Every aspect of the tour was well organised. Michal, our tour guide, was most informative. Visiting these camps was an experience that will never be forgotten.

Ophaal punt lichtelijk chaotisch Bus nummer klopte niet. Gids was fantastisch. Jammer dat we de gids niet konden bedanken maar ik begrijp dat deze door de organisatie ter plaatse wordt geregeld Heeft het geweldig gedaan.

Average

we got the guided tour thinking we wanted to know the history. We were rushed around the site and for most of the tour we couldn't hear the guy as he kept speeding off and the headset kept losing connection. We struggled to keep up. Its a shame because we really did want to have time to process ever

De organisatie Hello Crakow was zeer stipt bij het oppikken , heel vriendelijk en een zeer duidelijke uitleg! ook de gidsen waren zeer vriendelijk, spraken duidelijk Engels en gaven een heldere uitleg waar nodig. Er is ter plaatse een restaurant waar je iets kan kopen om te eten en te drinken. Je kan kiezen uit zowel warme gerechten alsook uit broodjes. Dit is wel iets duurder in aankoop.

This experience was outstanding, right from the collection point to the drop off. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about what she does. Would highly recommend this tour.

Neuer Bus, guter Fahrer. Exzellente Führerin. Warum erfolgt die Anreise über die überfüllte Landesstraße, mühsam…

Nella esperienza, bene organizzata, si visitano i campi o ciò che ne è rimasto, con la sensazione di un pugno nello stomaco. Molto brava la guida a farci sentire sulla nostra pelle le terribili condizioni del campo e la crudeltà dei persecutori.

Gids was goed. Het tijd stip van ophalen met de bus was bij de boeking afgesproken tijd 9.15 uur maar werd vreemd genoeg naar 12.40 verzet. Als je zelf een redelijk strakke planning hebt is dit op zijn zachts gezegd heel vervelend. Stel voor dat je een vlucht hebt om 20.00 uur hoe dan?

Although we booked a later trip we were brought forward to an early trip as explained in the pre-booking blurb. Details on pick up were clear to the point we had vehicle colour, registration and driver's name in advance of the pick up. All worked well.

Very thought provoking experience, our tour guide Michał was very knowledgeable, reassuring and passionate which added to the experience. Great communication about timings and location from start to finish for the tour. 10/10 would recommend.

Only thing stopping an excellent is ths speed you go through. I understand thousands of people go through every day, but it would have been nice to take a bit more in a bit more stock of the feeling of the place. The tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable. Apart from the fast pace it was.

The trip was well organised from start to finish. Brilliant communication from provider re joining points, plan for day and what you needed to take. Michal our guide seamlessly took us through the entire day. He was respectful but informative and made a harrowing experience a memorable day.

Der Fahrer war absolut perfekt! Guter Fahrstil und viel Information über die Stadt und Tour im Auto. Leider müssen wir sagen, dass die Tourleiterin in Ausschwitz eine Katastrophe war! Sie zeigte durch Ihr Körpersprache und Erklärung, wie unmotiviert sie war. Ihr Englisch hätte besser sein können, man hatte keine ********** Fragen zu stellen. Wir haben andere Guides vor uns und hinter uns gehört, die viel mehr zum jeweiligen Punkt erklärt haben und auch sehr deutlich sprachen. Sie wirkten motiv

Well organised excellent service from driver and the guide

June 2024

We took two tours with Hello Cracow during our visit and couldn’t recommend them enough. Our guides were knowledgeable and friendly, the updates from the office team regarding pick up locations, timings and coach number/driver name etc was extremely helpful. Highly recommend!

May 2024

Great communication from tour company.

Everything went well, the tour was very informative, the tour guide was great and knowledgeable and respectful of the horrors that took place in Auschwitz-Birkenau. The audio headphones were great and we would definitely recommend this tour.

April 2024

A sobering and moving experience. A privilege to have been able to pay respects to the many millions murdered at Auschwitz. Organisation was impeccable and the guide was outstandingly good - extremely knowledgeable and clearly sensitive to the impact the visit had on all who took part in the tour.

Was a good trip

Great service well organised Would highly recommend both going on the tour and the wealth of knowledge provided by the tour guide.

It was a great help receiving WhatsApp messages from Michal on the day before. We all (group of 4) very much enjoyed the tour and were very impressed with our guide around the museum although, unfortunately, I have forgotten her name.

This was a. very thought provoking visit. Marek our driver and co ordination did a great job and collected us on time and gave very clear instructions relating to collection points and meet up times. It was great being a smaller group and opposed to another co was far better.

Catered for our 4 month old provided a car seat as well. Let us take as many breaks as we needed due to the baby

Zeer interessante rondleiding. Tijdsduur is te kort! Gids vertelde veel over waar we langskwamen, maar de groep was zo groot dat ze alweer andere dingen aan het vertellen was terwijl we het vorige nog niet eens hadden gezien. Hierdoor mis je regelmatig informatie. Iets meer tijd en rust zou heel fijn zijn geweest!

Visita per turisti con poco tempo e vogliono un’infarinatura dei luoghi e degli argomenti. Precisa, puntuale. Seria. E molto abbordabile, rispetto ad altre, di identico livello e che costano anche il doppio Ma è Come mangiare un menù turistico, la vera cena è un’altra cosa…

April 2022

Der Service war ausgezeichnet, alles war perfekt geplant. Aber was mich am meisten beindruckt hat war die Führung durch Museum und Auschwitz-Birkenau durch den Guide. Er hat durch seine sehr persönlichen und eindrucksvollen Schilderungen eine tiefen Eindruck hinterlassen.
