Führung durch das Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau ab Krakau

From start to finish our driver & tour guide Jakob were excellent. Everything was explained and we weren't rushed to get around auschwitz or birkenau parts of the tour. Jakob was extremely knowledgeable with regards to all the history of both camps. This is something I had looked to do for a long time and I experienced it along with my partner, daughter & daughter in law.

The communication from the tour was outstanding, with clear instructions about the tour & the pickup. On the morning of the tour we got to the pickup which was on a busy street with lots of others waiting, some with a different destination. 3 mini buses arrived & it was a bit chaotic with each bus reading from a list of names. It would have been easier if those people had one list & then directed you to either bus a, b or c. Nevertheless we found our bus & off we went. At Auschwitz things were smoother and we set off with our guide to collect headsets. The guide did not introduce herself, which was not necessary, but would have been courteous. Her knowledge was outstanding and she kept the group together wonderfully. After the tour we went to Birkenau & met our guide at the gates. Again her knowledge was outstanding & she really painted a picture of life, or lack of it, in the camp. At the end of the tour she quickly disappeared, leaving many of us disappointed that we could not thank her personally for her time & knowledge that she had readily shared. Going back to Krackow hardly a word was spoken as we were all lost in our thoughts of the terrible things that had happened in those camps. It was certainly a five star experience that should be taken by all that visit Krackow.... Lest we never forget. ????

Es war eine solche Erfahrung, die ich nie vergessen werde. Ich dachte, ich schaffe das schon, aber das ganze tragische Ereignis hat mich erwischt. ????????????
