First of all, I appreciated the company’s professionalism; another tour operator had canceled my visit, claiming it was closed for a memorial service, which wasn’t true. So a big thank you just for letting us in... The driver was punctual, friendly, and helpful, and the vehicle was very clean and comfortable. The place is very moving, and the guide was able to explain the tragic events that took place there with great sensitivity—which was very important for my group because we were traveling with 12-year-old girls, and many people had said it wasn’t advisable. But Magdalena handled it with just the right sensitivity for them as well. Highly recommended

Was a whole day tour - picked up at 5.30am and got home around 7.00pm - but was worth it. The group leader, Peter, was great. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend if you're not shy of an early morning and a very long day!

Well orgainised from pick up to drop off. The guide gave a very detailed brief, as we set off, on the day and the strict timings that had to be followed to ensure we kept to the schedule. There was enough time and consideration given for comfort breaks throughout the day . All of the various guides spoke very good English and took time to answer questions. The guide we had for Auschwitz spoke with a lot of emotion and knowledge which ensured the exprience was engraved in our minds. The salt mines were a great way to round the day off with a totally different experience.
