    A very well organised tour. My only small point would be that I would've liked to have been able to have use of the headphones etc for the Birkenau part of the tour, apart from that it was really very good.

    The Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum & Wieliczka Salt Mine tours were outstanding. The tour guides were so knowledgeable and willing always to take questions, the Auschwitz Birkenau museum tour was very humbling. I would recommend these two tour combination as a necessity, well worth the visit.

    Trip to Auschwitz was very informative and you see the full horror of the camps. Tour guide was excellent. Went to salt mine afterwards, was good. A very long day, might not have done the 2 tours in 1 day. No complaints about trips.

    We had an excellent driver and guide but unfortunately we were only able to complete part of the Auschwitz visit because of a heavy storm. It would have been nice to have been offered a return trip.
