GetYourGuide traveler – FranceNovember 16, 2023 – Verified booking
the excursion itself was very good. On the other hand, we had booked in French and the day before the excursion we received an email to warn us that it would not be possible in French due to a lack of participants registered in this language. when this happens it would be wise to offer a guide in the participant's language., in fact the first part of the visit is done with a headset and an audio guide... which requires increased vigilance in order to understand and yes everyone is not bilingual. On the other hand, the second part is done out loud among other groups.... to conclude I didn't hear or understand anything, so I bought the guide. it's a shame.

Delighted with our visit with our French-Polish guide, very understandable. Too bad, we lost 1 hour getting into the first Auschwitz camp... which meant that we couldn't finish the Birkenau camp because it was dark.. Thanks to our guide for telling us the story... terrible story...

The only big negative note is the lack of transparency regarding the absence of lunch not included, even though it was shown on the ticket at the time of purchase. This information confused not only us, but all participants. Moral of the story, impeccable excursion, but very little clarity about lunch.
