Traveler reviews
Schindler's Factory
Wojtek was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, didn't rush us. Explained lots of things that we wouldn't have known just from the displays. Good communication from Discover Cracow throughout. Highly recommend
Brilliant tour
Great tour !!! Very knowledgeable guide with a wry sense of humour. Can't remember his name however he was polish / Australian. Probably the best experience on our trip and learned so much . Thank you
Visit Schindler factory
Very good, experienced guide and quite well disposed
Schindlers Factory.
Book through Discover Crakow otherwise you will be in a lengthy queue. Our guide Woycek met us outside displaying an easy to see sign. We also had a wattsapp message with good information on, where to be, directions ect. There are cafes and places to see in the vicinity of the factory if you arrive early. The Ghetto wall, monuments ect. Without Woycek and his story of how the situation was developing in Poland you would just walk around a museum looking at artefacts. His knowledge and no rush talk through built a picture that allowed us to fully understand this factory, Oskar Schindlar and the slow downgrading and humiliations of the jews. He also took time to explain about the normal day to day life of poles and germans. It was interesting throughout. Woycek allowed us to ask questions and answered with some impressive background knowledge. He also explained what some of the posters and images depicted. Something you just wouldnt have known going it alone. In summary, I think that his tour was excellent. It was more informative and less rushed than our previous days Auchwits. At the end of the tour he took time to show us the best books to buy from a good onsite shop and gave directions to some areas of interest not in the guide books. I thank our guide Woycek he made it a really informative tour. Thanks Woycek.
Interesting visit but busy.
The museum was very interesting and the guide explained parts that were only in Polish. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable.
