Our driver Victor was excellent. He was very professional. Auschwitz was worth visiting. A lot bigger than I thought.
Everything ran to schedule. Guy on bus spoke English and cracked a few jokes. Does what it says on the tin really. The self guided tour isn't bad as it allows you to take in the poace at your own pace and plan your own visit.
