Our tour guide was very informative and pleasant. We used headsets but thankfully rarely needed them. The museum is about what poland was like during the war. Great knowledge and displays created this visual awareness and sense. Lots to take in.

Our guide around Schindler's factory was extremely knowledgeable which made the tour very interesting. We felt that there were too many in the group which made it difficult for us all to get in some rooms together. The nature of the building lends itself to smaller groups. We went on the Ghetto tour with the same guide and found the tour extremely interesting and thought provoking.

Very informative and gut-wrenching. I appreciated getting to walk around the Old Jewish Ghetto afterwards. The Chairs in the Square were particularly haunting and affective.

The tour of the factory and the former Jewish ghetto was very interesting, the guide Agnieszska masterfully and passionately led us through the history of the places we visited, part of Krakow, and it was exciting.

The guided tour of the Museum was very interesting. It was less crowded than Auschwitz and the Salt Mine, and the tour group was smaller (there were 10 of us). The explanations given by our guide, Margot , were very clear and helped us to better understand the content on display. Please note, however, that this is not a museum about Schindler alone, but rather about the history of Krakow's Jews, which in no way detracts from the interest of the visit, which allows us to understand the context of Schindler's List. I recommend watching Spielberg's film again before the visit. For the visit to the ghetto after the Museum, we were lucky enough to be the only ones with my partner to go on. Margot showed us in town what we wouldn't have seen on our own, and her explanations and our exchanges were rich. Many thanks to her!
