Very good guided tour—but too short The tour was organized top-notch, we were picked up on time, and we received plenty of relevant information about the visit in advance. The guided tour through Auschwitz 1 was very informative, and even the emotionally harrowing accounts were conveyed respectfully and in well-measured doses. Then came an unplanned, long break before heading into the Auschwitz 2 Birkenau camp, as a group ahead of us was running late. When we finally went to Camp 2 with the same guide, the tour was cut drastically short because we were supposed to head back together with the delayed group, which was a real shame. This was neither explained nor compensated for, which is why I'm docking one star.

We had an English speaking tour with royal tours. Our guide was very clear and her English was great. The tour was very thorough in the first half, although the second half felt very rushed. Overall was a great experience but wouldn't go again.

The place was great. Arriving there already gave that "dark" vibe like going to somewhere really bad. The tour leader was really helpful. Places themselves were amazing, spooky, well preserved and full of pain. It was great to see every spot, every detail and the setting of the scenery was incredible. Auschwitz and Birkenau gave something to remember for the rest of your lives. Also, the tour guide was incredible. She gave her best insights on every place, provided every detail, and given her old age, she spoke English very fluent and was just incredible. Only one thing that happened was the time of our meeting were changed for an unexplained reason and we had to accommodate. But it's okay. The thing why this review gets 4 stars is the ordered lunch. Really expected it to be a normal, good lunch like meat, potatoes, vegetables and also soup, not some random and cheap stuff like sandwich, apple, etc... Overall, unforgettable experience!

Let's divide the experience into two aspects. Organizationally, everything went really well, both the timing and the logistics. The tour leader Michele was extremely kind and always attentive to everyone's needs. The guide was knowledgeable and spoke excellent Italian, and she was also always courteous and kind. Visiting the Auschwitz-Birkenau camps is an experience that must be had; no film or documentary can replace what we saw in person and experienced firsthand.
