The guide David was very knowledgeable and made the tour interesting, he made the tour flow and gave us opportunities of seeing the museum at its finest and didnt rush us before seeing the section he ws tslking about. David also gave us time to ask questions if we wanted too. David gave us an insight and emotion of what the Jewish people and Krakow people wrnt through when the occupation of the Germans took them. It was also interesting to find out what Osker Shindler did to help the Jewish workers escape and how he supported them during and after with his wife. Also it was nice that the museum had original artifacts also to bring the story alive with David. It was also interesting to what tje Krakow and Polish people were doing and how hard it was for them during the occupation. I would definitely recommend this tour skd David as a guided tour person .

Our visit was made all the more poignant and meaningful by our absolutely amazing guide. Although I can’t recall her name, I will be adding the date and time of our tour so that she can hopefully be identified. Her passion for the subject was evident throughout, and her incredible knowledge brought the history to life in a way that was both deeply moving and thought-provoking. She explained everything with such care and sensitivity, helping us gain a much deeper understanding of the events and the people whose lives were affected. It was an incredibly emotional experience, and her guidance made it all the more powerful and memorable. We are so grateful to her for sharing her knowledge and passion with us. She truly made this visit something we will never forget. Thank you for such an outstanding and moving experience. Wednesday 14th October 4pm

There was a lot of information to take on board so we're very pleased to have had a guided tour. This way felt more manageable to take in the information. However, due to the size of the group, and number of groups going around at one time, there wasn't much time to stop and reflect on what we had been told, or to properly look at photographs or items as we headed off to the next part. All in all though, we felt we got great value from our guide and we would recommend. The booking process and communication was simple and easy too. Thank you.

Genuinely interesting tour at such an iconic location. Joining up with the tour was easy and efficient. We had Thomas as a guide and he was both passionate and informative. He spoke in great detail about the occupation of Krakow and used stories from his own family that really bought the story to life. Most of the tour is about the occupation with the last 15 minutes about Schindler and the role he played. Easily the best tour guide we had during our stay in krakow and highly recommended.

The atmosphere is really well done and the experience is super immersive. The only thing I didn't like was that if you go without a guided tour to see everything on your own, the guided groups really get in the way, and the guides don't ask them to let other people pass. We were stuck behind a group the entire time and had to stop every few minutes because they all stopped for an explanation and wouldn't let us move forward. Other than that, the experience is highly recommended.

We had a wonderful guide who related a terrific narrative history of Jewish population in Krakow up to end of WWII. Of note: although the tour takes place in an excellent interactive museum occupying his factory, Schindler's role in saving his Jewish workers and others took up only the last 15-20 minutes of the tour.

Skip the ticket line and head straight into Oskar Schindler’s Factory, a landmark of Krakow’s WWII history.

This landmark was a former enamelware factory run by the German Oskar Schindler, who saved the lives of more than 1000+ Jews.

It now has immersive exhibits on Krakow under Nazi occupation, including personal belongings and photographs of Jewish citizens and the Barbakan defense structure, a medieval remnant.

Walk through rooms that inspired the movie “Schindler’s List,” gaining insight into the city’s Jewish community and wartime resilience.

Upgrade for a guided tour to uncover personal stories, rare artifacts, and the impact of Schindler’s heroic actions during the Holocaust.

Enhance your visit with a walking tour of the Jewish Ghetto, led by a live guide sharing firsthand accounts and hidden history.

Alternatively, opt for a combo tour with the UNESCO-listed Wieliczka Salt Mine, complete with transport, headsets, and a professional guide.

After a visit to Auschwitz. this tour gave me even more information about the history. All of the questions I was curious about were answered. The guide, Michal was phenomenal. He didn't throw out too much or too little- just the right amount so that you could take it all in. I cannot recommend this tour enough!

Definitely very interesting, the guide was very good, however the exhibition consists of many photos and a few objects. The factory cannot be visited and the machinery is no longer there. Cramped spaces and groups that are too large. They could do better.

I recommend going and honoring the 1,200 people saved by Schindler. The site is well worth it and taking an hour of your time is easily doable—very moving!
