We thought until the last that the tickets were a FRAUD, REALLY, everything went WELL and we paid 10€ for a tour that other sites were offering at much higher prices! They changed the time for us the day before, delaying it by 1 hour (meeting at 9:50), the meeting place was respected, no queue (except at the controls, as for everyone), great guide. RECOMMENDED

It was a moment of introspection and awareness raising. We think we know everything that happened there, but only by visiting it do we realize that what we know is only a small part of what really happened. At least once in one's life one has a moral duty to visit a concentration camp to see the evil with one's own eyes and not to forget.

Punctual and very correct Spanish language. More history and more details would be missing. There was a lot of time on the bus when we could have taken advantage of it and told more things.

A visit to remember and never forget. A French-speaking guide made the visit very interesting. I highly recommend this tour.

Miroslav was a very professional guide who touched me deeply with his heartfelt tour guidance. He gave all of himself to show us, explain to us, the horrendous past. I don't know how he does it day to day, it must take a huge toll on his health. I want to say to him his sacrifice is not unseened nor went unnoticed. Please take care, it was my privilege to have crossed paths with such a lovely gentleman. Norbert, our tour guide to Auschwitz, was also a lovely chap. His gentle ways were a pleasure to be in company to. I wish him well in his college studies and future endeavours.
