It’s a moving experience

Everyone should experience this type of tour. It was heavy but important to remember. You could spend all day at the site.

Marcin, the guide, gave so much detail that we were never told at school. He is so familiar with the site and its history that I recommend that anyone interested in this part of history book this tour.

Our tour guide, Marcin, did a wonderful job of educating us on this complex and haunting history. We learned so much and appreciated that we were led by someone who obviously has extensive knowledge and passion for helping others understand and remember the lives of so many. Everyone should take this tour. It is not always easy but was something we will never forget. Having transportation taken care of once we met our guide in Munich was great and stress free. Such a great value for a really memorable experience.
