A superb tour of the Old Jewish Quarter in Krakow and a fascinating tour of the Oskar Schindler Museum. Both were booked through Viator and were well managed from start to finish. The Tour Guide was friendly and informative and spoke very good English. Regretfully neither Viator not the Tour Guide could pre-arrange the weather but the day was not a waste of time and it did not dampen our spirits.

This tour is a great choice if you’re looking for historical insight into World War II from Poland’s perspective, particularly regarding the Jewish population in Krakow. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I especially appreciated how she repeated key facts—it really helped the information stick, especially for the kids.
However, I rated this tour 3 stars because of a bait-and-switch by the tour company. Despite being advertised as a tour of Schindler’s Factory, it is not. The actual factory was taken over by the state and now functions as an art museum, which is not included in the tour. Schindler had liquidated the factory before leaving, and today, only one pot and his administrative office remain. What this tour actually covers is the administrative side of the factory, which has been converted into a World War II museum.

Fascinating look at Jewish life in Krakow before and after World War II. Unlike in Warsaw, much of the old Jewish quarter physically survives. The guide was excellent. However, the Schindler tour was a disappointment. The Schindler museum was really focused on Krakow and the Jews during World War II with relatively little to do with Schindler and his factory.
