Definitely worth a visit! - Did the tour today, and found it very interesting and informative. Our guide Wojciech Marchut was fantastic. He added a personal touch by telling us stories about his family in the war. He also took us outside the factory and showed us Schindlers house, which he didn’t have to do. Would definitely recommend for a visit, and definitely get a guided tour!!!

Guided tour of Oscar Schindler’s factory. - This was my second visit to Oscar Schindler’s factory in Krakow. The difference this time was that is was a guided tour. The tour guide put a personal touch to the tour having met with a survivor. So thought provoking and excellent in every respect.

Don’t Do this Tour without a Guide! - It is a little bit of a misdescription of the museum selling this as Schindler’s Factory, which technically it is and there are glimpses into his life in krakow with the office used in the film and his real office, but mainly it is a historical depiction of the war before and during in Krakow. I think if we had gone alone, we might not have enjoyed it so much, but our guide Mateusz was unbelievably knowledgeable, not only with historical facts, but he gave us loads of information on Schindler and little personal stories of people he knew of throughout the tour, which really bought it alive. He was patient and didn’t rush us like in many tours and is an absolute gem of a guide.

Tomasz is the best! - My guide was an amazing gentleman called Tomasz. I was extremely lucky to be the only person on that particular tour so had his undivided attention. Tomasz's passion and knowledge was just incredible and made for an extraordinarily interesting and informative tour.

Interesting experience - While we visited important places in Krakow, one day we had a visit here. A place very crowded with people and you must have patience even you are with a group with tickets took in advance. Inside there are a lot of interesting things and a lot of explanations if you have a guide. A piece of history that we must not forget. Worth it to visit!

Guided English tour - Fell lucky on the day as turned up just in time for the last 2 spaces on the English guided tour. Wojciech, our tour guide, was an absolute star, he told us everything there was to know about Oskar Schindler and the occupation as well as personal stories from his families experience during the war. Both me and my friend came out very satisfied and with a wealth of knowledge that you couldn’t have learned unless being on the tour. 10/10

Oskar Schindlers Enamel Factory - Our visit to the Schindler Factory was a deep, impressive experience that took us back to the beginning of World War II in Krakow. Although you don't see the original factory in operation, the exhibition gives a strong impression of how life in Poland changed with the occupation. The exhibition is beautifully constructed and brings historical events to life in a gripping way. We absolutely recommend booking this tour with a guide. Our guide added many valuable details and managed to guide us through the exhibition in a clear and involved way. The extra insight made this experience even more meaningful and left us with a new perspective on history. A visit to the Schindler factory is an absolute must for anyone who wants to understand more about this eventful piece of history.

Disappointing - The story around what happened in krakow during the war was very interesting & hearing more about the ghetto however, i thought it would be linked to schindler himself & the survivors. Only a short blurb at the very end. Given its called schindlers factory expected to know more about him. Also, there were a lot of photos in albums and through lenses that didnt give you any info at all of dates/times
