The combination of the Wieliczka Salt Mine and the Schindler Factory offers an extremely comprehensive and dynamic tour that makes excellent use of your travel time. The underground walk through the depths of the mine is visually stunning, with the amazing sculptures and the imposing chapel—carved entirely from blocks of salt—being particularly noteworthy. Furthermore, the subsequent historical tour of the iconic factory provides a moving, profound, and essential perspective for understanding the context of the occupation of Kraków during World War II. The private transportation between the two sites was comfortable, punctual, and efficient, while the tour guide was highly knowledgeable and friendly. Without a doubt, this is a highly recommended experience for travelers interested in history and culture.

The museum is exceptionally well designed and thoughtfully organized. The exhibition is very well documented, with an impressive collection of photographs, videos, and historical materials that provide a deep understanding of the events and the lives of the people connected to this place. Our guide, a friendly and charismatic Kraków local, was outstanding. He explained the history clearly, passionately, and with great knowledge, making the entire experience both informative and deeply moving. His engaging way of telling the stories kept everyone interested throughout the tour. The tour started exactly on time and was very well organized. Upon arrival, everything was ready, and our names had already been registered, making the check-in process quick and seamless. We highly recommend this guided tour to anyone visiting Kraków. It is an unforgettable experience that offers a meaningful insight into an important chapter of history.

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.

The guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared many stories about how the invasion of Poland began. There was a lot of interesting information about Oskar Schindler and his wife, who managed to save about 1,000 Jews during World War II. The guide also talked about his personal connections to World War II, which was very interesting and provided a different perspective. The tour concluded with a viewing of photos of the people whose lives were saved thanks to Schindler’s efforts, and we also learned that one of the survivors still lives in Krakow and visited the museum just a few weeks ago. I highly recommend that others take a guided tour. A word of warning: it doesn’t look like a typical museum—the machinery and the factory aren’t preserved in the way they were used during the war—but there are many other interesting things and stories that are worth seeing.

We were very satisfied. Our tour guide, Anna, was very nice and knew a great deal about the subject. We really enjoyed her commentary, both inside the factory and during the outdoor tour of the Jewish ghetto. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Krakow.
