Good Tour

Susan_S, Apr 2026

Very good tour - would defineytly recommend a tour guide rather than just walking around as very informative

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your kind feedback! We’re glad you found the tour very informative and that having a guide made the experience more valuable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again! Best regards, Maciej

Schindlers factory

Carlos_V, Apr 2026

The experience was good, the tour guide was very knowledgeable on the subject and friendly. However due to the amount of visitors, surrounding noise like recordings playing in the background and the actual visitors made hearing some details quite impossible. The tour should be carried out with headphones.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and the guide’s knowledge and friendliness. We understand the noise can make hearing difficult during busy times. We’ll take your suggestion about headphones into consideration. We hope to welcome you again! Best regards, Maciej

A must if in Krakow

Michael_M, Apr 2026

Humbling experience! Everyone should do this tour if in Krakow. The salt mine portion was very interesting

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you found the experience humbling and that the salt mine was so interesting. It’s great to hear the tour left such an impression. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again! Best regards, Maciej

Schindlers factory tour

nicolanolan, Apr 2026

Unfortunately, we weren’t able to take part in the tour due to a mix-up in communication, as the IDs we had weren’t accepted for entry. That said, the guides and agency staff were absolutely fantastic, incredibly helpful, understanding, and professional throughout the situation. I would strongly recommend that anyone planning to visit brings a physical ID rather than a photo, as they won’t be accepted. The office team handled everything very well. They were supportive, apologetic, and have arranged a full refund, which we really appreciated.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry you couldn’t join due to ID requirements. For entry, a physical ID is mandatory and photos aren’t accepted—thank you for highlighting this. We’re glad our team could assist and arrange a refund. We hope to welcome you again! Best regards, Maciej

Great museum

William_W, Apr 2026

Knowledgeable guides and really interesting place, I would recommend visiting here before going to Auchwitz.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you found the guides knowledgeable and the place interesting. Visiting beforehand can indeed provide helpful context before Auschwitz. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again for another experience! Best regards, Maciej

Exceptional guide and highly recommended

Sarah_W, Mar 2026

Exceptional guide. Unfortunately we didn’t realise that we needed photo identification but that was not an issue as we were just booked onto the next tour so we felt really greatfull that we didn’t miss out.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your kind feedback! We’re delighted the guide made such a great impression. We understand the situation with photo ID can be unexpected, but we’re glad it was quickly resolved and you could join the next tour. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you again! Best regards, Maciej

A definite for a know trip

Samantha_T, Mar 2026

Even though I had been before, my partner hadn’t. The tour is not just about Oskar Schindler, but about Krakow pre and post war.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad the tour offered value even for a repeat visit and helped provide a broader view of Krakow before and after the war. It’s great your partner could discover it for the first time. We hope to welcome you again! Best regards, Maciej

Poor organisation

Deborah_C, Mar 2026

Although tickets bought way in advance, time changed and was assured this would be fine. On arrival was told this was not the case and along with 2 other couples with same change of booking time we had to continuously ask what was happening. Eventually we managed to go on tour which was brilliant but felt that Viator had let us down on their organisation of this trip.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the confusion regarding the booking time and understand how frustrating this must have been. Please note that Viator is a separate platform and their booking procedures are managed independently. We’re glad you could still join the tour and enjoy it. We hope to welcome you again! Best regards, Maciej

This tour is NOT about...

Simon_B, Mar 2026

This tour is NOT about Schindler but moreover about treatment of the Jews of Krakow during WWII. Our guide, Fil, was very knowledgeable and made the tour very entertaining.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for your opinion! Yes, the museum tells the history of Krakow during WWII, so it’s a very touching and moving experience, and our guide Fil can always get everyone interested in history. Hope to see you again on some other of our tours!

The Schindlers Factory Tour

Morna_N, Mar 2026

The tour was very interesting and informative and the exhibitions were outstanding, giving us an idea of what it was like at the time. The only criticism is that it was rather rushed so we feel that exhibitions might have been missed. We would definitely recommend the public to visit this sight.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you very much for your opinion. We are glad you enjoyed the museum and find its story interesting. The little rush occurres sometimes due to logistical reasons. But we are sure that our guide made sure that you learned the whole story about which the museum is devoted.

An interesting and informative tour of the history of the Nazi invasion - based in a museum but not Schindler’s factory

Kali_T, Mar 2026

Just to set the scene, this isn’t an actual tour of Schindler’s factory (which is now a museum), it is a museum based in Schindler’s offices. That being said, it was really interesting. The guide was really knowledgeable and interesting and the museum is well designed to take you through the journey of the information.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for your opinion. Indeed, the museum is not a factory nowadays, but it presents a touching and immersing story of Krakow during World War II. We are glad you enjoyed that and find our guide professional.

Not Good, misleading money grabbing

Linda_B, Feb 2026

Terrible experience Not what I was led to believe what I booked Booked with tour guide English , then changed times twice from 1.10 , 4.10 then 4.00 arrived and no guided tour only tickets Refusal to acknowledge even with confirmation and messages stating guided tour

Excellent from start to finish

Cassie_S, Feb 2026

Easy from start to finish. Would recommend. Guided tour helped to understand the history of WW2 & Schindler.

If you're expecting it to reflect the film, it doesn't. Great museum, learned so much about Poland will n general

David_F, Feb 2026

Really interesting and not what I was expecting. If you are thinking the reality reflects the film you soon learn it doesn't. This is more then about Schindler, it is about Poland and the years either side of the war. Guide was hugely knowledgeable, really enjoyed the 90 minutes or so.

Disorganised chaos

TeresaFarmer_F, Feb 2026

Not to book through your excursions. Arrived on time and time had been changed to a later time and we were not informed.

It was alright, can be done better alone

Matthew_T, Jan 2026

The tour was good, the guide knowledgeable. My main complaint is that we were rushed through the museum, skipping some of the exhibits and not always getting the chance to take photos. We had a tour group ahead of us and behind us the whole time, so unless you wanted to lose your group by taking photos or reading more you had to stay with the group. We put our bags and jumpers (it is hot and often crowded inside) in a locker before we entered, the tour guide had the key so that was another reason to stay close to the tour rather than looking at the exhibits. We had 90 minutes inside, the tour guide (not her fault) although very good was rushed, given a script to read out in each room which she did and then moved on. Overall, if I had my time again, I would go in on my own, with my own research, going through the museum at my own pace.

Good tour

Madison_R, Jan 2026

It was a good, informational tour of Schindler’s factory, but it was a bit too big of a group. I still enjoyed it though.

Well worth the time

Marco_v, Dec 2025

Its definitely worth having a guide with this tour. The guide provides the context making the tour come to life rather than it being a collection of pictures and objects. The museum is a personal account of the people during the war in krakov whilst the Auschwitz tour brings home the scale of the horror. Well worth spending 1.5-2hrs here. There is also a tour which focusses more on aspects of the famous film.

Excellent discussion of...

Mark_C, Dec 2025

Excellent discussion of full context of Krakow under Nazi occupation and its relevance to daily activities at Schindler’s factory.

Wait at the front door to meet your guide

Sarah_S, Dec 2025

This was well organised and informative, our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. It was so busy when we arrived so make sure you don’t join the queue (my husband was worried people would think we were pushing in!) so stand at the side and wait for your guide. We were standing on the wrong side in the queue but they called me to ask me to make my way to the front door which was much appreciated. You can leave your coats safely in the reception as it’s quite warm on the tour.

Good and interesting...

Alan_R, Dec 2025

Good and interesting tour. Takes about 1.5hrs. Quite warm inside but leave coats and bags in secure locker. Need ti get tickets in advice with a guide is the best way.

Excellent tour and guide

Joanne_D, Dec 2025

Our tour guide was Alice She was fantastic Just the way she told the stories and her empathetic tone of voice, this made her tour so interesting. Highly recommend this tour. Really excellent insight into world war 2

Sad but a must see

Rebecca_B, Dec 2025

Very informative and educational. The kids and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pnly downfall of the tour is that you go through each exhibit so quickly you don't get to absorb everything.

Krakow during occupation

Roger_C, Dec 2025

This visit is not really about Schindler but is a very informative display of life before and during the occupation of Krakow. There are references to Schindler but do not expect this trip to be about the factory

One of the best tours I’ve ever done

Therese_S, Dec 2025

Very interactive and engaging tour led by the brilliant Kinga outlining the impact of the 2nd World War on Poland and krakow in particular- doesn’t just focus on Oskar Schindler

Brilliant tour

Sam_G, Dec 2025

Brilliant experience - tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour engaging and very informative.

A must do

Cheryl_D, Nov 2025

Really informative tour. Tour guide was was very knowledgeable and open to questions. I really like the letters from prisoners in the ghettos which were translated to English also.

Excellent informative...

Vivienne_W, Nov 2025

Excellent informative guide who brought alive the reality and the brutality of German Nazi occupation

It's the only way to go...

StewartK, Nov 2025

It's the only way to go or you'll be faced with such a long line and wait. Guide was excellent, telling the story of the tragedies met by the Jews and Poles by the Nazis.
