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

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.

Bartek was our tour guide, and he gave us a knowledgeable and informative tour of the Schindler Museum. The museum’s layout, designed as a journey through time, is fantastic. Afterward, we took a tour of the ghetto. This part fell short of the museum experience, as there weren’t many artifacts on display. But 👍

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.

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.

This was an amazing tour conducted by English speaking Bart. He was amazing! The history knowledge explained throughout the museum tour and Jewish ghetto tour was no less than amazing! I highly recommend booking this tour! My recommendations are don't just book a standard ticket when visiting, you HAVE TO HAVE an English speaking tour guide (or alternative languages) as they bring the museum alive! We are still talking about it now! Thank you so much!
