I thought that for £7 this would get cancelled or be some kind of scam or it would turn out I’d booked transfers only - but it was a full day to both camps, we were self guided but we had a tour assistant who gave us plenty of information anyway and we had skip the line. Absolute bargain

I liked the ability to look at the exhibits freely. improvement would be to allocate 30 min less at the first camp, remove the long stop off in between and add this time to exporting Auchwitz as we were rushed to read through the materials.
