I was there before but in 2017, unfortunately this is no longer what it was and has become a thematic overexploitation of the holocaust and auschwitz-birkenau, in 2017 you went with a guide with much more calm and with 50/60% less affluencía, now it's a shame what they have turned auschwitz-birkenau into, a quick and fast tour to get more and more tourists and without going deeper as it was done before, I know it's not your fault as an agency but the lack of control in the sale of tickets to earn more and more money.

The tour guide (older lady) was just perfect for the occasion. The weather was cold and rainy which suited the surroundings very well. The driver/guide helped us get buss seats back to Krakow ❤️

Despite having been warned the day before that it would be impossible to take the tour in French (as booked), we joined a group with an English-speaking guide, and were won over by her ability to share her emotions with us. The tour was highly instructive and emotionally charged. The organization was top-notch (Auschwitz and Birkenau).

The guide was nice. But the mic sucks en the guide was breathing really loud trough the mic. Hearing that in your ear was really innoing. Besides that i heard a lot of other guides who spoke really good enlglish and on a way that was better understanding. It was a very very busy day, but sometimes the guide was allready outsie, still talking but he went far away from us, so we didnt hear him anymore. At some parts we didnt have te time to look closely to things.

The guide was very nice and prepared, and he made the visit really pleasant and informative. However, I would have liked to visit more of the exhibitions inside the Auschwitz Memorial, not only the main ones. The organization of the group wasn't very clear from the beginning, and there were some communications problem with the tour organizer regarding the schedule.
