“It was a good trip overall despite having to start very early in the morning at 5.15 am. The Auschwitz trip was very informative and the tour guide shared a lot of information which are useful. This part of the tour was both solemn and somber but interesting. The Salt Mine trip was equally interesting and informative and we enjoyed taking lots of pictures of the statues made of salt.
