A must-do trip!
Sarah_G, Oct 2022
What a moving experience-We were shown pretty much everything there was to see and there were some very graphic artefacts which are quite shocking, especially when our guide explained what was going on behind them. We were able to enter many of the buildings, the crematoria that were left and at Birkenau the barracks. Our guide was fantastic by the way and very knowledgable, she literally didn’t stop talking.- So informative! You need to keep up with your group or you can easily get lost amongst other tours, but the headsets they provide you with allow you to hear your guide clearly even when you can’t always see them. Everybody should see Auschwitz and Birkenau- it’s a very real, stark and haunting reminder of recent history. If we don’t learn the lessons, it could so easily be repeated.

Dear Madam, Thank you for your opinion. We are glad that your tour to the Auschwitz-Birkenau museum was a valuable and educational experience for you. We hope to see you in the future! Best regards, Joanna Poland Active
An absolute must… everyone should do this trip
Julie_L, Oct 2022
From start to finish this tour was very well organized. This is the second time we’ve done this tour with the same company. It was even better this time. Michal who took us to Auschwitz kept us well informed of timings. Our guide around both sites was incredibly knowledgeable. I learnt even more this time.
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Dear Julie, Thank you for your feedback. That is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the tour with our company - we invite you to use our services once again in the future! Best regards, Joanna Poland Active

Disappointed in my tour guide at Auschwitz-Birkenau tour
Andrea_B, Oct 2021
Two years ago I visited the Dachau and Sachsenhausen concentration camps in Nazi Germany, and was impressed by the outstanding guide. But I was very disappointed with my guide at the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp in Poland in September 2021. She was a native of Osviecim, the Polish city where the camp is located. She was so soft-spoken that it was difficult to hear her at Birkenau, where there was no audio recording. She recited the correct facts at each stop on the tour, but showed little emotion about the extermination of 1.1 million people there. She also did not appreciate anyone asking her questions, it appeared as if she was there for a pay check and nothing else. There should be better screening of applicants for guide positions. Viator and your local partner should pay more attention to which guide works with the people on your tours.
Response from Host, Oct 2021
Dear Andrea, Thank you for your opinion. We are grateful for telling us about your feelings during the visiting of Auschwitz Birkenau Museum. Unfortunately, our company, as a travel agency, has no influence on the choice of guides who are assigned to each tour by the museum. However, we will try to intervene as far as we can. We hope you will decide to visit the museum again. Best regards, Joanna Poland Active

Very moving experience
Jane_E, Feb 2020
We’re collected from hotel on time and transferred to Auschwitz in a small minibus. Very good tour of Auschwitz- lots to see and guide was very informative. Very moving. Could perhaps have spent slightly longer but we were guided through all the main areas. Went onto the second site of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Unfortunately weather was appalling so tour here was shorter also a bit difficult to hear the guide properly. It was definitely rushed which is a real shame as the scale of the place is hard to believe.

Auswitch visit
Thomas_F, Jan 2020
I could not recommend our visit highly enough. The booking itself was easy with a choice of dates and times. We were picked up from our hotel at the allotted time which was confirmed as per booking, the day before. Our driver Matt was knowledgeable, courtious, friendly and on time. Our guide for the visit was Anya. She was amazing, enthusiastic, spoke very good English and she enthused the history of Auswitch.She brought to life the emotions that the victims of Auswitch went through. It is our third visit with Viator and would highly recommend them

A great mini tour! There were just 6 of us in the minivan that picked us up and we were joined by a bigger group at Auschwitz-Birkenau. The duration is ideal with the guide being knowledgeable and providing excellent information on the place. Would definitely recommend these guys!

Travel to Auschwitz on time. Short time only to wait for a English tour. Excellent guide. Whole experience very humbling, but a must to undertake so that we never forget those who perished there and pray that nothing like it ever happens again
