Michael's tour was outstanding yesterday. Many people will probably turn up expecting to hear a dramatic and sugary re-telling of the Schindler’s List plot. Instead, Michael skilfully explains a more complex story of Kraków’s modern history, and along the way points out some of the differences in Spielberg’s film to other historic records. The museum holds a huge amount of information and the tour brings to life its key points and treasures. Michael’s tour ends with a walk around the former Jewish ghetto, where he saves an interesting real-life plot twist for the end.

Our guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and interesting. My father in law has a few health issues and our guide kindly took that into consideration, we also done the ghetto tour and again it was interesting and we saw a lot of the area. At the start of the tour we wasn't quite sure who our guide was and a few people were confused as there was very little information on the tickets but once we found our guide it was a very worthwhile tour

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

A fascinating tour of the museum which gave us an informed perspective on what occurred in Poland before and during the Nazi occupation. The museum is well laid out, with lots of contextual information, as well as the details of the so-called Schindler's Lists. We also joined the following guided walk of the Jewish Quarter, and that was an excellent way to understand the horrors perpetuated on the many by the few. Very worthwhile.

Joanna was very cheerful and friendly, and she really knew her stuff. She gave us just enough information to fully understand the exhibition. The tour of the ghetto was also very interesting. Joanna managed to convey a lot of information clearly and concisely throughout the tour. In short, we highly recommend her! A big thank you! 😊

The guide was soo knowledgeable. The factory isn't quite what expected but was loads good exhibits and pictures of what went on. Interesting almost no equipment there anymore. Just a couple at the exit. Would recommend even if just to get the feel of the place and the history. Factory area down road actually saved more Jews than Oscars but he's not famous odd how life works sometimes.

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

It was a very educational visit, being able to go into the actual office was fantastic and the raw exhibition displays showing the facts of what happened during the Holocaust was enlightening. Our guide was very enthusiastic about the history but with Polish people in our party, we found exaggerations about the current approaches of the country which was a shame.

Tour through the permanent exhibition, mostly about the war. Some lines about the factory, almost none about Oscar Schindler. Guide said several times " i see that everybody is ready" when you haven't seen half, and several rooms ( Barber Shop , basement ) were mentioned at all.

Our guide was extremely informative, adding a lot more detail and important context to the museum's displays. Some areas of the museum don't have a lot of information on the walls to read, so this made a Big difference.
