Good afternoon, I am a tourist from Romania who visited the Schindler Factory on June 30, 2026, together with my son. We entered at 12:20 p.m. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the staff of this museum, and especially to the guide who accompanied us throughout the entire tour and introduced himself as Thomas. He has a remarkable talent for explaining the exhibits and keeping visitors engaged in everything they see and hear. He shared a wealth of fascinating information and insights that we had not found anywhere else, presenting them with great respect and a profound understanding of the history of that period. Both my son and I were deeply impressed by this visit, but above all by Thomas's professionalism, knowledge, and dedication. We are truly grateful that we had the good fortune to be guided by someone as exceptional as Thomas. Thank you for making our visit such a memorable experience.

Our guide, Anna, was absolutely fantastic!!! She was incredibly knowledgeable; she brought the museum’s exhibits to life and made us feel as though we were living alongside the people who lived in Krakow during the occupation. She was able to draw connections to other time periods, other countries, and historical events. She asked thought-provoking questions and offered various possible interpretations of why people acted the way they did. She was also great at taking care of the group, explaining the itinerary, and clearly outlining what would happen and how long each part would take. A truly unforgettable experience!

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

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.

Dawid was a well informed guide who presented so much information with great skill! He was very patient and made himself constantly available for questions. So much of the history of what happened in 1939-1945 was discussed. Enjoyed seeing Schlinders desk! Very well done museum. I did not know that the wall resembled tombstones

Excellent guide - well organised and a big benefit is 'skipping the queue'. I knew the story and saw the film but it was very moving to actually see it first-hand and have the story re-told by someone very knowledgeable.

The tour helps visitors gain a detailed understanding of the local historical context in which Schindler had to and was able to act. The guide enriched the narrative with anecdotes, drawing us into the terrible events described.
