The best exciursion, worth the whole trip, The museum is excellent, but we had an unforgettable time because of a brilliant tourguide named Thomas with the yellow umbrella. We were happily only 8 on the tour, and Thomas not only informed us of the history of Schindler’s Factory, but he brought to life for us emotionally, what it had been like to live in Krakow in the 30’s and 40’s. Thomas has a great talent for his job! What a future awaits him! He knows so much and our group was so grateful.

This is a guide of what is was like to live in Krakow during the war rather than a tour of the factory. That said the tour was excellent. Our tour guide Magda was amazing. Her knowledge was fantastic. She had so much information and was so eager to share it. Highly recommend it and great value for money.

Dale was an amazing guide! Lovely experience and tasty food!
