The guide was good, mastered the English language perfectly. During the tour, he went into detail about the history. Throughout the museum he continued to amaze me with the depth of knowledge. He was definitely a positive note on the day. Schindler's museum did not disappoint, very impressive. Comprehensive and in-depth. If I may give 1 dissent, I think it was a pity that you could not walk through the museum on your own after the tour.

It was easy to find the organisator who immediately validated our vouchers. We had a fabulous guide, Magda. She took us through Kazimiers, the Schindler's factory and the Krakau getto. All the time she told us many stories about history as well as about present days. she took care of putting us in the shadow on this hot day, having a nice interaction with each member of our group.

Phil was an amazing guide. He was able to impart a lot of information in a very understandable way. He made is relatable and it was never too much detail about one particular thing. I thoroughly enjoyed ever minute and added on a Ghetto tour while I was at Schindler's factory. I can highly recommend this company as great value for money.

The tour guide was very informative and we really enjoyed listening to the history of the area. Would recommend doing the tour of the factory as a standalone entry without the tour as it is very busy and rushed and we didn't get to view or read everything.

A really informative and fascinating tour. Aga was a great guide, dulling stories and passionate about Krakow, its history and the history of Kraków's Jewish community. She went out of her way to ensure we were well informed and in abreast friendly way.

Your Experience

Kazimierz was the center of Jewish life in Krakow for over 500 years. That is, until it was systematically destroyed during WWII. The area fell into despair during the communist era and was only rebounded after Steven Spielberg brought it exposure through his film, 'Schindler's List.' Kazimierz’s Jewish history is still preserved in the form of the district’s many synagogues and Jewish cemeteries. Today, it is one of the most popular areas in town and is brimming with Krakow's bohemian character - with bars and cafes, antique shops, and art galleries. On your tour, you will also get to visit the Schindler's Factory Museum, where you can pick up some fascinating facts about WWII and see what life was like in the war. You'll also get to know more about Oskar Schindler, the man who saved the lives of 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust.
