I enjoyed the entire tour, but especially appreciated hearing personal stories and learning more about Schindler and others who helped save Jews from the camps. My tour guide, Joanna, was fantastic. She was personable and made sure everyone in the group was included. She even told some stories about her grandparents during the war. Her walking tour of the Jewish ghetto was excellent. She went above and beyond!

Our guide arrived on time but with no clear sign where we were supposed to meet it was a little worrying. She turned out to be great and very informative. The museum itself focuses on the terrible treatment Jews received in the war as much as it does on Oscar Schindler which was really interesting but not exactly what we expected. This was nothing to do with our guide obviously who was excellent as I said.

Very interesting and thought provoking. Knowledgeable guide (Wojcek). More exhibits than we were able to see properly. However, the atmosphere of the era was papable.

Michael's tour was outstanding yesterday. Many people will probably turn up expecting to hear a dramatic and sugary re-telling of the Schindler’s List plot. Instead, Michael skilfully explains a more complex story of Kraków’s modern history, and along the way points out some of the differences in Spielberg’s film to other historic records. The museum holds a huge amount of information and the tour brings to life its key points and treasures. Michael’s tour ends with a walk around the former Jewish ghetto, where he saves an interesting real-life plot twist for the end.

Join an expert-led tour to uncover insider stories and little-known details about the factory and the industrialist who inspired Spielberg’s Schindler’s List.

Choose a guide in your preferred language (English, German, Polish, Spanish, French, or Italian) for a deeper understanding of the Holocaust, ensuring no context is lost in translation.

Your guide provides insight into this complex figure, revealing his motivations, contradictions, and backstory, while leading you through a recreated Jewish ghetto, permanent exhibitions, and key film locations.

Spend more time exploring and less time in lines with priority entry, and discover the stories behind each exhibit that you might miss on your own.

Upgrade with a visit to the Podgórze Ghetto to witness the cramped and harsh living conditions endured by Jews under constant threat during WWII.

The factory museum was well laid out and the history about the war (aside from Schindler) was good. Could have been a lot more information (bio) on Schindler himself. The ghetto tour was not so interesting (not horrible though). Our guide repeatedly called people twice her age her children, which is a little disrespectful in western democracies. She did not seem very wordly and had to corral everyone through the streets which is stressful. We were admonished multiple times for stepping in the street like she did. Not really worth the fuss in my opinion. No one asked any questions on the tour. We had gone on the Salt Mine tour and the guide there was impeccable. That tour was 5 stars all the way.

The factory was great, but I expected to see the actual factory and the places where the Jews worked and lived. I wanted to see it all, but I felt rushed and it was a bit crowed and I felt like I had no time to absorb the exhibits .

Our guide was fantastic, we really got a feel for both the history and the effects still being had on the people of Poland and how it's shaped national identity and values. I would highly recommend it.
