Customer Reviews

Graham Wadforth

The salt mine was incredible, impossible to describe in words, you simply have to see it. The Schindler's factory tour was a bit of a misnomer as there was no factory. It was a very well presented and modern museum of the Nazi occupation, but as I have read extensively on the subject I didn't learn anything. I expected a preserved factory, and wouldn't have gone if I had known.

The salt mine tour was excellent, again service great but a little rushed to be able to take it all in and visit toilets and shop.
