This is a route that combines a walk through places linked to the Krakow ghetto, stories about everyday life before and during World War II, and a visit to Schindler's Factory - an ideal option for companies looking for a tour with character, reflection, and the possibility to include an educational or team-building element.
The tour is led by a licensed guide who combines reliable knowledge with empathy and sensitivity to the subject - important when a corporate group wants a visit that is both informative and emotionally comfortable.
The route is available as a 2-hour or 4-hour option. The 2-hour option provides a solid introduction to the history of the ghetto and the memorial sites, while the 4-hour variant includes the possibility of entering Schindler's Factory and a more relaxed walkthrough of the exhibition - often the best choice for corporate groups that want to combine a walk with a museum visit.
For companies planning integration or team-building, the longer version is recommended because it gives more time for reflection, post-visit discussion and short activities (for example brief reflective workshops or a coffee break in a convenient spot).
Entry to Schindler's Factory is possible when you choose the 4-hour option. Admission tickets are an additional cost - an example price given at booking was 36 PLN (regular) and 32 PLN (reduced), but prices can change, so it is worth confirming current rates before booking.
The guide assists with ticket purchase and advises on the best visiting times to avoid queues - for corporate groups I recommend booking in advance, especially in the tourist season and during conference dates or large events.
The tour is led by Małgorzata Kasprowicz - a licensed Krakow guide since 2012, who has shown around many thousands of visitors and has experience working with school groups, families and corporate groups. This matters when the subject is difficult and requires tact.
Małgorzata also holds museum licences for selected locations in Krakow, which simplifies formalities for entries and allows smooth guidance of the group within museum spaces.
We usually meet in central Krakow - popular starting points are the Main Market Square by the Adam Mickiewicz monument or another pre-arranged location convenient for the group. The exact meeting place is agreed individually after booking.
For corporate groups it is worth planning: transport (coach, minibus), short coffee breaks, informational material handed out to participants and the number of attendees - the guide works with groups of up to several dozen people, and for larger groups a headset system is used so everyone can hear clearly.
Dress according to the weather - the walk includes outdoor sections and a museum visit. Comfortable shoes and layered clothing work best.
For corporate groups I recommend: a program card for participants, clear information about the meeting point, a short reminder about the estimated tour duration and a note that museum tickets are paid extra - the guide can help with purchases. For larger groups it is good to reserve a headset set (available for an extra fee) so everyone hears the story clearly.
Does the guide speak English? - Yes, tours are available in Polish and English, which makes hosting international teams easier.
Are the prices quoted for the whole group? - Yes, guide service prices are often quoted as a price for the entire group regardless of the number of participants within a specified bracket (details and current rates are arranged at booking).
Is the route suitable for people with limited mobility? - The route includes outdoor sections and entry to a museum, so accessibility of specific sites must be considered. Before booking it is worth indicating any special needs so the guide can prepare the route with participants' comfort in mind.

Planning ahead - especially in high season and for larger groups - increases the chances of preferred entry times to Schindler's Factory and better tailoring of the program to the company's needs.
- Book the date in advance if you plan to enter Schindler's Factory.
- Specify the number of participants and inform about any limited mobility needs.
- Prepare logistical information for participants - meeting place and time, estimated tour duration, and note about additional charges for museum tickets.
- Decide whether you need a headset system (recommended for groups of 20+).
- Inform the guide about any program expectations - integration, educational element, or time for a short company presentation.
After the "Ghetto and Schindler's Factory" route I recommend a short group debrief - 10-15 minutes for reflection and conversation helps participants process the information and gives the tour added value for the team.
You can also combine the visit with dinner in central Krakow or a short integration meeting - Krakow offers many intimate venues suitable for larger groups.
