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!

I think the best part about my visit was the KNOWLEDGE our tour guide had. He explained everything in details, answered questions and even shared his own experiences which made this trip memorable. I visited the museum for many reasons but my main one was to learn about my heritage, our tour guide shared so much history with me I struggled to keep my emotions in. There were soo many things to look at from hand written letters to personal belongings, pictures and other. This place is 1000% worth visiting, as its a place full of memories and at the end of the tour you will definitely have a different look on life. Thank you so much

First of all, the name of this tour should be corrected to "World War II Museum and Information about Oscar Shkinler." The tour is generally well-documented, with nice photos illustrating Krakow's history and World War II, but the Oscar Shindler is only featured in a small part of it. In any case, nice tour for Krakow history and Schindler's job. I quitted the tour early because of another scheduled tour for Wawel Castle. I joinef another tour guide for Getto. I like it much, tour guide was a man graduated from Jewish history. Wall, park, Getto history and houses were perfectly described.

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.

The salt mines is truly an interesting experience, so many great facts shared during the tour and our tour guide paul really knew his stuff. I loved every minute of that experience As for schindlers factory, our tour guide was something else. I personally started the tour thinking this will not be as good as salt mines. I was wrong. The guy that gave us the tour (i did not get his name), is extremely passionate about letting us know about this history. He grasps your attention but how passionate he describes the experience. It saddened me to know the reality of war and the truth behind how people truly get impacted but I still wanted to keep on hearing him describe things to us. He told us about how his family and relatives got impacted, the generations that unfold after war. He grabbed my attention and has truly changed my perspective. Definitely wish to have him again on my other tours which i have on this trip. Wonderful experiences and people which I will take with me home to Malta.

The tour experience was easy to book on the website with options of just the factory tour or an extended walk around the Jewish ghetto which we did and thoroughly enjoyed the informative guide who had an abundance of historical information. At then of the walk we also found out that are ticket gave us free entry into the pharmacy museum which had interactive displays and fascinating information about the people and their lives during the war.

I found the tour guide's passion for history and the World War II era captivating and authentic. He conveyed his incredibly broad knowledge in a very understandable way. He also gave impressive accounts of personal examples and his own encounters with people affected by the Holocaust. The despair and drama of that time came across clearly, as did its impact on the present day. Thank you very much for the impressive tour.
