Tourguide was knowledgeable but the factoey has nothing about Schindler and his saving work or more about him. It was just pictures of the war. We watched the movie and were inspired by his work now to dins put this "factory" is nothing about that. If I would be a living damily member I would be hurt and insulted that thousands of people come To visit Schindler and they dont get what they payed for. This is history and besides one room called "office" norhing about this man who saved thousands. Maybe to reco sider the tour and name of this place. Very dissaapointed like all from my geoup and those we spoke to.

The guide was very good, obviously know a lot about the topic and had a lot of interesting things to say. He seemed to be personally interested in the issue and could always answer questions. The group was also of a good size. It could appear a bit expensive but was well worth the money.

The combination of the Wieliczka Salt Mine and the Schindler Factory offers an extremely comprehensive and dynamic tour that makes excellent use of your travel time. The underground walk through the depths of the mine is visually stunning, with the amazing sculptures and the imposing chapel—carved entirely from blocks of salt—being particularly noteworthy. Furthermore, the subsequent historical tour of the iconic factory provides a moving, profound, and essential perspective for understanding the context of the occupation of Kraków during World War II. The private transportation between the two sites was comfortable, punctual, and efficient, while the tour guide was highly knowledgeable and friendly. Without a doubt, this is a highly recommended experience for travelers interested in history and culture.

The guide was phenomenal- he brought polish history of old and new to life. Still stunned by his knowledge and passion.It gave us total respect for polish people of all eras. He was able to convey the importance of the historical events documented in the exhibition to the context of current events in Central Europe. We could have spent more time talking to him as he had a deep knowledge and unique perspective.

The information provided by the guide. He knew his history and linked this to his own family's experience. The set out of Oscar Schindler's Factory for the tourists was excellent. It allowed learning about the city of Krakow during WWII and then the impact on the Jewish citizens. I would highly recommend this tour as it was so informative and answered many of the questions I had.

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.

There was no line, and I had to wait until the exact time listed on the ticket; they didn’t let me in even 10 minutes early, as stated in the email. Aside from that, the museum is very interesting and modern, with multimedia elements that made it particularly appealing. I was also able to visit the small temporary exhibition on children during the war, which I found very moving.

The skip-the-line ticket was great, especially with all the visitors waiting outside! I do recommend taking a guided tour, though, because there’s so much to see, and it’s helpful to have someone point out the highlights.

A guided tour is a must, since you wouldn't be able to understand everything on display there on your own. The explanation, combined with the story the guide tells, is very entertaining and comprehensive. I highly recommend the guided tour.
