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

The museum is fascinating; the immersive experience is very compelling—it’s a wonderful discovery. We were pleasantly surprised to discover this museum; the exhibits are really well designed, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in what happened in Kraków at the time.

Informative guided session. However there was no time to read through the display artefacts in the museum due to the guide moving us from one display room to another.

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.

Guide was excellent, however the visitors not on tours were too many , too many interruptions , too disrupting and not long enough at every pic etc - visitors who have not booked tours should have different time slots and tours need to be staggered

The Schindler Factory Tour was a highlight of our city trip to Krakow. Above all, high praise to the tour guide for his detailed and informative explanations. He was very knowledgeable and had a wealth of background information. We were a bit skeptical about whether the tour would really go smoothly. Due to high demand, we had booked online very early and were only able to secure a time slot in English. After paying online, we did receive a booking confirmation with a "View Tickets" button, but nothing happened in the app. When we checked in at the ticket counter, we were brusquely turned away with the message "Third-party provider—please wait outside." But we were listed on the guide’s roster, so everything turned out fine!

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.

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.
