The experience was absolutely amazing & a once in a lifetime. From the moment we stepped inside Auschwitz-Birkenau it was a harrowing experience, but very interesting. Every building bared the truth of what happened during WW2 (1939-1945) with artifacts or information. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Auschwitz-Birkenau is worth a visit for evyerone (at least once) even if you aren't interested in history. Also keep in mind its not really a place to take heaps of photos (as it meant to be a memorial). In addition, don't be surprised if you don't feel like eating afterwards. Afer our visit we were so overwhelmed that we couldn't eat for a number of hours.

Couldn’t rate this experience any less than 5* !! Takes your breath away, surreal experience. A must do when in Poland. Our hotel booked ours for us & we had no complaints. Both tour guides were fab. Highly recommended

Picked up promptly from apt, lovely driver. Tour was emotional and informative must do trip for anyone visiting krakow. Matt our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate.

Not to be missed for many reasons. Thought provoking brings the atrocities to life rather than reading about it. All highly respectful. Memories that will remain with me.

What an experience, really recommended doing this, we did the English walking tour. Learnt so much history this day. Unbelievably sad.

We took the tour from our hotel and the journey took about an hour from our hotel in the centre of Kraków. Had little idea what to expect and agree with previous posts about the volume of people and lack of appropriate facilities although this seems a little insensitive when faced with the horrors we learned about what the prisoners had to face whilst they were there. The commentary was informative if a little rushed although this was understandable due to the sheer volume of visitors. We first visited Auschwitz 1 and the tour was sensitive but lacked time for reflection to the horrors that were being described. The most moving part I found was the photos displayed of some of the victims, with their haunted looks and their occupations, date of entry to the camp and then their demise sometimes only weeks later. The second part of the tour moved to Birkenau which was on a larger scale, but again was extremely moving. It was a moving tour and generally well managed - my criticisms are personal but I would not have missed the opportunity to visit this place and pay my respects to the innocent victims of genocide.

Booked a trip with Getyourguide.com The trip was excellent value for money. The guide on the mini bus was very friendly and and the guide for Auschwitz/Birkenau was very friendly and very informative

What a very emotional and humbling experience this tour was. Have seen it on TV many times but to be actually be there and experience the size of it was astounding. The displays are beautifully done and exhibits heartbreaking at times.

This is a must see tour,guides are wonderful,english commentry whilst you walk round,dont want to spoil it but just go.

My friends and I were on the tour in a group of about 20. Before you enter there are boards around giving you an insight to the horrors that happened and also boards with real survivors stories on them, take the time to read them, we were given about 25 mins to do this before going in the camp, take the time to read the real stories. Our guide was Luke, his KNOWLEDGE and his ENGLISH were EXCELLENT. The facts of what actually happened here and the cruelty these evil men inflicted upon these poor innocent people filled me with overwhelming sadness. Seeing the personal belongings is heartbreaking, I will never forget this trip and have taken a lot from it. We all know the horrors of what happened but to actually go and see it brings the reality of it home to you.. I really believe that everyone should go and experience this tour..

Everyone in the whole of the world must travel to Auschwitz and Birkenau to see the horrors of what humans can do to other human beings. A very sad place. Most of the time is spent in Auschwitz before moving on to Birkenau but the story is linked so remember what you were told in Auschwitz. If you are unsteady on your feet this is a tough walk. I thought it was a bit rushed to be fair with no time to stand and reflect before being ushered on to the next stage of the tour. It seems disrespectful to sound like I am complaining. I'm not complaining as such but the impression was that they wanted to get you through so the next lot could get in and they wanted as many through as possible rather than allowing people time during the visit to read the information and look at the exhibits. We were asked not to take pictures at various place and I agree that pics should not be taken as they said it was disrespectful.

Auschwitz-Birkenau Nazi Concentration Camp Museum DayTrip from Warsaw. It is a hair-Raising Experience... its amazing how cruel Humans Beings can be... but it´s an interesting part of History, and an unforgettable learning experience... Auschwitz-Birkenau is made of two camps. The tours usually include both. We left from Warsaw by a Private car from "Get Your Guide" Tours. It was a very long trip. Four hours drive each way lasting a total of 15 hours from early in the morning to night. The car picked us up in our hotel and brought us back. You can also take this tour from Krakow, which is much closer than Warsaw. Although very tiring, I recommend it. What a different experience! It will touch your heart ! !

We drove ourselves but bought jump the queen tickets we visited both Auschwitz ii and Birkenau - we had an English guide who explained the images and chatted about the atrocities - very thought provoking trip - would definitely recommend

This trip was a must do whilst in Kraków. Our driver and guides were both excellent. We were provided with headsets and given a tour in English. The trip was sad but so glad we visited

Fantastically organised, and my tour guide had amazing knowledge and presented herself perfectly at two emotional campsites. You wear headsets at Auschwitz but not at Birkenau. Wear comfortable footwear, Birkenau was mainly outside. You can’t eat or drink during the tours but you can during the break outside, snack bar and toilets on site. Take change 2 PLN for the toilets. It was extremely upsetting to see how the prisoners were treated!
