The pick up was prompt and very efficient, instructions on arrival were very good. The tour guide was excellent and very knowledgable. My only point is I wish we'd had more time and look around the grounds of Birkenau.

A super-organized tour with Headout. The transfer went smoothly, everything was well-coordinated, and the staff were friendly throughout. The only downside: our appointment was rescheduled twice, which was a bit annoying. Overall, though, I highly recommend it—5/5 stars.

We decided to make our own way there. The day before, we received all the details about the tour via WhatsApp (when and where to be, the address—there’s a parking lot right there for about €5–6). There was also an option to pre-order a lunch box, but we decided against it. Once we arrived, they first explained the schedule for the day. We were assigned our tour guide, who also explained the process to us again in German. The tour was extremely informative, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

I really enjoyed it; the tour was very well organized. Our guide did a great job explaining the history of everything that happened there. I recommend this tour to everyone, so we don’t forget what happened—because it could happen again...

The tour was very well organized. Our driver was friendly and knowledgeable. He also translated for us on the tour. Auschwitz-Birkenau was a powerful experience. Parts felt a little rushed- but there is so much to see, and they are large sites to cover in the amount of time allotted. That being said, I learned so much and appreciated how our guide shared the stories about what happened here. The salt mines were a wonderful experience as well! The sculptures are beautiful, and the tour sharing the history of the mines was very interesting. I would highly recommend this tour.

It's very convenient—they pick you up and drop you off at the same hotel where you're staying, and they're very friendly. I felt like the guide went too fast, especially during the last part of the tour, and didn't give us a chance to ask questions; it might also have been because there were so many people. But everything was well-organized and clearly explained. I recommend it if you want to see the fields.
