I was unsure of the website at first because I'd never used it before but we arrived and the tour guide was there waiting for us. Very insightful to the factory and WWII and how Poland was taken over by Germans and USSR. Then took us to the Jewish ghetto which was very interesting and lots of cool facts along the way and ended at the chair memorial and was able to tell us cool facts about positioning and theory behind it. Would go again

Informative guided session. However there was no time to read through the display artefacts in the museum due to the guide moving us from one display room to another.

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!

Did not go on visit. I am disabled and having stood in the queue to get in to the museum started to have problemsxwith my ability to stand for a long time unaided. Memberscof the queue helped me into the museum but I was asked by the lady on the door to prove I was disabled. As a visitor I was unaware that in poland disabled people needed a certificate of proof of disability so fid not have one. I was told to go back to the queue. I therefore left. I feel I was discriminated against as a disabled person.

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!

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.

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.
