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.
