L’idée de faire visiter la ville en voiturette de golf est géniale. D’ailleurs, on en croise à tous les coins de rue. Un point à souligner: les chauffeurs, le nôtre compris, conduisent très bien. Nous avons pu visiter 3 quartiers emblématiques que nous n’aurions pas pu faire à pied. L’audioguide donnait des informations historiques complètes que notre chauffeur agrémentait d’anecdotes intéressantes. Une activité à faire absolument.

I managed to get the discounted ticket so it was really good value for money, since I am a student on a low butget this was perfect for me. I felt both tours were really interesting, the guides were very professional. Very punctual, I would recommend!

Radek messaged the day before to change the pick up time to 6:50. The mini bus was tight in space and no room to move much. The whole day was planned well and Radek made sure we were looked after. A very long day though and 24,000 steps on my watch. We spent 2 hours with a guided tour of Aushwitz then 1 hour at Birkenau. A very moving experience. Had lunch then went to the salt mines. 2/2.5 hours in there. Defo worth going! I would highly recommend the trip, a good day out.
