This was a very informative tour. A must if you visit Krakow. Our tour guide Chris was super. Very knowledgeable. This area of Krakow is very important and should be seen. Would recommend.
No visitor will be surprised to learn how much information the Schindler Factory Museum offers. Having Chris as our guide meant we had key highlights and patterns within Schindler’s life pointed out that greatly enriched our experience.
Christopher knows exactly what is important to know and see if time is limited. The touring experience with him is conversational and enlightening! It’s a must!
Having already been with Chris to Auschwitz Birenau, the following day we went on a tour of Schindlers Factory with him. I cannot stress how incredible the tour was. You can walk around the Factory without a guide, but trust me, it is worth the money to have Chris accompany you around. The highlight of the holiday for me.
We were in Krakow just couple of days and we wanted to experience the town as much s possible. We decided for Chris because of his excellent reviews on the net. Chris picked us up at our apartment. The city tour lasted 3 hours and in this time we got plenty of interesting facts about the town, history and Poland itself. Because me and my wife are in the same profession as Chris (tourist guides, local guides, tour directors) we had also some other more technical questions and we got all the answers which we wanted. We really appreciated that Chris is very flexible with the clients. We recommend Chris and if we had more time we would certainly take some other tour with him.
Great one on one tour with with Chris..very knowledgeable and added more to the tour with his easily understood explanations of the exhibits. Highly recommended.
Dear Phil, It was a pleasure to work for you as private tour guide for schindlers Factory Museum Private tour . Hope to see you again in Krakow for other tours! Best Regards Christopher
Christopher was so knowledgeable and fact filled during our tour. I know we got so much more information out of the tour, then if we had purchased the audio. He answered many questions and was able to connect much of the history and information together for us. He did so pleasantly. He didn't treat the tour like it was just his day job. You could tell he took pride in his knowledge and job. I HIGHLY recommend him for a tour....and I've done hundreds of private tours everywhere.
Andrew was fantastic we only wished we could have had another 1.5hrs with of his time. Definitely recommend.
We loved this museum as it is so full of information. But book because the lines go around the block with people waiting to go in
Chris was an excellent guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and my teenagers (14 & 16) learned so much. The pace was good and he answered all our questions. I would highly recommend him as a guide. Thanks Chris.
