The visit to Auschwitz/Birkenau was incredibly thought provoking and moving - the guides are excellent and explain the history and the horrors of both sites. Quite honestly there are no words to describe the scale of the atrocities committed here. The visit to the Salt Mines was excellent - very informative and an incredible place. It is a long day but both are well worth the time spent. The arrangements for the trip were well organised and lunch was very good too.

Our guide at Auschwitz was very knowledgable, and relayed personal stories about some of her own family members being murdered at the camp. Very moving experience. The salt mines were a completely different experience. Our guide was great, informative, and engaging. She was the perfect guide to have while exploring the mines. We talked with our friend that we were glad to combine the two activities in one day, to attempt to balance out our emotions.
