Visite du Musée national et du Mémorial d'Auschwitz-Birkenau au départ de Cracovie
Description
Visiter Auschwitz-Birkenau est un voyage solennel et morbide, mais qui en vaut le prix. Les villes modestes d'Oświęcim et de Brzezinka, à seulement une heure de Cracovie, sont le lieu d'une horrible tragédie. Le complexe d'Auschwitz-Birkenau incarne le sombre objectif de la Shoah - rassembler et exterminer des masses de personnes de manière et dans des conditions inhumaines. Initialement prévu pour servir principalement de camp de concentration, Auschwitz-Birkenau a été transformé en usine de la mort. La conception industrielle froide et impitoyable de ce camp de génocide a tué environ 1,5 million de personnes. Chaque année, d'innombrables visiteurs du monde entier viennent à Auschwitz pour commémorer ces victimes et ne jamais oublier ce qui s'y est passé. Pour ceux qui le font pour la première fois, un voyage assisté par Guide est le meilleur choix. Aucune lecture à ce sujet ne peut se comparer à voir les chambres à gaz et les crématoires de vos propres yeux. Cette expérience restera avec vous pour le reste de votre vie.

Au cours de votre voyage, vous visiterez Auschwitz I, qui fut la première et principale partie du camp, mais qui servit aussi de siège administratif à l'ensemble du complexe et Birkenau, qui a été conçu initialement comme un camp de concentration et rapidement transformé en le lieu principal du génocide avec des chambres à gaz et des crématoires.

Booked with Mr Shuttle as recommended by a friend. Pick up and driver were fine but tour was poor. Guide rushed us through with no time to stop and read information boards. He just continued the tour irrespective of whether everyone was with him. The Auchwitz tour was just a conveyor belt of groups again no time for reflection and at one point we joined the wrong group because our guide had disappeared. Tour of Birkenau was a waste of time. Very long walk to look at one barrack building. Did not visit the memorial etc even though we could see other groups there. My companion has done the trip before and thought that his earlier experience had been much better. I would have learned more if I had been able to move at my own pace with time to read and to reflect.
We are extremely satisfied with our visit to Auschwitz organized by Mr. Shuttle. Everything was perfectly arranged from start to finish. Our driver picked us up exactly on time, and the journey was comfortable and pleasant. The guide was also excellent – knowledgeable, professional, and very engaging throughout the tour. The entire experience was incredibly well organized, which allowed us to focus fully on this important and moving visit. We highly recommend Mr. Shuttle to anyone planning a trip to Auschwitz. Thank you for the outstanding service and flawless organization!
Absolutely fantastic company from start to finish the communication with this company has been brilliant. I cannot fault them at all. I booked them for both hotel pickup and Apple transfers and Auschwitz and they were on time. Very informative and always keeping in touch. Highly recommend them 100%. Can't fault them at all. The tour itself was brilliant. Heartbreaking but worth going the drive. I was lovely. I have nothing bad to say about this company
Excellent trip with amazing guide at Aushwitz. Thomas our driver was brilliant. On time and very organized and helpful. Would highly recommend.
Well organised trip. Travel timings as advertised. Time at Auschwitz thought provoking.
Very harrowing experience everyone should visit just to see for themselves. Would highly recommend mr shuttle good communication from start to finish, tour length what spot on
Hmm. I won't comment on the tour operator. Picked us up on time etc. Our issue was that you are herded at great speed through Auchwitz 1 with no time to stop and take in what you are seeing. The exhibits whizz by. The guide was very perfunctory and professional. Her accent was extremely difficult to understand and we missed a lot. I'd say that we left the site with far less emotional damage than we expected. There are no personal stories, no grim sights(sorry but it is necessary) and very little to indicate that hundreds of thousands or millions of people died. It seems very antiseptic and bland. Luckily I have good knowledge of what went on as I am old, but I'm sure that lots of younger folk leave there thinking "so what?". Such a shame. We've ticked it off now, but I really didn't think they do the victims justice. Sorry.
Good morning, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that the transportation and organization aspects of your tour met your expectations. Regarding the guided visit itself, we would like to clarify that all guides conducting tours at Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum are official museum guides who are fully licensed, professionally trained, and employed directly by the Museum. Tour operators, including ourselves, are not permitted to select guides or influence the content, pace, or structure of the guided tours. These standards are established and managed exclusively by the Museum authorities. For this reason, we believe that the overall rating of the tour operator should primarily reflect the quality of the services provided by the operator, such as transportation, organization, communication, and customer service. Feedback regarding a specific guide's performance, presentation style, language clarity, or tour delivery is most appropriately directed to the Museum, as they are responsible for guide recruitment, training, and supervision. We take all comments seriously and would be happy to forward your concerns to the Museum's reservation department. To do so, please provide your booking number, and we will ensure that your feedback reaches the appropriate team for review. Regards, Zuzanna MrShuttle
I am deeply disappointed and frustrated by the tour cancellation with only 12 hours' notice. I planned my trip, including air travel, specifically to participate in this experience. Such a last-minute cancellation not only caused enormous inconvenience but also negated my efforts and travel expenses. I expect a professional tour operator to manage their bookings with greater responsibility and offer appropriate solutions in such situations. This experience has ruined part of my vacation, and I cannot recommend your services. We understand that tour operators always do this; they sell packages they don't have.
Hello, Please verify your booking, and place this review on the correct account. We do not cancel the tours, we do not have overbookings, and this review is not true. It is probably posted to the wrong account, so please verify the information you have. It is not ok to post a harmful review of the incorrect tour provider. Regards, Mr. Shuttle
Wear shoes you can walk in comfortably for several miles over the course of the tour. Especially if your tour includes Birkenau. The tour itself brings it home. It’s a hit of reality that is shocking. It’s such a rude awakening to hear and see how much the Auschwitz prisoners actually suffered. It makes you realize how fortunate we all are to be alive today and hopefully no one will ever have to relive their tragedy. I highly recommend this tour to bring to light our history and how so many countries were impacted by one insane man. If you’re going to do any tour while visiting Krakow make it this tour. You won’t regret it.
Auschwitz is extremely well kept, well maintained, Entrance - no issues with entrance. We were straight in, assigned our tour guide, received our headsets. 1st camp - this is probably the most emotionally draining. However, we were rushed through it all. Convinced we missed some (wait. The tour guide said we would be skipping bits...). Couldn't keep up with the tour guide, Charles, and what he was talking about. What I'm really disappointed about was that we went down to the cells and he decided it was appropriate to try and bring in some humour about torturous ways. Whether it is his way or dealing with the emotions, we don't know. But we were quite disgraced by it. All of the things we wanted to stop and take in, we were just rushed through. Barely any stopping, just a walk by. When I say rushed, it's a quick glance at the death wall, quick look at the shoes/cases/prosthetics, cells, etc. But you'll spend more time looking at photos. That part of the tour came to an end. We were told to meet again at 1.10pm, others thought 1.20pm. Where were we meeting to go to the 2nd camp? What was the time? No one really knew. So we decided to get the shuttle bus and head to the 2nd camp. We never saw anyone from our group again other than 2 people who must've done the same as us - just went our own way. Camp 2 - we explored this camp on our own. And I'm glad we did as it looked like the tour groups weren't seeing as much as us. I've read reviews that people visited there and left within an hour. We saw so much way beyond the main area that it took us 3 hours to do just take camp. So, top tip, when you get to the huge memorial, follow the path to the right. There's so much more to see! More has chambers, more buildings and stories. We spent 2 hours at the first camp, 3 hours at the 2nd. 1 hour break for lunch. And we don't walk slowly! We're quite fit people. So definitely take walking shoes. Restaurant - grabbed a spinach and feta roll and some strawberries. Came to £12. So we didn't go back in - so expensive! Shop - nice selection of books in all languages. Picked one up that isn't sold in England too. Looking online, it seems hard to get hold of. Overall, it was an educational visit. Just a shame that the tour guide wanted to rush through everything at the 1st camp. So extremely grateful that no one knew what was going on so we went our own way.
