Excellent tour - This tour surpassed expectations with an excellent guide to take us around. Some of the insights and history leave you thinking how could that happen but it did. Would highly recommend the guided tour

Schindler's Factory - Wow. The sheer scale of information is exceptional. Well set out and extremely thought provoking. Really hammers home how badly the people of Krakow and the Jewish community were treated under Hitler and Nazi's.

Over crowded tours - Extremely informative and more about the holocaust than about what Oskar Schindler achieved and very little about the factory. Not enough time is given to read the graphics because of being moved along by the group behind you. The party numbers were far to big to appreciate the content of the tour.

Disappointing - We went on the tour expecting to see the factory and learn more about Oskar Schindler but this was not the case. The tour was very informative about the war and its effects on Krakow but very little information about Schindler and how he helped the Jews. The factory was being used as a contemporary art exhibition so we were not even able to see that. I think the title of the tour is misleading and needs to be changed or otherwise it needs to be more geared more to the life of Schindler.

Too crowded. Guided tours spoiled viewing the exhibits. - Skipped the queue fine. Museum staff abrupt and rather unhelpful when we asked if there were guide books waving us away like we were bothering their chit chat behind the ticket glass. Felt disorganised particularly with so many guided tours on the go. Couldn’t get around the exhibit or view anything properly due to so many people standing and blocking on guided tours. Over subscribed and over hyped.

Awful experience - Too crowded couldn’t leave our coats as racks were full even though we had pre booked. Boiling hot and stuffy and guided groups all blocking corridors. Way too much reading and hardly anything else to see and most were replicas anyway. Easier to read about it all on the internet ! Couldn’t wait to get out.
