I
went
on
the
Auschwitz
tour
via
Krakow
Booking.
Overall,
I
felt
the
guided
tour
itself
was
very
well
done,
but
the
other
aspects
of
the
trip
could
be
improved.
Two
days
before,
the
pick-up
time
was
changed
from
6:40am
to
5:40am;
I
appreciated
the
early
notice,
but
would
not
have
booked
if
I
knew
the
start
time
could
change
to
be
so
early.
When
we
were
picked
up,
the
driver
greeted
us
and
applied
the
sticker
indicating
I
was
a
part
of
the
group
directly
to
my
chest,
rather
than
handing
it
to
me
to
apply
myself.
I
felt
uncomfortable
about
this.
The
guided
tour
was
very
informative
and
educational.
However,
due
to
the
quick
pace
and
high
volume
of
people,
it
was
difficult
to
capture
photos.
If
I
did
pause
to
take
a
photo,
I
would
be
so
far
behind
the
guide
that
I
could
not
see
what
the
next
explanation
was
about.
That
said,
this
experience
would
probably
be
common
to
all
visitors
of
Auschwitz,
not
just
Krakow
Booking
travelers.
I
felt
rushed
to
finish
the
visit
at
both
Auschwitz
I
and
Auschwitz
II.
I
would
have
appreciated
some
time
to
explore
the
premises
a
little
on
my
own,
visit
the
bookstore,
or
grab
a
coffee.
We
were
given
time
to
use
the
toilet
and
return
to
the
bus.
I
was
surprised
that
there
was
only
one
drop-off
location
at
the
end
of
the
day
(as
opposed
to
the
multiple
pick-up
locations
available).
In
fairness,
this
was
communicated
on
Krakow
Booking's
website,
and
I
did
not
notice.
As
a
result,
I
had
to
walk
over
20
minutes
to
return
to
the
place
I
had
been
picked
up.
In
my
years
traveling,
I
have
never
had
a
tour
drop
me
off
in
a
different
place
than
where
I
was
picked
up.
I
recommend
travellers
consider
this
before
booking.
