They were at the pick up point on time and actually checked if everyone was inside the bus at each stop. They ended up changing the time (from 11 to 7:55), but it was mentioned that it could happen so it wasn’t a big deal for me because I kept the whole day “free” for this tour which I really wanted to do. The guide was helpful and explained a lot for us during the visit. I was able to safely leave some things inside the bus while we visited the museum. I recommend!

The overall experience was good. The 5am pick up was a struggle but necessary to get an English guide. Lots of info and historical facts

Full description

Auschwitz-Birkenau was founded in 1940 by Nazi Germany and was the largest concentration camp operated by the Nazis. It became the final resting place for millions of people, mostly Jews and Poles, who were murdered in gas chambers. Pass through the gate with the inscription "Arbeit macht frei" to enter Auschwitz I, where your guide will show you around the preserved area and explain the history of the site.  Then, visit the second camp at Birkenau, where mass killings took place as part of the Nazi "Final Solution to the Jewish Question."
