I really enjoyed the factory tour however there were so many things that she could've pointed out outside of everything on the walls. Basically we got a tour of this place with discussions of all the pictures and comments about the pictures on the walls. There was so much more in this museum that we missed because we didn't realize that we were only gonna be talking About the walls and pictures. The Guide, however, was very knowledgeable and she was very kind however, I probably would not recommend this Tour if you're on time constraints because you miss a lot of the artifacts and things in the museum that I'm sure are very interesting. However, she did not discuss any of that

Seamless entry to the museum. Whilst we enjoyed it it was very stuffy in the building- needs to be ventilated. Lots of war time history. We knew there would not be any elements of the factory floor to see on the tour but others may not be aware of that fact. Lots to look at and read as we went around but no time allotted to take in these displays whilst listening to our guide and then being moved on. Book shop tiny and coffee/ snack area and toilet facilities the same- far too small for the volume of people who visit. Overall enjoyed the content of the museum very much, just wished there was more time to linger and absorb the displays.

The guide. Good English. Very informative. Would have liked some more time to revisit some of the exhibits as felt rushed at some points when I needed to take in the horrors of what the Polish people had to endure. Group was a little too big. The guide was critical of Churchill at the start of the war and the end but at the start we didn't have the USA on board and the French were a cavalry army like the Poles, not a fighting force to match the Germans. At the end of the war Britain was on its knees. Sad, but decisions had to be made. In all it was an excellent visit and more informative than our visit to Auschwitz the day before.

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.

Appreciated a lot of excellent information but having been to Auschwitz the previous day had thought this to be a factory museum more focused on Schindler. we booked online having chosen English session but we did not have a guide. When enquired ( as same price as Get your Guide with guide,) we were told not included. Very difficult to try and get round with so many groups monopolising the corridors and areas, could not really get to information easily so ended up leaving a little frustrated.,

Great tour, awesome museum. Organization was a little off -- it was confusing who we were supposed to meet and then it took 20-30 mins to get everyone in order and into the exhibit. The museum is not that big, so sometimes it feels awkward being in a large tour group because other visitors are unable to get past or really see the exhibits. Would recommend doing a guided tour just so you see everything, because I'm not sure you would given how crowded all the guided tours make the place.

The guided tour was perfectly organized. The audio equipment was distributed in time, there were no problems with checking and grouping the visitors for the Spanish and English guided tours, everything was prepared properly to help us enjoy the experience. The guide, Kinga, offered a lot of valuable information, guiding the group through the complicated and painful story of the city during WW2 in a very professional manner. Would definitely recommend the tour.

The organizer Ewa was so helpful, caring and thorough. I felt well taken care of while getting ready for the tour. Asia was exceptional! She was extremely knowledgeable and did a wonderful job moving us through the exhibit and explaining what led up to Schindler owning the enamel factory and what happened afterwards. I was completely engrossed in the history she was sharing. It was a fantastic experience. I'm so glad I did it. Thank you Ewa and Asia!

I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting — especially with such a wonderful guide leading the way!
