Very interesting tour. Our tour guide was excellent (I forget his name but he had a beard) with very good English. The tour was just the right length and full of interesting content. I imagine it must be hard talking about such depressing times on a daily basis so I appreciate the guides for the work they do. One thing though would be to have a sign outside saying Tour Meeting Point, as its very confusing at the entrance as there are so many people, and the photo sent prior is different. We went in 15 mins before and we told twice to keep waiting outside when our group had already gone in and we unfortunately missed the start of the tour. Went to the Salt Mines the next day and the signage and queuing process was seamless. Its not difficult.

I really enjoyed the factory tour however there were so many things that she could've pointed out outside of everything on the walls. Basically we got a tour of this place with discussions of all the pictures and comments about the pictures on the walls. There was so much more in this museum that we missed because we didn't realize that we were only gonna be talking About the walls and pictures. The Guide, however, was very knowledgeable and she was very kind however, I probably would not recommend this Tour if you're on time constraints because you miss a lot of the artifacts and things in the museum that I'm sure are very interesting. However, she did not discuss any of that

Seamless entry to the museum. Whilst we enjoyed it it was very stuffy in the building- needs to be ventilated. Lots of war time history. We knew there would not be any elements of the factory floor to see on the tour but others may not be aware of that fact. Lots to look at and read as we went around but no time allotted to take in these displays whilst listening to our guide and then being moved on. Book shop tiny and coffee/ snack area and toilet facilities the same- far too small for the volume of people who visit. Overall enjoyed the content of the museum very much, just wished there was more time to linger and absorb the displays.

    The Oskar Schindler Museum in Krakow is an extraordinarily moving and essential experience for any visitor. It masterfully chronicles the horrific process endured by Polish Jewry, from initial isolation and confiscation of property to the ultimate tragedy in the gas chambers. The exhibition achieves this with a remarkable level of accuracy and authenticity, truly recreating the historical experience for the modern visitor. Excellent use of immersive elements, such as the replica ghetto wall and textured flooring, powerfully brings the dark past to life. The simulation of a railway station platform is particularly haunting, placing visitors directly into a moment of devastating uncertainty. Through superb curatorial choices and impactful staging, the museum tells a story that is both informative and deeply emotional. The use of original artifacts, photographs, and personal testimonies provides an authentic and reliable account of wartime Krakow. Visitors gain a profound understanding not just of the war, but of the immense moral courage displayed by a few. The story of Oskar Schindler, the "Righteous Among the Nations," is rightly highlighted as a beacon of hope against a backdrop of unimaginable darkness. His enduring place in the memory of humanity as a savior of lives is a central, powerful takeaway. This museum is a poignant tribute to both the victims and the extraordinary individuals who stood against evil. We left the museum with a lasting impression of the resilience of the human spirit.

    The tour of Schindlers Factory is amazing, very interactive and our tour guide Alicja was brilliant. She had so much info and is a fantastic storyteller, she really puts you in their shoes for the walk through from Krakow August 1939 right through to the end of the war and the liberation of the factory. It's absolutely chilling but oh my gosh, such an important part of history that NEEDS to be remembered. I would book with her again whenever possible! The tour of the Jewish ghetto was good, a bit less to see but still very interesting and Alicja was very knowledgeable on lots of topics. She also had photos etc to show that she provided herself and you could tell she loved her job and gave it her all. If you're thinking of booking a tour, definitely book with Headout and if you can request a particular guide, it would have to be her!

    The organizer Ewa was so helpful, caring and thorough. I felt well taken care of while getting ready for the tour. Asia was exceptional! She was extremely knowledgeable and did a wonderful job moving us through the exhibit and explaining what led up to Schindler owning the enamel factory and what happened afterwards. I was completely engrossed in the history she was sharing. It was a fantastic experience. I'm so glad I did it. Thank you Ewa and Asia!

    The exhibition was a very interesting look back at the history of Krakow. The unimaginable suffering of the persecuted and murdered Jews was portrayed very well. I would only have liked more texts and captions in German. We would also have liked to have heard the reports of the contemporary witnesses in German. That should be possible in times of audio guides. Many thanks for the great exhibition

    This tour was fantastic, we were met outside the attraction, and taken straight into the venue. We were taken around by Asia who did a wonderful job of explaining everything that we saw and experienced. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to know more of the factory, the Jewish ghettos and the nazi occupation of Krakow.
