クラクフ : シンドラー工場ガイドツアー

Our guided tour moved at pace, too quickly to see or hear many parts of the exhibition. But also he merely replayed what was written , so added no value. So why the low score - you may ask? Well being blunt, the exhibition adds very little to the Schindler story, in fact questioned the validity of some parts inaccurately according to my independent research. For example, the gold ring presented to his workers was made up and a Spielberg’s imagination. Well not according the cast held at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum in Australia. There is nothing left of the factory - it’s all gone. Only artefacts remain, which was an unexpected disappointment. Little mention of the gold maxi badge, his role as a spy for the Germans on his country of birth (Czech). Little on the working of the factory and overall a lot of old, out of date/low lever media presentation material. Our most disappointing Krakow experience during our 5 day stay. Sorry if you work there and read this - but you need to up your game - a lot. Footnote - once you’ve finished the tour with a guide you can’t return to pick up all the missed sections. We paid £25, tickets at 60zl (£12) the guide added nothing.

A very interesting place - absolutely worth seeing. The guide we had was excellent - well informed and knowledgeable. The group size was very large which is particularly problematic for this tour. The museum is full of narrow and small rooms which did not accommodate a group of our size, meaning much of the group often couldn't see what the guide was gesturing towards. I'd suggest you explore a smaller group tour

Overall, I’m glad we visited Schindler’s Factory Museum, and I would probably still do it again, but there were definitely some frustrations. The museum itself is very well done, and our guide was excellent. There is a huge amount of information about WWII, Kraków under Nazi occupation, and life during that period, so if you’re interested in the broader historical context, it’s absolutely worth seeing. The exhibits are immersive and informative, and you can tell a lot of effort went into the museum. That said, a few things could have been much better. First, I would strongly recommend booking directly through the official museum website if possible. We booked through a private company, and it was definitely overpriced for what we got. The meeting process before the tour was also very stressful. The person managing the meeting point was late, and because of that everyone started panicking and wondering if we had been left behind. It was chaotic and not a great way to start the experience. As for the museum itself, I was expecting more information specifically about Oskar Schindler and what he actually did. Instead, most of the museum focuses on WWII in general, with Schindler himself only really featured in the last room. Unfortunately, that part felt rushed because the guide moved through it very quickly. One other downside is how crowded the museum gets. Our guide was great, but it was sometimes hard to follow, hear, and even see because of how packed everything was. There really isn’t enough space for a group of 25–30 people to comfortably stay together while also navigating around individual visitors. So overall: worth visiting, especially for the historical context and the quality of the museum itself, but be prepared for crowds, a somewhat hectic tour setup, and less Schindler-specific content than you might expect.

I thank Michael who was a very professional and well-prepared guide even for other questions asked by us visitors.

The voucher does not need to be exchanged at the ticket office; just show up at the meeting point. The ticket office knows nothing about tickets not issued directly by the museum. The girl who accompanied us (I believe her name was Nadja) was wonderful, knowledgeable, passionate in her explanations, and spoke perfect English! I recommend this experience to everyone. In fact, you do not see the factory, but it is a true museum to retrace the events that led to the facts that we all unfortunately know. It is truly worth seeing.

You must take photo id with you or you cannot get in . Passport or Driving licence. I did not read the small print and we were not allowed to go in with the guide but he arranged for our jump the queue tickets to be what’s app over to us and we went back to our hotel picked our passports up and returned later to do a solo tour . We had an amazing time despite our mistake and the guide and Viator were brilliant sorting things out for us . I highly recommend this company for all your trips and exertions.

It was not a factory tour for me, as hardly anything from the factory was shown. It depicted the lives of the people in the city during the occupation. The connection to Schindler's factory seemed marginal to me, even though the exhibits were assembled in part of the factory's premises.

The factory/museum was interesting, but the tour group was oversized. The hallways in the museum are narrow and only half the tour could see or hear the guide at a time. There was not enough room to move and see all the exhibits. Also, there were individuals unaffiliated with the tour that would need to push through the tour crowd. Our guide was great. I would give this 5 stars if the group was half the size.

Very good museum with excellent displays. Our guide David was great. The group on the guided tour was too large for the small spaces.

Most boring part of Krakow. Guide spoke incessantly for 90 minutes, mentioned Schindler 3 times and walked us through corridors with pictures on the wall. Save your money, pass thiss one.
