Kazimierz and Schindler - an education and a joy ... - A superb tour of the Old Jewish Quarter in Krakow and a fascinating tour of the Oskar Schindler Museum. Both were booked through Viator and were well managed from start to finish. The Tour Guide was friendly and informative and spoke very good English. Regretfully neither Viator not the Tour Guide could pre-arrange the weather but the day was not a waste of time and it did not dampen our spirits.

Very Informative and Moving Tour - Signing up for this tour is a great way to get to see historic points of interest and skip the (very long) line at the Schindler museum. The people of Krakow have done a magnificent job of cultivating an experience that walks you through the tragic days from the Nazi invasion through liberation. Do not miss this tour, it is worth every minute!

Fascinating - Our tour guide Margaret was brilliant. Her local knowledge and personal experience of life in Poland was fascinating. Thoroughly recommend this tour. The Schindler factory tour was not what I expected but we enjoyed it regardless.

Thoroughly recommend ***** - We went on a tour with Helena to the Jewish Quarter and the Shindlers factory we were hooked! So much so we stayed another hour to explore the Ghetto with her…. Her passion to educate around the despair and devastation for all involved in the time of the Nazi occupation made it emotional for us, we thought we knew most of what happened here… oh how wrong we were! So much to learn in this trip about Poland, Jewish faith, beautiful buildings, story’s both devastating and inspiring, Thankyou Helena for such an detailed and informative insightful tour, we would recommend you book this tour!!

A great opportunity to... - A great opportunity to learn about the history of the Jewish people in Krakow. I wish I had more time to explore the individual synagogues but our tour guide Filipe was very helpful in sharing images about how the area used to look and even some images of shots filmed during Schindler's List, even sharing that Spielberg made some "creative" decisions around location. The Schindler museum was great as well and told a larger story of the Holocaust beyond just Schindler.

Kazimierz and Schindler’s Museum: Stories That Resonate - Strolling through Kazimierz’s vibrant streets gives you a glimpse into its rich Jewish history, while the Schindler’s Factory Museum takes you on an emotional journey through Kraków during WWII. This tour is both thought-provoking and memorable, weaving culture and history into a truly unforgettable experience.

A Fine Tour Light on Schindler - Fascinating look at Jewish life in Krakow before and after World War II. Unlike in Warsaw, much of the old Jewish quarter physically survives. The guide was excellent. However, the Schindler tour was a disappointment. The Schindler museum was really focused on Krakow and the Jews during World War II with relatively little to do with Schindler and his factory.

Good overview walking tour - This was a good overview walking tour of the Jewish Quarter in Krakow. The guide took us to the main attractions and discussed them. The style was a bit mechanical. For the Schindler's Museum I would not do a guide. The museum is really comprehensive. You could spend at least a half day there. Because of the time limit on the guided portion I felt we were rushed. This is not the guide's fault. It is more of a preference of how I would do the museum.

WWII Tour NOT Schindler’s Factory - This tour is a great choice if you’re looking for historical insight into World War II from Poland’s perspective, particularly regarding the Jewish population in Krakow. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I especially appreciated how she repeated key facts—it really helped the information stick, especially for the kids. However, I rated this tour 3 stars because of a bait-and-switch by the tour company. Despite being advertised as a tour of Schindler’s Factory, it is not. The actual factory was taken over by the state and now functions as an art museum, which is not included in the tour. Schindler had liquidated the factory before leaving, and today, only one pot and his administrative office remain. What this tour actually covers is the administrative side of the factory, which has been converted into a World War II museum.
