Małgorzata is a licensed Kraków guide with experience and passion. She has led many groups and thousands of visitors, combining solid historical knowledge with anecdotes and gentle humor — making the tour engaging for both adults and children.
Her offer includes classic routes along the Royal Route, Wawel and Kazimierz, as well as themed tours and itineraries off the beaten path. Małgorzata holds permissions to guide in several important museum sites and uses headset audio guides when helpful, which increases comfort for groups, especially in crowded places.
In practical terms — the guide helps with booking tickets to selected museums and attractions, handles group logistics and advises how to optimize your time so you see the most important places and feel the city’s atmosphere. That’s especially useful when you want to make the most of a short stay in Kraków.
The Main Market Square is the heart of Kraków — from the Cloth Hall and the Town Hall Tower to St. Mary’s Basilica. With Małgorzata you’ll hear not only dates and facts, but also stories that bring places to life: tales about the merchants in the Cloth Hall, the trumpeter’s hejnał and everyday medieval life in the city.
The Cloth Hall is worth exploring beyond its façade. The guide points out details visitors often miss — architectural ornaments, curiosities about former stalls and the evolution of trade — and suggests short stops to taste local treats.
The stroll through the Market naturally leads to less obvious spots — courtyards with interesting architecture, memorial plaques and viewpoints with a panorama of Wawel. Małgorzata arranges the route so you gain memorable impressions with minimal effort.
If you want to avoid crowds and learn Kraków “from the inside,” choose an off-the-beaten-path route. Małgorzata leads walks through little-known courtyards, local neighborhoods and historic places that don’t always appear on standard maps.
Examples include quieter parts of Kazimierz, routes following local legends and stories, or excursions outside the strict city center — for example to Krzysztofory Palace (Pałac Krzysztofory) or short walks toward green squares and striking murals.
For those interested in recent history, the guide also offers sensitive, contextual routes related to World War II and the history of the Jewish community — presented respectfully and with thoughtful background.
It’s safest to book your tour in advance, especially if you plan visits to popular sites (Wawel, the Market Underground, the Cloth Hall museum) or are coming in the high season. Małgorzata assists with organization and ticket reservations and holds authorizations to guide in selected museums.
Depending on the route and duration you can choose a shorter two-hour walk or a longer 3–4 hour tour. Special packages and headset sets are available for school groups and larger parties to improve audibility.
If you have special requests — for example you want to buy a voucher as a gift, plan a corporate outing, or add thematic elements — contact in advance to arrange details. That ensures the tour matches participants’ expectations.
Prices depend on the route length and group size. As a rough guide: shorter walks (around 2 hours) sit in a lower price band, while longer tours and themed routes are priced proportionally higher. The guide also offers promotional rates for specific dates and packages for school and company groups.
If you plan to visit in popular months, ask about audio-guide availability and any promotions for particular dates. Małgorzata can recommend the option that best balances time and cost.
For families and groups with children, shorter, more dynamic routes with breaks and engaging stories are recommended — this increases participant comfort and keeps children actively involved.
Clothing and footwear: most routes are on foot over cobbled streets and uneven pavements — comfortable shoes are essential. In cooler months bring a rain layer and a warm jacket.
Meeting point: tours are usually arranged to start at a specific point on the Main Market Square or another agreed location. After booking you’ll receive details about the meeting point and time as well as any instructions for entering monuments.
Length and pace: if your time is limited, tell the guide when booking — Małgorzata will adapt the route to show the key sights. For visitors with limited mobility it’s possible to plan a more accessible itinerary.
After the walk it’s nice to stop for coffee and local flavors. Around the Market and nearby Kazimierz you’ll find classic cafés and small bistros serving traditional Polish and regional dishes. Ask your guide for trusted addresses — she often recommends local cafés and eateries that combine good quality with an authentic atmosphere.
If you want to try Kraków’s obwarzanki, pierogi or local cakes — ask Małgorzata for her favorite cafés and bistros. Popular spots in the Old Town and Kazimierz include cozy cafés, traditional milk bars and bakeries where you can taste regional specialties.
For an evening vibe, Kazimierz offers many intimate cafés and restaurants with live music, while the Market area has elegant venues for a relaxed dinner after a full day of sightseeing.
During sightseeing secure your documents and valuables — crowded places can attract pickpockets. Małgorzata keeps the group organized and reminds participants of basic safety rules, especially in busy areas.
For school trips or organized groups the guide uses simple rules for route flow and emergency procedures — this helps supervisors keep control and increases participant comfort.
If you have food allergies or special needs, inform the guide in advance — she will help plan an appropriate break and choose suitable places.
