Very well organised trip. Picked up from accommodation and promptly. Whole trip went smoothly without hitch. Glad we went to salt mine first as the second part of day was very distressing. The Salt mines were very interesting and there were some surprises along the way. Not for those who can’t walk great distances or deal with steps. Great tour guide Isabelle bought the story of the mines to life. Auschwitz and Birkenau provided a living history lesson. It was utterly devastating to attempt to imagine the horrific experience encountered by over a million innocent people. Information was imparted in a sensitive manner by our brilliant English speaking tour guide and I will never forget this day. Great value for money with lunch provided.

Excellent trip Well worth the money. Easy transfers there , between and back. A bit of a cue into Auschwitz initially but once we were in it was quick to the guide and to get started. The guide very informative. No delay Entering Birkenau. Transfer to salt mines gave us time to rest. Salt mines quick entry , tour guide waiting, again very informative. A lot of Walking but worth it. Lunch was good too!
