This tour was a somber yet valuable experience. Auschwitz’s history is harrowing, and the guide provided detailed and respectful insights throughout the visit. The transportation from Łódź was convenient, and the itinerary was well-structured. I appreciated the balance between guided tours and time to reflect independently. While emotionally challenging, this is an important tour that I highly recommend.
Auschwitz is a place that everyone should visit, and this tour made it accessible and meaningful. The guide shared incredible details and stories, ensuring we understood the significance of each part of the camp. The journey from Łódź was comfortable, and the day was thoughtfully organized. It’s a heavy experience, but one that stays with you long after. I can’t recommend this tour enough for those visiting Łódź.
