Itinerary
Visit KL Auschwitz 1. Walk through the iron gate bearing the notorious slogan Arbeit Macht Frei, which means Work Sets You Free. See 22 brick barracks, which were prison for hundreds of thousands of victims of the Holocaust. The most chilling is block number 11, the so-called prison within the prison. Block 11 contained special torture chambers including dark chambers or standing cells where various punishments were inflicted on prisoners. The first attempts to kill people with Zyklon B took place in this block. The only preserved crematorium and gas chamber is located at the end of the camp. After the visit to KL Auschwitz 1, travel in the minivan to KL Auschwitz 2 Birkenau. This part of the camp is 25 times larger than Auschwitz 1 and it was the largest of the death camps. Over 1,100,000 people were murdered here. Between 62 wooden barrack are the ruins of 4 crematoriums and gas chambers, which were destroyed by the Nazis in an effort to hide the evidence of their crimes.

A little too much facts in numbers, a little heated with the groups going in close succession. But the experience was absolutely overwhelming.
Very well organized. Small group of a very reasonable size. We were able to visit in good conditions.
We had an awesome tour guide. Magdalena guided us through the program in an entertaining, understandable, and empathetic way. The organization was also good and worked out perfectly from the meeting until the end. Gladly again ⭐️
They posted photos of the meeting point with an address link, but that place doesn't even exist. Then, they sent a completely different address via WhatsApp—so how are we supposed to know which one to use if they don't answer messages or calls? We experienced a huge amount of stress. Thank God we made it to the tour in time, but we definitely do not recommend them!
We ordered lunch and payed for it. But we did’nt get it. They wrote at 2.44 om to tell us that we could get our lunch at some place, but the bus wars already gone. Now they don’t want to pay us back for food they did not deliver. Yvonne who was showing around was the sweetest lady.
Expect an expansive description of the atrocities that took place there. Our guide was excellent and passionate about his tour.
I made the mistake of not checking my mail where the time had been changed, they had tried to call me but i didn't pick up because it was an unknown number. At meeting point another great guide helped us with finding a solution. And in the end we came along on his tour even though it was already full booked. Such a great service, will definitely recommend them .
We have booked in advance and we knew that time could change a bit. But we have received email a day before at 9 in the evening! There was change not only about time, but also meeting point! Unfotunately we do not read emails at 9 evening! We have tried to reach them in the morning to check the meeting point, but unfortunately it is impossible - they are not answering emails, and they do not answer the phone! That is totally unprofesional to change everything night before and then not to double confirm with customers. We have paid almost 250 eur, but we do not know what do to and we exactly we need to go. I am trying to call them, but no luck. It looms like scam company.
A product was offered and a different one was sold. A complaint about this was rejected via email within minutes.
Lots of effort put into this, and organized. Tough subject. But covered objectively, with facts. We went in 33 degree heat and the tour guide was very professional, and seemed unbothered by it.
