Since there were no guided tours in Spanish left, we joined a group with an English-speaking guide, and it turned out to be a great decision—the guide was fantastic. I don't remember her name, but she was truly exceptional. And the tour of the factory museum was well worth it.

Wonderful tour, the guide was fantastic, very insightful, interesting and willing to answer any questions. Slightly chaotic at the start of the tour knowing where to wait etc but sorted in the end.

Loved the tour as a family. Our guide Foki was super friendly and helpful. The tour was around 2 hours and a half with very interesting information and explanations.

Nice not to wait in line and headsets worked well I am a history teacher and was discipointed that it was more about WW2 and the occupation rather than Schindlers story and the factory aspect. Also the group was too big to see what she was talking about at the time so harder to follow.

Schindlers Factory The location is a museum situated in Schindlers Factory, full of artefacts and information which leads you through the occupation of Krakow during WW 2. There are set times for tour groups , as it does have the potential to become a bit crowded, but groups do move steadily through, inside we found the centre staff very helpful . We received confirmation texts prior to the visit to confirm the meeting point and who our tour guide would be. We met our tour guide Ewa outside as arranged where we were provided with head sets. Ewa was extremely skilled in her presentation, being both knowledgeable and informative. She was passionate in her narrative and inclusive, I am constantly humbled by the strength and fortitude of the tour guides that we have met on this strip , who deal with this awful period of history every day. Ewa also also took us in the Ghetto walking tour where you do see a part of the remaining wall, other land marks , including the memorial square with the bronze chairs, and the ghetto pharmacy ( we visited this later as it was also included in the ticket, the inside has been remodelled to what it originally was). We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and would recommend this tour, we intend to return at some stage to revisit Schindlers Factory as independent tourists to spend more time there. Please note that there is a cafe on site at Schindlers Factory plus a book shop where we purchased the English translation versions of ‘The Krakow Ghetto Pharmacy’, and ‘Childhood Behind Barbed Wire’ ( this one relates to Auschwitz and Birkenau ). They are resonantly priced but a lot more difficult to find in the UK.

The tour of the museum was very informative overall and highly recommended. We took the tour in English and our guide, Ewa, conveyed the information calmly, clearly, and very understandably. Even as German participants, we had no trouble following her, as her pronunciation was very clear and pleasant. Her background knowledge was extensive, well organized, and never overwhelming. Questions were answered in detail and the tour was always friendly, respectful, and professional. The museum itself focuses less on Oskar Schindler as a person and more on the history of National Socialism in Poland and everyday life under German occupation. It is important to know this in advance, but it does not detract from the visit, as the historical context is very impressive and informative. Even after the tour, they took the time to help us further, for example with orientation and recommendations. Overall, a very successful tour that left a lasting impression.

    Very nice, interesting, and the guide was very knowledgeable. You need to have a physical ticket, not a digital one, because otherwise they'll make you buy a new one for 59 PLN.
