What a wonderful adventure. The tour operators were very helpful and flexible with making changes to our pickup arrangements. They are experts. Special recognition to Maciek, our driver. He was spectacular! Our pickup and drop off times were within one minute of the projected schedule for our 12-hour journey. He was so pleasant, courteous, and provided all the information needed for our tour. He is a “five-star” person. Thank you also to Michal and the rest of the tour guides. Highly recommend this them when visiting Warsaw. Thank you.
Great tour

The experience was amazing. My only complaint would be that when I booked the experience all the reviews I read said pick up was around 7-8 am. The reason I decided to pay more was for the later pickup as all the other tours started much earlier. However, we didn’t get our pickup time until the day before and it was at 4:50am. We had reservations for dinner the night before that I couldn’t cancel so we were very exhausted on the tour. We were told also that during the summer there could be pick ups as early as 3am so just be mindful of that. Other than the pick up time, the tour was great and Agnes was amazing.

While visiting Auschwitz is difficult, Oskar, our tour guide at the camp, was terrific. He is probably one of the best guides that I have had in terms of providing historical context during a tour. I highly recommend this tour for anyone seeking to learn more about this critical time in our history.
