Superb guided tour, well explained by the guide, bus transport from one camp to the other. Beware, however, of the tour schedule changes, which seem frequent in view of the previous comments.

Excellent guide. Well Organised. The only downside was that some of the indoor sections felt a little rushed so that more groups could take their turn.

We had booked for 10.00 a.m. and were supposed to be there 15 minutes earlier. One day before the tour I was told that we had to be there at 07:20, otherwise we would not be able to participate. We had a journey of 4.5 hours. This meant that we had to leave at midnight. That wasn't nice, unfortunately nobody responded to my enquiry. So everything was without explanation. Everything else was fine.

The guide explained everything very well in French and showed us all the important places. It's a moving experience, a moment to pay tribute to the victims of the camps and not forget. You get a sense of the cruelty of the place. It's totally different to see the place in real life, rather than on the internet and networks. We recommend the experience.

I would not recommend booking this tour. The guide was wonderful, but we waited two hours... Poor communication and then no response.
