steve_b_wales Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 I asked about the above in the past but cannot find the post. My wife and I would like to do this tour. Can anyone recommend a company from the UK that organises this? I know there are many. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Bergen-Belsen as a 15 year old, very quiet, very respectful. Edited January 27 by TIGHTCHOKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few companies based in the UK that will arrange flights, hotels and excursions. I'm trying to find one that is recommended.

Ian willetts Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Me and the wife went a few years ago we went with jet 2 .we booked trips with the hotel we stayed depending on how long you are planning to go we stayed for 3 nights .The hotel we stopped at was in front of the Jewish quarter and was a 10 minute walk to the square. It was snowing when we visited auschwitz and berkanau so we had coats hats gloves on so I personally felt for the poor souls who had been murderd and tortured .the salt mines are worth a visit too hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaymo Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Fly to Krakow and take a tour from there. Make sure you book the tour in advance as they are limited to ‘x’ amount of people. There are also as a side note, two shooting ranges in Krakow ( both pricey) as well as some of the best Pierogy restaurants too ( traditional Polish dumplings).

Red carp Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 You might want to visit Krakow midweek as it’s a bachelor party destination it gets wild on weekends but it’s a beautiful city & well worth a visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmm243 Posted Friday at 10:26 Report Share Posted Friday at 10:26 There is a guy st my work who denies the holocaust ever took place. Even in the face of all evidence he denies it..... Not sure I would want to visit, I imagine it would be very emotional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsalmons Posted Friday at 17:34 Report Share Posted Friday at 17:34 Went last year with missus. Krakow easily the prettiest/ cleanest place we ever been too. We did the camps...standing inside the gas chamber was overwhelming tbh. Highly recommended And as for those idiots who deny it.....***....
