What people are saying about Auschwitz

Absolutely worth the money, a real eye opener to what people went through. So informative but at the same time saddening which is to be expected of course! Would highly recommend booking this!! Every 20 minutes there is a shuttle bus which goes from Auschwitz to Birkenau, this is free to get which is very helpful aswell! Thank you for the experience, and God bless all those that suffered hopefully you are in a better place resting in paradise now.

I can't say the word good for this place, but very informative, guide was very knowledgeable and you can't estimate the scale of the atrocities until you actually see it for yourself.

We booked our tour with Konrad he was very good very informative we did the 3.5hr Auschwitz and Birkenau expect a lot of walking wish we booked Transfer through him also

The guide was speaking very good English, unlike every Polish people we’ve met in this Country. Auschwitz is sad, but the organization was great!
