Group was quite a number of people all ages. The guide stopped at regular intervals to explain about things which was great whilst we had the head sets. It became more difficult at Birkenau as no headsets were used. We are at the upper end of the age range and at Birkenau that we had difficulty keeping up with the group and we were often holding every one up as the guide waited for up to catch up.

It was amazing, best experience I've ever had regarding visiting a museum/location. It's a "must see once in a life", no one should miss this opportunity.

Full description

Avoid queues and save time on your visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau with skip-the-line tickets. Be met in Auschwitz I Museum by a local host who will accompany you to the museum and give you tips on how to best plan your visit to the museum. Pass through the ominous "Arbeit Macht Frei" (work will set you free) sign at the main entrance gate and follow your authorized official Auschwitz-Birkenau guide through Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II–Birkenau to take in the camp's emotional nature while learning the somber story of the place. Take your tour for around 3.5 hours with 1.5-2 hours at Auschwitz and 60-75 minutes at Birkenau.
