L'organisation était carré mais surtout la guide traductrice en Français était géniale ! Par contre très déçu de l'option déjeuner, une lunchbox à 9€ avec un petit pain une tranche de jambon et des crudités... une gaufrette au chocolat une pomme et une bouteille d'eau...que l'on vous donne à 15h30 au lieu de vous la donner dans le bus pour la manger a 11h30 sur le trajet qui dure 1h, je rajoute que vous devez la finir en moins de 10 min chrono... bref prenez un sandwich dans l'automate en arrivant à auschwitz.

The guide is nice and instructions are clear. However, the English is a little bit hard to understand. It would be better to shorten the waiting time between visiting 2 campsites.

Prise en charge à un point de rdv et non à l'hôtel comme prévu. La veille, l'agence vous propose un service lunch à 9€ par personne, même si ce n'était vraiment pas terrible, nous vous recommandons de le prendre car la journée se fait de manière très/trop rapide avec très peu de pause et le sentiment que l'on nous presse un peu/bcp. Concernant les visites elles-mêmes, la guide francophone était assez bien, l'audioguide pour la 1ère partie ne fonctionnait pas bien, des grésillements qui faisaient perdre quelques informations essentielles. Visite très rapide, nous aurions aimé avoir un peu plus de temps sur chaque site afin de s'arrêter, prendre le temps de la mesure de ces événéments traumatisants, de réflechir. Certains blocs n'ont pas été visités mais l'essentiel a été vu. Visite à ne pas rater car essentielles à un séjour à Cracovie. On en sort pas indemne. Nous étions avec nos enfants de 10 et 13 ans et cela n'a pas posé aucun problème mais nous les avions préparé avant.

We were told that we needed to be ready at 04:00am instead of 09:30am. Once at the museum the lady in charge of the tour said that she had always managed the tickets in a certain way and "today the museum changed the rules". What happen was that we were supposed to make a queue early to get the tickets but her plan was to get them on a side, of course the museum asked us all to make the line, but by that time the line was already too long. Instead of taking the 08:30am tour we had to wait until 11:45am. The place has limited food and beverages and we had to wait in the sun for time to pass (while being picked up at 04:00am, meaning we had to go with no breakfast and wake ip at 3am) Once the tour started it was a very emotional and solemn experience. I recommend it, just make sure to watch the dates and who you choose to manage your tour and experience.

The reign that ruined it all!

Visit the most important historical site in all of Europe, the Auschwitz concentration camp and museum. An enduring symbol of one of the greatest crimes on humanity ever perpetrated, the Holocaust museum at Auschwitz stands as a memorial to the millions who were ruthlessly murdered by the Nazi regime and a testament to the strength of those who survived to tell the tale. Within the barbed wire fences of the camps at Auschwitz and Birkenau, 1.5 million victims lost their lives to the many atrocities committed by the sadistic SS guards and the kapos to fulfill the Nazi Final Solution. Learn more about the unfortunate inmates of the death camps and their tragic stories on this guided tour.

Further, you will be led through the camp at Birkenau, where you can see for yourself the horrendous living conditions the prisoners were subjected to, and the gas chambers where they were executed en masse.
