Our driver picked us up and dropped us off to join with a large group. The driver was friendly and got us there safely. The tour guide was knowledgeable and tour well done for a very tough place to visit.
Very professional guide. Well versed in every aspect of the tour and very knowledgeable on all things Poland including history, economy, currency and alrchitecture!
Enjoyed the whole tour, so much of knowledgeable information shared by Theresa. There is alot of outdoor walking, proper attire is needed. And can't carry big bag (I regretted this since I didn't know, kept my bag in the van). The day was abit foggy, couldn't see some places. Overall satisfying and worth the visit.
I’ll leave you to make up your own mind after visiting this place. For me it was a very sobering experience. Excellent communication from travel company, prompt pick up, clean vehicle, clean and safe driving in difficult weather conditions, knowledgeable driver, excellent tour guide.
I highly recommend booking the Auschwitz-Birkenau Day Tour through Viadrina. Our guide, Mathias, picked us up promptly from our hotel and coordinated getting the English guided tour tickets through the Auschwitz Memorial and Museum so that all we had to do was show up. He was a great driver in the rainy weather and we appreciated the history of Wroclaw, Lower Silesia, and Lesser Poland he provided along our drive. Note that there were only two of us plus Mathias for our drive and we were picked up in a small car. I'm not sure if Viadrina ever does bus tours. As we neared Auschwitz, Mathias offered to stop for a quick breakfast before starting our 8am tour which was also appreciated. Last comment I'll make - we called Viadrina to book our tickets last minute due to a scheduling error and Viadrina/Mathias were incredibly helpful in organizing a last minute day tour for us! While I don't recommend booking last minute, it shows that Viadrina will go above and beyond for their customers.
One of the most amazing experiences in my life, our tour guide Mathias was brilliant and made us feel comfortable. He told us about different places along the journey. I would highly recommend booking this experience if you’re visiting Poland.
Very good tour. Communication was good from the tour operator beforehand and the pick up was prompt and on time. It’s a long day but the itinerary was managed well. Thank you.
Entire trip from pickup to drop off was first class. Learned a lot on the drive there and back about Poland. Tour guide at both sites was very knowledgeable.
Great tour Matt went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable transfer, had great knowledge of the local area and the tour of Auschwitz was very informative would well and truly recommend
The tour was unforgettable and we had a very good guide and driver. Matt was very helpful and provided us with a lot of interesting information.
