Loved that I learned more stories about the people who were affected. The ticketing and entrance was simple and effective. The tour guide (male) seemed more respectful of diversity (specifically people of color, like me and my friends) compared to the tour guide at the Salt Mine which was our tour that morning. Me and my 3 friends were the only people of color (Asians) in the Salt Mine tour group. The female tour guide in the Salt Mine tour spoke to us like we were children and spoke in Polish several times to Polish people who were in the tour group, even though we paid for an English guided tour. Also, the organization for the Salt Mine tour was not ideal. The Schindler Factory Museum tour was so much better compared to the Salt Mine tour in terms of overall experience.

The museum is amazing. But we were fortunate to have an excellent guide who did more than going through the ropes. He personalized his tour for us, augmenting it with his own family's experience, and those of a few individuals, both good and evil, that are featured in the displays. He conveyed a nuanced picture of Schindler who on the one hand was German, a nazi part member, an exploiter of Jews on the one hand, but who saved many of them by walking on the edge of a sword, so to speak. He was shrewd, clever, and a flawed but ultimately heroic man. Wojciech, our guide, gave us not only an excellent guided tour but also a lot to think about. All nine of us feel lucky to have had him as our guide.

The guide. Good English. Very informative. Would have liked some more time to revisit some of the exhibits as felt rushed at some points when I needed to take in the horrors of what the Polish people had to endure. Group was a little too big. The guide was critical of Churchill at the start of the war and the end but at the start we didn't have the USA on board and the French were a cavalry army like the Poles, not a fighting force to match the Germans. At the end of the war Britain was on its knees. Sad, but decisions had to be made. In all it was an excellent visit and more informative than our visit to Auschwitz the day before.

The museum itself is one of the best I have seen! We were fortunate to get Peter who is Krakow born and breed. Is a serviceman and has family from both side who went through the worst of the war as well as his wife being Jewish....the information both informative and personal was profound. Highly recommend

Good tour. Unfortunately not immediately clear that we had to wait outside in front of the entrance for the host but that soon became apparent.

It was a little confusing to find the group at first with another forming & the very large line of people waiting to go in. I had to walk around & look for the sign which was not held up to be clearly viewed. Many people were standing I didn't know what was going to happen next. Leaders informed us what we would be doing and it was very clear what to expect. We walked in and got our whispers and headphones and we're directed to our guide. After we were inside and had everything we needed, the rest of the tour was Easy Peezy. Our guide was fantastic! He kept the pace going I made sure everyone was included. We had a decent size group, so it was quite annoying when other people were coming around the corner and taking up space for our group or not all of us could fit in certain sections. Our guide was kind enough for people to stay behind and take a look at what he just talked about since not everyone was able to fit in the section when he was speaking. He went over the main sections, and skipped over a few, so I made sure to take the time to look at those rooms. Overall, it was a great experience. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially having the guide that we had.
