What To Expect

Meet your guide and take off through the Planty Gardens to see the former home of Oskar Schindler, who saved the lives of over a thousand Polish Jews during World War II.

Continue to Poselska Street, depicted in one of the tragic scenes in the movie. Then leave the Old Town and travel to the Jewish Quarter in Kazimierz. Home to a large Jewish community from the 1300s to World War II, the landscape of Kazimierz changed drastically during the Holocaust, when the community disappeared as a result of mass deportations. See the old Jewish ghetto on Szeroka Street, also depicted in the film.

After taking a short rest break in Kazimierz, walk to the district of Podgorze, on the other side of the Vistula River. Cross the Piłsudskiego Bridge to the WWII Ghetto in Krakow-Podgorze, established in March 1941. See the remaining part of the original WWII Ghetto wall and Ghetto Heroes Square.

Conclude your tour with a stop at Oskar Schindler’s Enamel Factory, where many Jewish lives were saved during WWII. Today the factory has been renovated into a museum dedicated to the stories and history of the lives lost. Finish the tour in front of the museum, or continue on a guided tour inside if option selected at checkout.

The tour was very good led by a very well informed guide who obviously had a deep understanding of the Jewish history. The only thing missing we felt was we would have liked a little more information about where the scenes in Schlinders List were filmed.

A must do as Krakow is a city of enormous history. Our guide was amazing, fun and full of interesting stories and facts. He was incredible knowledgeable and really took time to answer questions and be personable. We covered so much during our 3 hours and I saw everything I came to see. Thanks! Mary Skelton USA

Very interesting, had a very good guide who's family came from the area before the war and was very knowledgeable,If you have a good guide you do not need to visit the Schindler Factory, just repeats what you already know and our guide at the factory was not that great.

This tour was very interesting and it gave me a lot of insight about the Kazimierz Jewish Quarter. A lot of the sights we visited I wouldn't have gone on my own. A great way to discover one of the liveliest districts in Krakow.

we were late arriving and could not find our group. THere were so many other groups there. It would be nice if they posted the itinary sp so we could have met up. I called the office and thought it would be easy to call the guide to ask where to meet. Not possible. Think that is pretty lame. They were nice and offered to let us go another day - but never sent the voucher.

This walking tour was on a cold rainy day which didn't help the experience. The tour did not allow any time to take photo's and we did not enter any of the buildings. The guide was informative but I felt I needed to revisit the area later, to be able to fully comprehend the events of the past and take photograph's.

I would highly recommend this tour if you're interested in learning about the history of the Jewish people in Krakow. We covered a lot of ground ending at Schindler's Factory during the tour, but the best part was our guide. Big guy with a voice to match, who is a subject area expert in all that he covers. I feel terrible because I don't recall the guide's name, but if you book this tour and see this guy at the beginning, you're in for a treat.

If you want a santised version of WW2 history along with movie locations from Schindlers list this is the tour for you. If you want to know more about the lives and history of those that lived in the Jewish Quarter - don't bother. As you flight your way past other tour groups either on foot or in golf carts the whole Jewish Quarter is completely souless and treated as a theme park rather than a place where the entire population was lost.
