuring. Our tour guide Matthew was helpful and attentive throughout the tour. I would use and highly recommend Viator to anyone looking for a fun, detailed event
We were picked up outside our hotel and driven to Aischwitz museum. The ride was relaxing and every detail was in place

5.00Matthew made our experience getting to Auschwitz totally seamless and did it with professionalism and ease. Matthew was easy to work with from the minute we met until drop off. I would highly recommend Matthew and would want his guidance again on our next excursion.
