I went with my rather mature 11 year old son, and we found this tour to be very good. Our tour guide was wonderful, compassionate, and informative. While I understand this tour is not appropriate for younger kids, it was appropriate for my child and important history for us to learn.
Excellent trip great tour guide and bus driver. Very professionals and polite. The tour was very interesting and impressive. Something very amazing to never let us forget about the terrible things that happen there. If you have the opportunity this is your sign for it!
The bus was comfortable, the guide there was engaging, and the guide through the camp was outstanding. She had many thought provoking questions instead of just reciting facts. Well worth the trip.
