Auschwitz was everything I hoped it would be and the guide was great. He was respectful and knowledgeable and couldn’t have been better. I regret going for the double trip as the salt mine was a real let down and after the emotion of the morning was just irritating.

Sebastian and Michael were great hosts and drivers. They really took care of us. We had the van to ourselves, which was brilliant! They were juggling several tours at once and did a fantastic job of it. I would highly recommend their tours! One last thing, they took us to a great restaurant for lunch, paid for by ourselves. It was delicious! They even had fish and chips for the two less adventurous travellers in our party who just wanted a taste of home (UK). I had the pork chop. It was delicious! Overall it was a very long day, but well worth it.
