Good afternoon, I am a tourist from Romania who visited the Schindler Factory on June 30, 2026, together with my son. We entered at 12:20 p.m. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the staff of this museum, and especially to the guide who accompanied us throughout the entire tour and introduced himself as Thomas. He has a remarkable talent for explaining the exhibits and keeping visitors engaged in everything they see and hear. He shared a wealth of fascinating information and insights that we had not found anywhere else, presenting them with great respect and a profound understanding of the history of that period. Both my son and I were deeply impressed by this visit, but above all by Thomas's professionalism, knowledge, and dedication. We are truly grateful that we had the good fortune to be guided by someone as exceptional as Thomas. Thank you for making our visit such a memorable experience.

Booking was easy and information with a picture of the meeting point was fine. 👍 The experience at the museum was not what I expected. On the tour we heard only little about Schindler himself and how he saved all these people. What exactly did he do, what made him change from full blown nazi to helping jews? How did he manage to manipulate the Germans? Why did it save people by moving the factory to another country? And so on. Facts and more in depth information as if we had not seen the movie (comparisons etc being completely fine, of course). If you want to know more about life in general during the war, this museum is worth visiting. If you want to know and understand more about Schindler himself and what made him so extraordinary (apart from someone making a movie about him), I would seek knowledge in other places.

Our guide, Anna, was absolutely fantastic!!! She was incredibly knowledgeable; she brought the museum’s exhibits to life and made us feel as though we were living alongside the people who lived in Krakow during the occupation. She was able to draw connections to other time periods, other countries, and historical events. She asked thought-provoking questions and offered various possible interpretations of why people acted the way they did. She was also great at taking care of the group, explaining the itinerary, and clearly outlining what would happen and how long each part would take. A truly unforgettable experience!

The museum guide, "Monika," was very easy to understand and gave us very detailed information. She answered all our questions and took plenty of time with us. The tour was supposed to last 1.5 hours, but it ended up taking 2 hours, which was really great. No stress. The tour was simply fantastic! As for the museum itself, we unfortunately have to point out that all written explanations were available only in Polish or English. That was a hindrance for my father, who only speaks German.

The tour guide was spectacular. As for the museum, though, it’s no good—everything’s crammed into the administrative area, and it relies on photos when it really should have life-size figures like in London. It would be more realistic and beautiful. The tour groups were way too big—not everyone could see the photos the guide was explaining—and with so many tours back-to-back, people were jostling each other. Tour companies only care about easy profits. I wouldn’t repeat the experience.

Our group was allowed to hear the excellant guide Magda. The visit at the museum and the former ghetto was very informative, also after visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau.
