The transportation was excellent, the tour guide was fantastic. Everything was executed with military precision. There is not one thing I could fault.

Fantastic. Early start at 5.30am but visited Auschwitz before it got too busy. Comfortable drive to and from locations with a good driver recommending restaurants during breaks. Salt mines was fantastic too. All guides were fantastic and for all the price I paid it was well worth the trip.
