The tour was amazing, full of insights and great historical descriptions, our guide Bart, made this experience a very interesting travel in time. Be prepared to listen to a lot of history timelines and details, as well as real comparisons to Hollywood movie 'Schindler's List'. Bart is very experienced and has a great English from which you will understand every piece. The tour was well organized, punctual. If you are interested in the Holocaust history, I highly recommend this tour. Expect to see a museum, not a factory, where you will also walk the famous staircase from the actual movie. The museum has lockers for bags and coats, toilet and cafe with souvenirs. If you book these tickets, you will also have access to visit the Pharmacy from the Ghetto. Enjoy!

The museum visit is extremely interesting and engaging. I recommend taking a guided tour because the guide provides a wealth of information and helps you understand many aspects that would otherwise be difficult to grasp. The ticket delivery system could be improved slightly, as only vouchers are available on the app, and the message from the tour operator informing us that tickets would be delivered at the museum entrance arrived two minutes after the scheduled start time, so we were a little confused when we arrived.

This tour was just perfect education for my children who are currently have this subject in history and following watching Schindler's list film a few days before we attended Oscar Schindler's factory was beneficial as my children answered most of the questions asked by the tool guide which made us proud I would highly recommend this tour to anybody. It does open your eyes and we'll leave long lasting memories for our family thank you very much. They even made a ❤️ made of snow outside so proud

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.

The tour of the museum was very informative overall and highly recommended. We took the tour in English and our guide, Ewa, conveyed the information calmly, clearly, and very understandably. Even as German participants, we had no trouble following her, as her pronunciation was very clear and pleasant. Her background knowledge was extensive, well organized, and never overwhelming. Questions were answered in detail and the tour was always friendly, respectful, and professional. The museum itself focuses less on Oskar Schindler as a person and more on the history of National Socialism in Poland and everyday life under German occupation. It is important to know this in advance, but it does not detract from the visit, as the historical context is very impressive and informative. Even after the tour, they took the time to help us further, for example with orientation and recommendations. Overall, a very successful tour that left a lasting impression.

The tour was 1 hour and half long. It was explained many details, it started as in a time line starting in how was the life in Poland before the war and everything unfolded afterwards. The tour guide was nice and approachable... The museum was full of documents, pictures and scenarios. It is a tour that I well recommend specially if you like History and facts.
