“Never ever book with this horrific company. I have never seen such incompetence in my entire life. Turns out you are not paying for a ticket, but rather paying for a voucher to then have a chance to secure a ticket. We were apparently ,we were not, alerted by message at 3am (who is awake at 3am waiting for a ticket?) and told that we have to go secure our tickets. This website makes it apparent that you have the tickets whereas in reality you do not. Considering we paid over 300 pounds for this, the pure lack of clarity as well as the lack of tickets, results in this…”

“Well organised and with doing. Be prepared for lots of walking. We were surprised how many places you were allowed to take pictures although not sure why you would want to look at them again. So glad we went out of respect and to remember those people who were murdered. The trip was well organised and the driver Pavell was great. Don’t forget your ID for entry and wear comfortable trainers/boots. We had lots of comms about starting time etc and couldn’t fault anything. You are allowed to drink in the camp so don’t forget water. Even in the cold, it helps.”
