How many people are needed to take a tour of Kazimierz that includes a visit to Schindler's Factory? The short answer: you don't need a large group — you can come alone, as a pair, or with a bigger group. In Małgorzata Kasprowicz’s offering the “Ghetto and Schindler’s Factory” tour is available for small groups from 1 to 35 people, which means the minimum number of participants for a private booking is 1 person. If you want to join a pre-scheduled group date or a joint trip organized by an office, rules may vary — it's worth checking with the organizer.
Visiting the Oskar Schindler’s Enamel Factory museum and walking through Kazimierz are two parts of the visit: a stroll through Kazimierz’s streets does not require formal limits, while entry to the museum follows ticketing rules and the exhibition schedule. That’s why I always recommend booking in advance — especially outside the high summer season and on weekends, when museum tickets sell out fastest. The visit to the museum usually takes about 1.5–2 hours, and the whole walk (Kazimierz + exhibition) — 2–4 hours, depending on the chosen option.
Practical note: you can book a shorter route (walk through Kazimierz only) or an extended route including entry to Schindler’s Factory; the option and timing are agreed when you make the reservation.
The offer from guide Małgorzata Kasprowicz is flexible and tailored to different needs: from individual visitors to corporate and school groups. Standardly: - the “Ghetto and Schindler’s Factory” route is available in 2- or 4-hour variants; - you can choose just the walk through Kazimierz (without museum entry) or an extended tour including entry to the Schindler Factory; - small groups are handled from 1 to 35 people, so the minimum is 1 person; larger groups (over 35 people) are usually handled with logistical arrangements (splitting into subgroups, use of audio sets, etc.).
Guide service prices are quoted per group or per person depending on the variant; museum tickets are usually paid separately. The guide helps with ticket purchase and will advise the best time to visit to avoid crowds.

In recent months the Oskar Schindler’s Enamel Factory museum has updated its ticketing rules and the way the exhibition operates. Key practical changes to remember: - online ticket sales are handled through a system — name data may be required when buying electronic tickets; - the museum limits the number of tickets available each day, so entry passes sell out quickly; - for group tickets you usually must agree the number of participants in advance and often provide a list of names; the possibility to change names in a group is limited (check current rules before purchase); - the museum emphasizes punctuality: arriving at least 10–15 minutes before the scheduled time is standard, and arriving late may mean you cannot join the planned group entry (groups enter strictly at the scheduled time).
So when planning your visit: - buy tickets online in advance, - collect accurate participant details if you plan a group entry, - allow time for security checks and luggage drop-off, - remember possible new rules about named tickets and daily limits.
In practice the guide (if booked) can assist with reserving group tickets and coordinate entry so the visit runs smoothly.
Do I need a minimum number of people to book a guided tour? - No. With Małgorzata Kasprowicz you can book a private tour from 1 person.
Are tickets to Schindler’s Factory included in the tour price? - Usually museum tickets are charged separately. The guide will help purchase them or give instructions on how to buy online.
Do I have to provide the full names of participants? - If you buy tickets online to Schindler’s Factory, named tickets may be required. For group bookings prepare a list of participants — many systems limit name changes.
What happens if someone is late? - In most cases groups enter at the scheduled time and latecomers will not be able to join that entry. We recommend arriving earlier.
How long does the museum visit last? - The exhibition visit alone usually takes 1.5–2 hours. The whole tour including Kazimierz typically lasts 2–4 hours, depending on the variant and the group’s pace.
Meeting and logistics - agree on a meeting point that’s convenient for everyone: popular spots are the Main Market Square (Adam Mickiewicz monument) or another agreed location in the center. The guide will confirm the exact place and time after booking.
Clothing and pace - the route includes walking on cobbled streets in Kazimierz and a few short inclines; comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are essential.
Baggage and security - the museum may restrict large bags; leave luggage at your hotel or use storage facilities.
Sound and comfort - for larger groups audio sets are used; when booking a private group the guide will inform you about available equipment.
For families with children - the narrative can be adapted for younger listeners; it’s good to let the guide know children’s ages in advance so the storytelling can be adjusted.
After the tour it’s nice to stop for coffee or lunch — Kazimierz and the area around Schindler’s Factory have many pleasant places. A few suggestions: - Alchemia (Kazimierz) - atmospheric café and restaurant popular with visitors; - Hamsa (Kazimierz) - Middle Eastern / Israeli cuisine, friendly to vegetarians; - Plac Nowy (food stalls and small bars) - quick local flavors; - MOCAK Café (at the Museum of Contemporary Art MOCAK, near Schindler’s Factory) - good coffee and a place to rest after the visit; - Forum Przestrzenie (on the Vistula riverbank, near the center) - relaxed spot with a view of the river.
Recommendation: check opening hours and whether you need to reserve a table, especially on weekends and in the high season.
If you’d like something specific, I’m happy to suggest a place that fits your culinary preferences (vegetarian, traditional Polish, quick snacks, etc.).
