A well put together tour which ran very smoothly. A very emotional and difficult day made easier by efficient transport and informative but sensitive guides.

Auschwitz is chilling. Guide described the horrors well, in a respectful way. The Guide at Schindlers Factory was also very knowledgeable. This tour is more about the history of Krakow during WW2 and not so much about Oskar Shindler.

The concentration camps were something everyone needs visit. However, skip the factory. Nothing to do with Schindler. Not even mentioned. Should just say Krakow information.

This tour was amazing and a must. If I did this all over again I may not have booked Schindler’s and Auschwitz in the same tour as it made for a very long day with a lot of waking but it is doable. Just be prepared with good walking shoes :) this was a trip of a lifetime and I will never forget it. Side note: we were never offered the boxed lunch but Auschwitz has a cafe so we didn’t go hungry but it may be a good idea to bring some snacks. Dziękuję!mflores0924

Where to begin - Direct Krakow was AMAZING. Our tour guide was safe with transportation - picked us up from the front door, was early! Kept us entertained and very knowledgeable. We started the day with Auschwitz, which in itself is an experience. VERY emotional tour but absolutely worth it. So much history to be learned and walking in the victims and survivors footsteps is unimaginable, unforgettable. Next, we were taken to the Oskar Schlinder Factory where our tour guide waited until it was over for us to be dropped back off at home. We had actually added this tour last minute and Direct Krakow was very understanding and accommodating - very appreciated. The only thing - is be prepared with payment. Make sure if you are paying online in advance that the transaction actually gets processed. We had booked our Auschwitz months in advance and were told the day of that we had a remaining balance. Highly recommended to use Direct Krakow - I can't think of a better tour company!
