Auschwitz en Birkenau Tour
Beschrijving
Ervaar Auschwitz, een plek die niet geliefd is maar geëerd moet worden. Het is op zich al heel zinvol en het is belangrijk dat iedereen begrijpt wat er is gebeurd en de mogelijkheid heeft om zichzelf te onderwijzen.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Bezoek KL Auschwitz 1. Loop door het ijzeren hek met de beruchte slogan Arbeit Macht Frei, wat betekent dat Work Sets You Free. Bekijk 22 bakstenen barakken, die gevangenis waren voor honderdduizenden slachtoffers van de Holocaust. De meest huiveringwekkende is blok nummer 11, de zogenaamde gevangenis binnen de gevangenis. Blok 11 bevatte speciale martelkamers waaronder donkere kamers of staande cellen waar verschillende straffen werden opgelegd aan gevangenen. De eerste pogingen om mensen met Zyklon B te doden vonden plaats in dit blok. Het enige bewaard gebleven crematorium en gaskamer bevindt zich aan het einde van het kamp. Na het bezoek aan KL Auschwitz 1 reist u in het minibusje naar KL Auschwitz 2 Birkenau. Dit deel van het kamp is 25 keer groter dan Auschw itz 1 en het was het grootste vernietigingskamp. Meer dan 1.100.000 mensen werden hier vermoord. Tussen 62 houten barakken bevinden zich de ruïnes van 4 crematoriums en gaskamers, die door de nazi's werden vernietigd in een poging om het bewijs van hun misdaden te verbergen.

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.
Seek for another tour! Horrible. Our guide was slow, spoke almost understandable English and when it was understandable she repeated the same things over and over. The cherry on the top was that the guide we had to bear for the whole time coughed and sneezed to the mic all the time. We chose to escape the tour as soon as possible and created a better experience with internet sources (there are plenty) at Birkenau. I would steer away from this one unless my life was at stake.
10/10 Everybody should Go and See this place once in their Lifetime. Our Guide was great and the Tour well organized.
Very good guide who explained everything very well. We had booked this tour because of time but day before the tour was suddenly brought forward from 10:00 to 05:45!!! Really ridiculous. Afterwards it was okay but gave a set on the tour. Furthermore good mini of with enough legroom.
Basic knowledge about WW II and german concentration camps is necessary to „feel“ it in the right way.
Unfortunately, the booked tour was cancelled the night before at 8.30pm! There was also no alternative offered, such as a tour in English, which I asked explicitly for in the evening. Very annoying! I should have been warned about some reviews.
A weird feeling that this has become too much of a tourist attraction. The guiding was very lack lustre, to be polite, with the headphone quality inadequate. We gave up with the guide and just did our own tour. We only started to feel the horror of it all over the following two days when we had time to contemplate what we had seen. The death wall has been turned into a shrine wish deflected thoughts away from the stark horror of the killings The history of the Jewish quarter and ghetto in Krakow added to the whole appalling story.
We had booked a guided tour of Auschwitz two months in advance and organized our entire trip to Krakow around this tour. The day before (in the afternoon), the agency announces the outright cancellation of our tour. The only “solution” proposed: • a ride on another day (impossible for us due to our flights) • or visits in languages we do not speak, such as German. No serious alternative, no commercial gesture, no help to find another solution when cancellation comes entirely from their side. This is a total lack of professionalism and respect for customers. When you book such an important activity, months in advance, you expect at least reliability. If you want to visit Auschwitz serenely, do not take a tour with this agency. You may end up without a visit overnight.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. we booked for a auschawitz tour at 12pm, we received a text the day before saying our booking had been moved to 7.45am. Not a time that was at all similar or close to what we had originally booked. Now we are unable to visit the last place on our holiday and our tickets have been booked for months. AVOID
We where collected on time from the pickup point, this was my second visit to Auschwitz and the modernisation to some of the blocks was very noticeable.
