A very pretty museum with very well-presented reconstructions of scenes from life... total immersion! However, we had 3 minor drawbacks: -all in all, very little about the factory and Schindler...we expected more! -our arrival: confused! No information on where to go with our queue-cutting tickets! Little or no incantation! - French language requested: but unfortunately no French audioguide. Comments in Polish or English! So unfortunately and regrettably we were only able to look at the photos and do a few translations via Google translation! But all in all, the museum is very pretty! And a very friendly, smiling young lady was a great help.

Very happy we got the tour. I was worried for a minute that we weren't going to find out guide but it was easy. The guide was right there on time. Since the museum is small, meaning the rooms are small it was a bit crowded but the guide managed for us all to hear her well. Very interesting and without a guide it would be difficult to read it all and understand the magnitude of what happened there. She pointed out many small things but important. She also tod us about the ghetto wall and we walked there oursleves. It was the last minute decison the night before to book a tour and I am very happy we did.

Extremely busy visit to Schindler's Factory. First class and fascinating commentary from our guide. Spoilt by others groups failing to hold back during descriptions of events and by unaccompanied individuals generally just ambling through the museum. I would recommend researching quiet times if wishing to visit this important historical site.

The skip the line ticket was the way to go. We have been traveling and going to multiple museums, so we opted not to have a tour guide, which was good because we could visit and read the details we wanted rather than being brushed passed like I saw some guides do. It was much busier that expected, so but a ticket ahead. It was well worth the visit. Incredibly detailed, staged to get a feel for what it was like back then. Very well done. Go!

Felt like the group could have been smaller as sometimes we were at the back and couldn't see what he was talking about and by time we got to it the group had moved to next stage.very interesting on the whole.would recommend to anyone coming to poland from scotland

I would recommend the guided tour to anyone, as the tour guides are all knowledgable and offer the sort of information you wouldn't get simply exploring on your own. A very reasonably priced experience, being able to skip the inevitable queues, that's worth it alone, but having an experienced and articulate guide to take you on a tour, that makes for a truly fantastic experience.

We didn't have to wait in line to enter the tour, our tour guide met us outside the venue and led us inside after she had explained what would happen and gave us group coloured stickers. The tour was good, although a bit hectic at times with other groups crossing ours, or individual passing our tour group, as we were part of a tour we didn't really have time to look closely at the photographs and memorabilia, but the guide did explain everything fully to us and try to make the history come alive, so it was a trade off between trying to discover for ourselves. Our guide some very good English, but occasionally it was difficult to understand mannerisms, accent etc, but completely understandable between different languages and cultures. Definitely worth visiting!

It was well put together, just we didn't get to see quite a bit as we kept rushing through and not having the chance to look at the exhibits properly.
Monica

Our guide did a great job of explaining all parts of the tour. As other reviews have stated it is more of a museum of the persecution of Jews in Poland during WWII. So much information to try to absorb that the couple of hours is not quite enough time to see everything in the old factory building. I would recommend for anyone wanting to learn more about this important topic.

Walking tour seemed inconsistent - rushed in some areas and repetitious in others. Spent too long walking round and round the same area of Kazimierz with little new information. Lots to see in the Schindler Factory but limited time available. Factory was history of the war rather than a detailed history of Schlinder and his exploits.

Extremely Disappointing Tour – Not Worth the Money I had high expectations for the walking tour of Oskar Schindler’s Enamel Factory, but it turned out to be a frustrating and disappointing experience. The wired headsets provided were of very poor quality – the audio kept cutting out and I could barely hear anything the guide was saying. On top of that, the group was far too large, making it impossible to get close enough to the guide to hear them directly either. The time slots between groups were way too close. We were constantly too near the group ahead of us, and the group behind us kept catching up. As a result, there was no opportunity to stop, absorb, or read any of the exhibition content on our own. The whole tour felt rushed and overcrowded, which really took away from what should have been a powerful and reflective experience. We paid PLN 53.18 per person for this tour, and frankly, it was not worth it. I’m very disappointed and would like to request a refund or some form of compensation for this poorly organized and underwhelming experience.

Superb Site – But Book Direct to Avoid Overpaying! The Wieliczka Salt Mines themselves were absolutely superb – a truly fascinating and unique experience that’s well worth a visit. The underground chapels, sculptures, and sheer scale of the mines are breathtaking, and the guided tour (which is included with the entry ticket) was informative and engaging. However, we were disappointed with the booking company we used. We paid a significantly higher price under the impression we were getting a special guided tour, only to find out that the site includes a guided tour for all visitors as standard. Had we booked directly with the salt mines, we could have saved a considerable amount of money. The experience itself is quite physically demanding – lots of walking and stairs – so wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for a bit of a workout. Despite the booking issue, we have no regrets about visiting. Just a word of advice: book directly with the salt mines to avoid unnecessary extra costs.

The tour guide was great and very informative. It's a great experience if you don't mind walking lots of steps but you take the miners lift back up to the top. I'd advise arriving at least an hour before your tour if you wish to store luggage as there simply is not enough lockers to go around, so you will have to wait around for someone to retrieve their bags.

Tickets are timed and you literally turn up 10 minutes or so before your time slot to meet your guide and off you go. An amazing experience with knowledgeable guides. The beauty of the place took our breath away. Just be prepared to walk. A lot! Tiring but enjoyable- we will return again one day.

This was easy to book and from start to finish it was absolutely amazing. The tour guide was informative and fun. What an amazing place. Definitely worth a visit. So much to see. We even stayed and had a drink in the cafe in the caves. After licking the walls and inhaling the healing air we were super thirsty. Thank you to all for an amazing visit 🤩 We visited from krakow and got an uber from our apartment.

Great experience for healthy walkers; but with the amount of money you receive, having a shortened tour with a down elevator to start (perhaps 1 or 2 levels only) for slower walking persons, would increase income from families who all want to participate?

Very happy we got the tour. I was worried for a minute that we weren't going to find out guide but it was easy. The guide was right there on time. Since the museum is small, meaning the rooms are small it was a bit crowded but the guide managed for us all to hear her well. Very interesting and without a guide it would be difficult to read it all and understand the magnitude of what happened there. She pointed out many small things but important. She also tod us about the ghetto wall and we walked there oursleves. It was the last minute decison the night before to book a tour and I am very happy we did.

Extremely busy visit to Schindler's Factory. First class and fascinating commentary from our guide. Spoilt by others groups failing to hold back during descriptions of events and by unaccompanied individuals generally just ambling through the museum. I would recommend researching quiet times if wishing to visit this important historical site.

Visit started right on time, and guide was very informative also adding in a bit of humour to what is a sad tour. Felt like the group could have been smaller as sometimes we were at the back and couldn't see what he was talking about and by time we got to it the group had moved to next stage.very interesting on the whole.would recommend to anyone coming to poland from scotland

We were given an enormous amount of information about Shindler's help and also about his personal background. There is a lot to see in the factory and in terms of information actually everything from the war time is told. A very impressive tour.

The number of museums, so you can also see things that you wouldn't have had on your agenda and then experience one or two positive surprises. The Krakow Underground and the Archaeological Museum are particularly well prepared! to improve: Some of the museums did not know whether they were included in the pass or not. The code reading machines often didn't work, the staff often didn't know how to use them outside the norm. They didn't know that you can switch the long device to a different mode that can also read QR codes and not the usual barcodes! That's why I had to argue at almost every museum, the worst was at Schindler's Factory (which is generally very poorly organized and structured!) In the end, with effort, explanation and friendly conversation, we got in everywhere we wanted to go. It would therefore be important to provide the barcode as well as the QR code! Also a small digital folder with the museums that are included, as otherwise you often get lost and then don't go there again!

A very pretty museum with very well-presented reconstructions of scenes from life... total immersion! However, we had 3 minor drawbacks: -all in all, very little about the factory and Schindler...we expected more! -our arrival: confused! No information on where to go with our queue-cutting tickets! Little or no incantation! - French language requested: but unfortunately no French audioguide. Comments in Polish or English! So unfortunately and regrettably we were only able to look at the photos and do a few translations via Google translation! But all in all, the museum is very pretty! And a very friendly, smiling young lady was a great help.

The skip the line ticket was the way to go. We have been traveling and going to multiple museums, so we opted not to have a tour guide, which was good because we could visit and read the details we wanted rather than being brushed passed like I saw some guides do. It was much busier that expected, so but a ticket ahead. It was well worth the visit. Incredibly detailed, staged to get a feel for what it was like back then. Very well done. Go!

I liked everything about the exhibition. It was shown very well, especially for people who probably hadn't dealt with it before, what it was like during that time and what the Jewish people had to suffer. It is still sad and a reminder that something like this must never happen again. Respect to all those who helped in a similar way or even in small ways, like Oskar Schindler.

The interactive exhibits were great, and lots of information on the history panels. Read the ticket instructions carefully. We were overwhelmed by the crowds when we arrived and a little confused about lines. We chose no tour to enjoy the interactive exhibits which those on tours were not able to experience. However, the tour guides are very loud dispite everyone having headphones making it distracting. They filled the narrow space blocking pictures and reading material or to pass. Just staying behind the group to avoid the problem we got yellled out.

To be honest, 'awesome', used in your star rating, is not the word I would want to use for this type of museum. This was one of the best presented Museums that my wife and I have been to. Superbly well constructed and laid out. In parts powerful and moving. Wonderful pictures, film clips and exhibits, all of them given clear historical descriptions. An excellent exhibition I woul urge everyone to visit. The ticketing process was clear and simple, the only small issue, I would like it to be made clearer at the entrance, what the procedure should be, exactly where to go for people with pre bought tickets like ours, but that is being slightly picky.

Events
Oskar Schindler's Factory holds regular events, including curated tours of their existing exhibitions, in a bid to provide visitors with a deeper understanding, not only of the war but also the senselessness of it.
Some events tend to be more light-hearted. One such event focuses on a part of the core exhibition that is devoted to the history of clothing and fashion in the 1930s, aiming to illustrate the changing fashion, which is, in turn, reflective of social and economic changes.

The skip the line ticket was the way to go. We have been traveling and going to multiple museums, so we opted not to have a tour guide, which was good because we could visit and read the details we wanted rather than being brushed passed like I saw some guides do. It was much busier that expected, so but a ticket ahead. It was well worth the visit. Incredibly detailed, staged to get a feel for what it was like back then. Very well done. Go!

Headout ticketing made our visit to Schindlers Factory an enjoyable and memorable experience. Their ticketing made everything simple and worthwhile. We had seen Schindlers list and read much about the Nazi invasion of Europe , but the museum provided much more insight and info to that dark prriod of Polish and European history.
I would highly recommend visiting Schindler's factory.

The number of museums, so you can also see things that you wouldn't have had on your agenda and then experience one or two positive surprises. The Krakow Underground and the Archaeological Museum are particularly well prepared!
to improve:
Some of the museums did not know whether they were included in the pass or not.
The code reading machines often didn't work, the staff often didn't know how to use them outside the norm. They didn't know that you can switch the long device to a different mode that can also read QR codes and not the usual barcodes!
That's why I had to argue at almost every museum, the worst was at Schindler's Factory (which is generally very poorly organized and structured!) In the end, with effort, explanation and friendly conversation, we got in everywhere we wanted to go.
It would therefore be important to provide the barcode as well as the QR code! Also a small digital folder with the museums that are included, as otherwise you often get lost and then don't go there again!

We loved everything except the lady working at the infokrakow office didn't have any idea how to make the cards. It took her almost 30 minutes to make the cards.
