Firstly, our driver was amazing with our transport. Matthew was so happy and made the whole experience comfortable. The transport pick up was very punctual and he was very informative. The guide was very knowledgeable and we appreciated how she related this back to real people and their story’s. She even quoted passages from survivors books which was very impressive. The experience was eye opening for us and we would recommend doing this tour to all of our friends and family. Thank you.
A great tour to see both camps. We were able to skip the massive line at Aushwitz I too. Really good information from the guide. It's really impactive to see this in real life. On a side note, the main entrance at Berkanau (the famous photo) is covered up in a large tent in preparation for the freedom anniversary at the end of January, which also houses the museum so you miss a bit this time of year. Still a really good visit though and plenty to see!
