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!

The guide was very good at describing the history and the events during the nazi occupation of Krakow.. The tour of the museum was made much more interesting and useful by having him there (so much better than an audio guide). The same for the Jewish ghetto tour afterwards. Only thing I would say is I'vewould have preferred more detail on Oscar Schindler himself and how he operated within the nazi system - something I subsequently had to research afterwards. I only say this because the tour was badged as being the "Oscar Schindler's" tour. However this doesn't take away the very good history explanation and detail about the ghetto in Krackow given by the guide.

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 !!

Great experience - we had a great guide, Dominika, who really explained everything to us in detail and also gave us lots of book tips on the subject and other tips for our stay in Kraków. On our own, we would never have known exactly where the ghetto was and what life was like there!
