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 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.

The guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared many stories about how the invasion of Poland began. There was a lot of interesting information about Oskar Schindler and his wife, who managed to save about 1,000 Jews during World War II. The guide also talked about his personal connections to World War II, which was very interesting and provided a different perspective. The tour concluded with a viewing of photos of the people whose lives were saved thanks to Schindler’s efforts, and we also learned that one of the survivors still lives in Krakow and visited the museum just a few weeks ago. I highly recommend that others take a guided tour. A word of warning: it doesn’t look like a typical museum—the machinery and the factory aren’t preserved in the way they were used during the war—but there are many other interesting things and stories that are worth seeing.

The museum is exceptionally well designed and thoughtfully organized. The exhibition is very well documented, with an impressive collection of photographs, videos, and historical materials that provide a deep understanding of the events and the lives of the people connected to this place. Our guide, a friendly and charismatic Kraków local, was outstanding. He explained the history clearly, passionately, and with great knowledge, making the entire experience both informative and deeply moving. His engaging way of telling the stories kept everyone interested throughout the tour. The tour started exactly on time and was very well organized. Upon arrival, everything was ready, and our names had already been registered, making the check-in process quick and seamless. We highly recommend this guided tour to anyone visiting Kraków. It is an unforgettable experience that offers a meaningful insight into an important chapter of history.
