I’ll leave you to make up your own mind after visiting this place. For me it was a very sobering experience. Excellent communication from travel company, prompt pick up, clean vehicle, clean and safe driving in difficult weather conditions, knowledgeable driver, excellent tour guide.

beautiful trip with a lovely guide who gave such detailed information. The castle was lovely and the gardens were beautiful. The tunnels were very interesting

The rock formations are stunning and it is an amazing place to visit. It was a little crowded, but not enough to spoil our visit. Our main problem was working out how to visit and so I thought that I would write this review to help others. My daughter and I are travelling around the Czech Republic, using public transport. We stayed in Trutnov for 2 nights informer to spend a day at the national park. When we got there, I checked Google Maps to find out how to get there. I had originally planned the trip nearly a way ago and completely forgotten the finer details. According to Google Maps there was no way to get there. There were no buses or trains. We went to the tourist office and was told that there was actually a train that went every 2 hours but had we booked? I had no idea that you had to book and so quickly went to the park website and the one time slot available was 5pm. The last train back was at 7.44pm and so I would have barely any time there. I asked if there was anything else I could do in the area and was told no. I was devastated because we had only come to that town to see the rocks. I spent ages online and eventually discovered that there was a very simple and better way to see them. Get off the train one stop after Adrspach at Teplice Nad Metuji Skaly. It is just another couple of minutes. Leave the station and turn left. After a couple of minutes you will arrive at an area of stalls. Use the (free) public toilet and buy a ticket for the park. There are no timed entries here. We walked all the way through to the Adsprach side. If you don't want to walk that far, the rocks on the Teplice side are just as good and there are not the crowds that there are on the Adsprach side.

Sean was a wonderful guide, very friendly and informative. A great combination of food drink and history. Feel like we made a friend.

I highly recommend booking the Auschwitz-Birkenau Day Tour through Viadrina. Our guide, Mathias, picked us up promptly from our hotel and coordinated getting the English guided tour tickets through the Auschwitz Memorial and Museum so that all we had to do was show up. He was a great driver in the rainy weather and we appreciated the history of Wroclaw, Lower Silesia, and Lesser Poland he provided along our drive. Note that there were only two of us plus Mathias for our drive and we were picked up in a small car. I'm not sure if Viadrina ever does bus tours. As we neared Auschwitz, Mathias offered to stop for a quick breakfast before starting our 8am tour which was also appreciated. Last comment I'll make - we called Viadrina to book our tickets last minute due to a scheduling error and Viadrina/Mathias were incredibly helpful in organizing a last minute day tour for us! While I don't recommend booking last minute, it shows that Viadrina will go above and beyond for their customers.

One of the most amazing experiences in my life, our tour guide Mathias was brilliant and made us feel comfortable. He told us about different places along the journey. I would highly recommend booking this experience if you’re visiting Poland.

It was an amazing but moving experience at Auschwitz and Birkenau day trip. Adam, the driver who picked us up from the apartment in Wroclaw was so friendly and full of information to share with us along the way up to Auschwitz. He is well informed and knows well the history of the place. During our 3hr drive to and from Auschwitz he stopped us twice each way for a toilet and coffee break. The guide lady (sorry I forgot her name) was very well informed too and shared her knowledge of the place outstandingly. Well done to everyone and thank you for this once in a lifetime experience 🙏

Great tour Matt went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable transfer, had great knowledge of the local area and the tour of Auschwitz was very informative would well and truly recommend

The tour was unforgettable and we had a very good guide and driver. Matt was very helpful and provided us with a lot of interesting information.

Maciej was a great guide. I was alone, but he made it very comfortable and was able to get me to the site to make the first tour. The tour itself is extremely busy, so a bit hard to fully take in the reality of the site. But the educator on the tour was also great. It is definitely a tour worth doing.

The tour was perfectly arranged. They showed us some stuff that was not included in the ticket as well. Highly recommend!

Beautiful place with lots of history which was well revealed by our very nice guide! Somewhat difficult to find the real door of the entrance!

Amazing experience. Beautiful views. Would definitely recommit going to this hidden gem. The boat trip was also a good experience.

What a lovely day this was. Adam, our driver, had a unique perspective having been born in the US, but living in Poland since he was 12. The greenhouse was a green retreat of tropical plants. The underground tunnels more interesting than I expected, but the highlights were the castle and the Peace Church. Be prepared to walk over 100 steps down to and up from the tunnels, plus up and down three flights of stairs in the castle. The audio tour was informative. Emphasizing the last family to own and live in it added another dimension to the many other World War l and ll museums we have been to on this trip.

Wonderful trip with a knowlegable guide. Lots of great food and beer. Not too tiring and can easily get round the park in 2 hours
