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

It's an excellent place to visit and the factory is really well laid out to learn about the history from before the war until the end of war. It covers some really key parts. However the tour itself felt very rushed, we missed some parts because we wanted to read some of the information on the boards as well. It was a big so it wasn't always possible to hear the tour guide if you ended up at the back. I'd love to go back to the museum but I think next time we'd do it at our own pace. Tour guide was also late, and we'd arrived the 15 mins early it said to. In this weather that wasn't fun.

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.

Join an expert-led tour to uncover insider stories and little-known details about the factory and the industrialist who inspired Spielberg’s Schindler’s List.

Choose a guide in your preferred language (English, German, Polish, Spanish, French, or Italian) for a deeper understanding of the Holocaust, ensuring no context is lost in translation.

Your guide provides insight into this complex figure, revealing his motivations, contradictions, and backstory, while leading you through a recreated Jewish ghetto, permanent exhibitions, and key film locations.

Spend more time exploring and less time in lines with priority entry, and discover the stories behind each exhibit that you might miss on your own.

Upgrade with a visit to the Podgórze Ghetto to witness the cramped and harsh living conditions endured by Jews under constant threat during WWII.

The museum is a treasure time capsule which allows a rare look into the past. It was most communicative and felt as if we were travelling in time. I highly recommend it to everyone! 🙏

An extraordinary experience, an exceptional museum, a lesson in humanity in times when humanity itself was in question. The talented guide, fluent in English, very enthusiastic and friendly, with a multitude of very interesting collateral stories, but at the same time with enough statements that do not respect the historical truth about Schindler, whose role in saving 1200 Jews during WW2 he anyway minimized greatly. Schindler is presented with all his known moral flaws, while questioning his humanity in the motivation for saving those 1200 Jews and rather attributing it to a strictly profit-driven interest in using cheap labor, even though it is known how he spent almost his entire fortune on bribes given to the SS to save as many Jews as possible. He also stated that Schindler was never in Israel, because it is forbidden for any former member of the Nazi party to set foot on Israeli territory, even though it is documented that he visited Israel 17 times. He also told us that the story of the ring given to Schindler by his Jews is a lie introduced in Spielberg's film, although it is very well documented: The ring was made by Josef Gross—one of Schindler's Jews, and the original lead mold is on display at the Holocaust Museum in Melbourne, where Gross lived after the war. Or that Roma Ligocka is 92 years old (she is actually 87) and that he is a family friend of hers, visiting her periodically in Craiova, although she is settled in Munich. Upon closer analysis, it seems that in fact a large part of the tour's text is a story with many invented or imagined elements, or personal opinions, to give a certain "color" to the entire message.

Because the guide Margot was exceptional, very interesting and relevant. The presentation was given in perfect French. A small drawback, we didn't have access to the tour with a microphone for the guide and an earpiece for us even though we were 11 tourists... it was annoying during the second part of the tour in the ghetto because there was the noise of the city and we therefore lost listening quality.

The tour guide was absolutely brilliant i cant fault her at all. The two big things that made the tour disappointing were that people not included in the tour started joining the group as we walked through, meaning we were pushed back and unable to hear what was being said. You also don't get time to actually stop and see the exhibitions, it felt rushed through and we didn't get to view everything.
