Eendaagse tour naar Auschwitz-Birkenau vanuit Warschau met de auto

Great day! The tour was amazing. Maciej was our driver, he was waiting for us outside of our accommodation with a sign. He was very polite, cheerful and thoughtful. Once we arrived in Auschwitz our guide was waiting for us. We joined the group and started the tour. Afterwards, our guide took us to Birkenau, where we ended the tour and drove back to Warsaw. It was a very emotional day and it's totally worth visiting.

Ik had een ongelooflijke ervaring op deze tour die al mijn verwachtingen overtrof. Vanaf het begin was Maciej fantastisch — hij arriveerde om 8 uur stipt in mijn hotel: 00 AM en was ongelooflijk vriendelijk en meegaand gedurende de dag. De rit was ongeveer 3 . 5 uur, maar Maciej was meer dan blij om stops te maken voor koffie, eten, en toiletten, zorgen voor een comfortabele reis. Toen we aankwamen in Auschwitz - Birkenau, stelde Maciej ons voor aan onze gids, die uitstekend werk leverde door de geschiedenis en betekenis van de site uit te leggen. De tour zelf was diep ontroerend en emotioneel en bood een impactvolle en grondige ervaring van beide kampen, die ongeveer drie uur duurde. De tour werd georganiseerd met een groep van ongeveer 20 personen. Op de terugweg stelde Maciej een geweldig restaurant voor om te eten, en voor ik het wist werd ik rond acht uur weer afgezet bij mijn hotel: 00 PM. Ik zou Maciej en deze tour ten zeerste aanbevelen aan iedereen — het is een ervaring die ik nooit zal vergeten, en ik zou het zeker delen met mijn familie en vrienden.

Our visit to Auschwitz/Birkenau has elicited a profoundly emotional response, prompting a wide range of feelings. I am finding it challenging to process my emotions, which encompass confusion, sadness, anger, and distress. The evidence of the atrocities perpetrated at Auschwitz/Birkenau is compelling, yet it remains difficult to fully comprehend the extent of the horrors inflicted upon the victims. It is deeply disturbing to recognize that there are individuals who refuse to acknowledge the occurrence of these atrocities and that, as human beings, we have not sufficiently learned from these experiences. Although our driver to Auschwitz, Majeic, was wonderful, our guide through Auschwitz left a lot to be desired. I’m not even sure the name of our guide, as he was not very personable. I think we would have had a must better tour if our driver, Majeic, had conducted the tour rather than the Auschwitz required guide. After a long wait to enter, our guide walked quickly, often leaving behind members of the group. It would have been very helpful to have an introductory video prior to starting the tour to give us a sense of the upcoming experience. Auschwitz was very crowded and it was most difficult to keep up with our guide without him using a flag/umbrella for us to follow. He really did not respond to questions from the group and did not pay attention to the dynamics if the group. Because it was snowing, it was very difficult for the group to stay together. The guide was knowledgeable and shared personal relationships about lol prisoners in the camp, our visit was marred by his lack of attention to the group. After leaving, our driver, Majeic took us to a fantastic restaurant for a meal that was most enjoyable. He was delightful and made a very emotional day palatable.
