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

Eye opening. - Pre-booked this trip to avoid the queues for those without tickets. Took us about 40 minutes to walk from the Old Town though you can also get a tram most of the way. Very good museum with plenty of information and photos to appreciate the terrible atrocities committed and conditions. Mainly about the war and not so much about Oskar Schindler but nevertheless very good and not to be missed.

An interesting history of Poland in WW2 - We had a guided tour. She was very informative, I would probably have gone back around again to look at information/displays by myself as it was hard to listen and look at same time! I had assumed it was a museum about Schindler and his workers he helped to escape the Nazis, however it was more of a general museum about Poland during the occupation.

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.
