It was so smooth the queues for the trip were massive, but our guide was there and we skipped the queue. She was very informative and made the trip extremely educational and thoughtful. I have already recommended the company to friends and family.

Extremely busy visit to Schindler's Factory. First class and fascinating commentary from our guide. Spoilt by others groups failing to hold back during descriptions of events and by unaccompanied individuals generally just ambling through the museum. I would recommend researching quiet times if wishing to visit this important historical site.

We'd been here once and there was a long queue waiting for us on arrival. I took the tickets then. When we came back to visit this great museum, it was much less crowded. I think we could have visited without booking in advance, but it was convenient.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative. I wouldn't have known what half the things were without her pointing them out. The ghetto tour was a really eye opener and plenty of stories and things to see all around. It was a last minute decision to do the tour (as we were looking at the cheaper self tour option that was unavailable) but so glad we went for the option with a tour guide. Definitely worth the money.

There are actually too many attractions on the pass to even contemplating doing them all. It does not include the bigger ones like Warwel Castle , but we enjoyed the ones we were able to do . Transport system in Krakow is excellent ......but for a visitor who doesn't know it, or speak Polish, a route map when you pick up your pass would be extremely useful. Whilst there is some info on the website, not everybody is in a position to access it whilst on the move. With more information at card pick up it would definitely rate 5*
