Everyone should visit once in their life to fully appreciate the scale of the darkest time in our recent history, which no amount of images, literature or media of any format can truly express. That our guide had a personal investment, having lost family members in the camp added to the experience and reaffirmed that we must do everything in our power to ensure that no peoples, regardless of nationality or creed, must ever be allowed to face this horror ever again

This place should be visited atleast once in a life time, tour guide is perfect and explaining everything properly, everything has arranged in a well manner. The only negative point is that we have booked tour for 1030 but it has changed to 1200

Full description

Avoid queues and save time on your visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau with skip-the-line tickets. Be met in Auschwitz I Museum by a local host who will accompany you to the museum and give you tips on how to best plan your visit to the museum. Pass through the ominous "Arbeit Macht Frei" (work will set you free) sign at the main entrance gate and follow your authorized official Auschwitz-Birkenau guide through Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II–Birkenau to take in the camp's emotional nature while learning the somber story of the place. Take your tour for around 3.5 hours with 1.5-2 hours at Auschwitz and 60-75 minutes at Birkenau.

Group was quite a number of people all ages. The guide stopped at regular intervals to explain about things which was great whilst we had the head sets. It became more difficult at Birkenau as no headsets were used. We are at the upper end of the age range and at Birkenau that we had difficulty keeping up with the group and we were often holding every one up as the guide waited for up to catch up.
