Visually the tour was amazing, unfortunately our guide spoke so quietly 90% of the group could not hear her, and I left with the same knowledge I went in with (nothing).. did 3 tours in krakow and have done loads with them in other countries and all have been excellent, shame about this one..

Tour was great the mine is amazing but the thing that spoilt it was our guide as she spoke so quickly we could only understand half of what she said ! She was not very loud so if you were towards the back of the group you couldn’t hear her at all. Our guide at Auschwitz was so much better. It was a shame as she was very knowledgeable.
