Karol was our driver! He was excellent! He promptly picked me up at 5:50 am from my hotel. I was grouped together with 4 other travelers. It took about 4 hours to get to Auschwitz. There we were introduced to our tour leader and our tour guide who escorted and informed us about Auschwitz. It is a very somber experience to see the site, the pictures, and the place where this atrocity took place! After our tour of Auschwitz, we enjoyed a wonderful traditional Polish lunch which is included in the price of this tour. After lunch, we drove a short distance to Krakow which is a must stop destination! It does make for a longer day but do not miss it! The city is beautiful and the architecture majestic! My guide Joanna was very informative and the walking tour through Krakow was amazing! After a few hours at 6:10 pm, Karol took is back to Warsaw and we arrived just before 9:30 pm. What a perfect day for this traveler from the United States!Read more
