✔️ Bucket List fulfilled - Please ensure firstly that you bring ID with you, unfortunately a couple on our tour were not notified by their travel agent and had to buy tickets again. Schindlers Factory is now a museum about the Nazi occupation of Krakow, and the tour takes place around the old Admin building, a fantastic insight into Nazi occupied Krakow which touches on Schindler but isn’t primarily about him. Very moving though, the second part of the tour around the Jewish Getto was thought provoking but very limited on actually seeing the “getto” has time and redevelopment has taken place and of course the nazi’s destroyed a lot to hide their actions. A very enlightening, educational and enjoyable tour.

The factory tour was very... - The factory tour was very good. Our guide was very informative. The walking tour afterwards was good, also. However, at the end, we were in an area that was cold, dark, and desolate. We asked the guide and the person with her collecting the headsets how to get back to the hotel. They pointed to the taxi stand and left us there, two elderly ladies. We did not see any taxis parked on this lonely street and we had to get back to our hotel in Old Town a distance away. Luckily for us there was a small grocery store very near. The young fellow working there called a cab for us and gave us updates as to when it would arrive. Scary and anxious situation that we were in. We did arrive back at our hotel about an hour after the walking tour ended.

Great way to see both the Schindler's Factory + Jewish Ghetto in an afternoon! - The Schindler's Factory Museum is so well-done and filled with information, so it was great to have a guide to walk us through the most important parts. I felt the pace of the tour was perfect for my interest level, but if you are someone that wants to read all of the bits of information or wants significant time to reflect on what you are learning, you would be better off without a guide. Following up the Schindler's Factory Museum with a walking tour of the Jewish Ghetto was the perfect way to tie in information from the museum to the places where these things actually happened. Very powerful and a great tour.

Heartfelt tour of schindlers factory and the ghetto - Our guide should be rated 10 out of 5. She was a Polish lady who shared her family history and stories during the war times and gave intimate details of every aspect of our tour. She had me in tours on several occasions. She cares so much for her people and what happened in history and we lived her experience.

Five stars; highly recommend - Joanna provided an excellent tour of the factory and of the previous Jewish ghetto. She was thoughtful of her customers. It was a warm day and as much as possible, she held the tour outside in the shade. She was knowledgeable and informed on WWII history, Schindler’s background, and also about other people who took risks to save numerous Jews. Her English is excellent. I also liked that each participant was given a device and headphones so that we could hear her even if we lagged behind.

The first half is NOT a tour of Schindler’s factory. - It is very difficult to write a fair review of this tour. The first half is NOT a tour of Schindler’s factory. It is actually a lecture tour of the invasion and occupation of Poland by Germany and Russia. Meeting outside 10 minutes before the tour was due to start meant we were stood in -8 centigrade temperature. We met our guide and were given a receiver and earplugs. The tour began. The main focus was on the German occupation of Krakow. Our guide was excellent, she had an immense knowledge and passion. We all found it very interesting. By looking out of a window at the rear of the block we saw the roof of where the factory was. At the end of the tour we were shown a display of the ‘pots and pans’ made at the factory and stood in Schindler’s actual office. The tour of the Krakow ghetto was really interesting. Again the guide (same one) had immense knowledge and passion for what she was telling us. Several times, due to the information we heard during the tour, I felt quite emotional, how can people treat others in such a way? Overall the tour was very good, but should not be titled to give an impression that the first part of the tour was of Schindler’s factory, it is not.

Brilliant Schindlers factory and Ghetto tour - Had to do this tour! The tour of the factory is more about the history of 1940s Krakow, including what happened in the factory, whilst dispelling myths generated by the Spielberg film. Bartholemew was a gracious guide, full of knowledge, confidence and self-assuredness. The tour was really interesting throughout, although our group was a little larger than he was used to. It took about 90 minutes, then we had a 30 minute break before setting out on the ghetto tour. His knowledge of the area and it's history was full, deep and really interesting. Unfortunately, there were a few Americans on this part of the tour who seemed to think they knew differently to Bartholamew and kept interjecting with useless nd patently wrong arguements and information. We felt sorry for Bartholemew, who kept his cool throughout our time with him. Again unfortunately, due to this we left the tour early and carried out the rest on our own. No reflection on Bartholemew, whatsoever, he was great.
