Well, where do I begin?The Salt mine tour was a slick and enjoyable trip and I thank Krakow Direct for this.The Auschwitz tour was a complete and utter disappointment. The pick up was delayed by 1.5 hrs. By the time we had picked up everyone else along the way (which was unknown to us) we finally arrived at Auschwitz at circa 3.00pm.The guided tour, which we had paid extra for was with a group of approximately 40 people. We had audio through headphones but if one spent just 2 minutes looking at something or taking a few moments to contemplate the horrors of the place sound was lost and the group disappeared. I found myself trying to listen to the guide in the following group just to gather some knowledge of the exhibits and locations. Honestly, we were literally frogmarched for the entire visit with not a single moment to stop and reflect. I was actually quite heartbroken because having read and learned so much about the place I had genuinely hoped that it would all come alive for me and I wanted to be emotionally affected. It was just a complete and utter waste of time and after the daylight disappeared the only and actual accommodation block we visited was in complete darkness. The guide couldn't wait to get in her car and go home.I will go back one day but in my own time and at my own leisure.My advise is that if your wish to visit Auschwitz then please do it under your own control. It is unacceptably commercialised in my opinion and fails to provide the experience that I imagine, most people are looking for.I and my friends were sorely disappointed with the whole experience.
