Auschwitz - Birkenau day tour
Campbell_M
, Aug 2022
The death camp including gas chamber and crematorium was very confronting but worth the experience. Walking in the steps of those who died under Nazi rule and seeing the conditions of those who made it to the camp lived in was confronting. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly and the pick up / drop off was good.

Tour leader suitability questionable
Kellie_R
, Aug 2022
The Auschwitz & Birkenau tours themselves were powerful, the guide was extremely knowledgeable and presentation respectful. Where I would like to provide feedback is regarding the unsuitability of our tour leader/ car driver. I feel he lacked a person centred, warm or supportive approach to the guests before or after this important, emotional experience. He spoke about his personal, unethical opinions.. completely unrelated to the events of the day, and it made for an uncomfortable car ride there and back. This was a disappointment and let down my overall experience of the day.

Just Okay
Roger_L
, Aug 2022
The back row of the van is too small to fit 4 people. It made for an extremely uncomfortable 1.5 hour ride both ways. Tour guide made comparisons between the Nazis and current day leaders and events interjecting her personal politics into the tour. I would try a different company.
