Certainly worth a visit but if you arrive before 10 you can walk around at your own pace without a guide. After 10, until 3, everyone must go with a guide. We found that doing it on our own we were able to visit places the guided tours didn't have time to go and spend less time at some where... More

Silesia trip was the best choice for us because we just came to Katowice for a day trip to see Auschwitz. And most of the trip goes from Krakow but we found cheap tickets from london to katowice.From Krakow trough Katowice it would be very expensive. Bartek the driver picked us up in the airport. Spoke very well english and... More

We stayed in krakow and went to Auswich / birkenau concentration camps. It was emotional and reflective on the pointless process that happened. It was a full day and well organised, a bit of walking but worth it to remember the deaths that happened.

Nothing prepares one to a visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp - not even Auschwitz I. The size of Auschwitz-Birkenau is shocking and the autrocities committed there unspeakable! The persons to have been taken there were clearly on a one way route! A true extermination camp - complete with gas chambers (which the retreating Nazi's failed to destroy completely to hide... More

I had been contemplating this visit for a number of years; one of my best friends' fathers survived Auschwitz and was a bit of an odd fellow. Now I understand why. There were not many that did. You have seen the movies and the documentaries about this place but nothing can quite prepare you for what you experience when you... More

All I read about auschwitz had not prepared me for the real thing. Human depravity , how a regime could systematically annihilate a community is horrific. This is a so sombre tour and should be visits by all to make sure we never let anything like this repeat I'm history. There are tours from krakow . Takes about 6 hours... More

I was shocked at the size and scale of the camp, Auschwitz I is quite compact but when you visit Auschwitz II I was shock by the size it must be 1 mile x 3 miles across. The tour is very informative and I think everyone should visit Auschwitz to learn of the holocaust.

This tour was out main reason for visiting Poland. My daughter is currently studying history at GSCE Level and really wanted to see it. You can't say it's good because there was nothing good about what happened here but what I will say is that you learn about what went on here, you are shocked and stunned but you do... More

Many visitors will arrive as part of a tourist group from Krakow. I was there alone in October 2008, and had arrived early so it was only 9.30am but I was surprised by the amount of tour coaches that were parked up. Some of these were actually Polish school student trips as well as tour groups. The main visited routes... More
