Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging, he was friendly and able to answer any questions we had on a rather harrowing subject

It turns out that Oskar Schindler was not the hero we all thought he was. Steven Spielberg created a story that was hugely embellished to make a best selling movie

To get the most out of this tour you really need a guide speaking in your chosen language. It will help you understand the story behind the events of that dreadful time for the people of Krakow. Book a tour beforehand to avoid the queues. The one we had allowed cancellation 24 hours before. The tour we had was two hours, it’s quite tiring as there is no seating to take a rest. It was also very busy with lots of visitors who were not on guided tours and had little choice but to walk through your group interrupting the speaker. However, It’s well worth a visit particularly if you do the concentration camp tours as well. The stories are linked. Bags/backpacks are not permitted inside but there are free lockers to leave them in plus a cloakroom. If you need to go to the loo then go before your tour starts. There are facilities available for both men and women but there was a huge queue for the ladies. It was hot inside so plenty of visitors wearing shorts. All in all a somber but good experience, if you are in Krackow this is one site you should visit.

The guided tour was very informative although I regret not staying after the tour had finished. I would suggest that you stay and go around again to see the stuff that was missed

Good trip, only negative was I thought our guide was difficult to hear, especially for my dad so just a shout out to older visitors! Maybe a bit rushed, felt like we skipped some parts and went straight to the main so great for people on a timeline but if you have time, I’d go solo

We booked skip the queue tickets online the day before, I suggest it’s a must do, just turning up and queuing can be quite long. It’s easy to get there, 3 trams run to within a few minutes walk of the factory from around the main square area, a taxi from the square is about £9 or 50 Zloty, but negotiations are required, there’s no meters. It’s very warm and busy once inside, and tour groups are passing through constantly, so it’s hard to actually stand and read the information and look at the pictures or relics. It was an ok visit, interesting just to see the parts that are still intact, but overall just average, probably best to watch the film before visiting, you’ll understand it more when you visit.

The English speaking Guide was excellent. HOWEVER the tour is timed so there is no time to look at the exhibits and you CANNOT go back thru to see anything you have missed or want to read more about. The Guide stops at some special items and explains details but you cannot stop to examine them yourself. The spaces are cramped and overcrowded with the numbers of people that are being pumped through in the short time allowed. Very disappointing and I wouldn’t recommend Schindler’s Factory as a site to visit.
