An interesting and informative tour - My wife and I found this walking tour very informative and interesting. Our guide was spoke excellent English, spoke clearly and was very easy to understand. It was interesting to hear about the way that the Jewish people were treated before the infamous holocaust.
The exhibition in the factory office building was also very informative and moving. However, you do not visit the factory itself, which was next door. Do not let that put you off going; just don’t expect to tour a factory.

Great tour with excellent guide - Guide was extremely informative and knowledgeable. We had a small group for the walking tour but this did increase in size as more people joined us a Schindler’s factory. I would say this is the only downside.

A tour not to be missed - We had a marvellous guide in Barbara she was so informative and friendly It was a small group size(8) which made asking questions so easy and personal
Particularly around Schindlers factory We then had a tour of the Ghetto area which opened our eyes on how the Jews were really treated by the Nazis there and she was able to tell us many stories of individual families
It’s all very emotional but well worth it

A packed and detailed tour - Enthusiastic host! Really detailed guide that gets you deep into the grit of pre German Krakow and during the occupation and subsequent horrors. I highly recommend this tour as it helps you understand the full timeline of events.

Learn Jewish culture. - An informative short walk by a very knowledgeable guide. A very old part of krakow that not only had a long past but recently was involved in a recent event.
