The Schindler Factory Tour was a highlight of our city trip to Krakow. Above all, high praise to the tour guide for his detailed and informative explanations. He was very knowledgeable and had a wealth of background information. We were a bit skeptical about whether the tour would really go smoothly. Due to high demand, we had booked online very early and were only able to secure a time slot in English. After paying online, we did receive a booking confirmation with a "View Tickets" button, but nothing happened in the app. When we checked in at the ticket counter, we were brusquely turned away with the message "Third-party provider—please wait outside." But we were listed on the guide’s roster, so everything turned out fine!

A truly impressive exhibition, a real journey through time, tracing Kraków’s fate from the Nazi/Wehrmacht invasion to the “liberation” by the Red Army. The focus is on the fate of the Jewish population, with many eyewitness accounts of their marginalization, the ghetto, and the extermination of Jewish people. And, of course, Oskar Schindler is also honored. Plus filming locations from "Schindler’s List." The driver was top-notch. Absolutely impressive.

Very good experience, our guide was good ,answered any questions we had about swindlers and the people he saved .I would say to do the full guided tour of the ghetto as well as the factory for the full story of the people that were persecuted in those dreadful years,the reason I use the word people and not the word Jews is beyond the fact of their religion they were people stripped of their humanity

A positive experience. All that remains of the factory is an office; the rest offers a glimpse into how the Jewish community lived before and during the war and the Nazi and Soviet occupations. Barbara, our guide, did a wonderful job of bringing this part of history to life. I highly recommend taking a guided tour—otherwise, you won’t understand a thing!

Superb Guide, sensitive but very direct about the story of Krakow in the period leading up to and during WWII. The tour was conducted at an appropriate pace, we felt we had learnt the story without needing to stop and read everything along the route. Her personal family touches completed the story perfectly.

The tour was very well organized and highly informative. It provided fascinating insights into the production process and the company’s innovation. The guides were knowledgeable, engaging, and happy to answer questions. Overall, a very professional and interesting visit – I can definitely recommend it!

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.

Michel our guide was very knowleable and put over the information in an interesting way that held our attention for 2.5 hrs. The tour was more about the Nazi regime in Krakow, and had less about the factory than I expected, but put that period of time in context. I learned a lot. My only grumble is the pre-tour admin - more precise information needed about the meet-up (name and photo of guide, exact location, don't join queue, etc. would have helped) - the Museum staff didn't recognise our ticket and told us to join queue. It was stress that could have been avoided with clearer, precise information.
