We took the full Kazimierz, Schindler's factory and ghetto guided tour. It was absolutely fantastic, we loved it! The guide was very knowledgeable, and I feel that specifically in Schindler's factory there is a lot that we would not have understood if we had visited it individually. Note that this tour it is many hours- out of our group of 8 people that originally booked the tour, 6 left the tour after visiting Kazimierz and Schindler's factory due to tiredness; my husband and I did not feel that the tour was too long, however, and we appreciated visiting all 3 places as they are all related. If you are in good physical conditon and are an enthusiast of history, I would definetely recommend!

Phil our guide was really one of the best guides we have had in our travels! His knowledge about the Kasimierz neighborhood, his knowledge and passion about the events highlighted in the museun at the Shindier's factory were very contagious! we loved our tour! The museum at the Schindler's factory, though having not much to do with Schindler himself, is so well organized and brings the history of those years in a very easy to follow chronological style , that we came away enriched !!

    Madeleine is a fantastic guide. She lives her job with passion. We covered 12 km in 4.5 hours, first wandering through the Kazimierz district, then visiting Oskar Schindler's factory and finishing with a tour of the ghetto. I recommend this fantastic tour.
