I really enjoyed the factory tour however there were so many things that she could've pointed out outside of everything on the walls. Basically we got a tour of this place with discussions of all the pictures and comments about the pictures on the walls. There was so much more in this museum that we missed because we didn't realize that we were only gonna be talking About the walls and pictures. The Guide, however, was very knowledgeable and she was very kind however, I probably would not recommend this Tour if you're on time constraints because you miss a lot of the artifacts and things in the museum that I'm sure are very interesting. However, she did not discuss any of that

Seamless entry to the museum. Whilst we enjoyed it it was very stuffy in the building- needs to be ventilated. Lots of war time history. We knew there would not be any elements of the factory floor to see on the tour but others may not be aware of that fact. Lots to look at and read as we went around but no time allotted to take in these displays whilst listening to our guide and then being moved on. Book shop tiny and coffee/ snack area and toilet facilities the same- far too small for the volume of people who visit. Overall enjoyed the content of the museum very much, just wished there was more time to linger and absorb the displays.

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 tour was amazing, our guide was clear in explanation and really informative. Our group it was small and easy to walk and move around the museum. It is really worth it to do the tour as there is a lot of information and dates you will miss on your own.

    Found it initially frustrating. We had found directions to get to Schindler's factory but the information was incorrect. We lost money as the tour is guided. We, because of TripAdvisor went on the tram 52 as we had missed the number 3. Note....52 goes nowhere near the museum. We managed to get to the museum and decided we would buy yet another pair of tickets. Tickets are non refundable or changeable. The tour guide was informative however was rather monotone in delivery, at times we didn't know where she was simply due to the volume of people in the space at the same time. We couldn't spend much time looking at the exhibition. There are far too many people in such a small space. We had read beforehand what the tour involved I.e the history of the war and the role Poland had in it. We we aware that it wasn't just about Oskar Schindler. He was mentioned but it was the trajectory of war. Others, obviously weren't aware and seemed disappointed that Oskar Schindler was not the main focus. We felt sorry for the people who had independently gone to the museum and self guided as they did struggle with the volume of tours and the difficulty in trying to look at the exhibition. I would suggest having smaller groups at any one time and possibly suggest either a morning or afternoon dedicated to those on self guided tours. This way the observer/viewer can really appreciate what there is to be viewed and learnt.

    The tour is absolutely brilliant, but the real star of the tour was our guide. She was so knowledgeable kept the group informed for the whole duration. It should definitely be on your to do list when visiting Krakow. But I would advise that you.pre book your tickets or be prepared to be in for a long wait.
