Kraków is a city alive with history, legends and everyday stories of its residents. A guide is not only a source of dates and facts about monuments — above all, a guide is someone who can tell the city’s story so that you remember it for a long time. Małgorzata Kasprowicz leads tours with passion, humor and plenty of little curiosities, which makes sightseeing light, engaging and enjoyable for both adults and children.
If you want to understand the context of places like Wawel, Kazimierz, Podgórze or Nowa Huta, and hear stories you won’t find in every guidebook, a walk with a licensed guide is an excellent choice. An experienced guide also helps you save time — in a short period she will show the most important sites and point out local spots worth returning to on your own later.
Małgorzata holds a state licence as a Kraków city guide (licensed since 2012), has led hundreds of tours for many different groups and has experience with children, school groups, individual tourists and VIP guests. Her approach blends solid knowledge, anecdotes and attention to group comfort.
On ZwiedzanieKrakowa.com you’ll find route suggestions tailored to different needs — from the classic Royal Route through Wawel and the Market Square, to thematic walks in Kazimierz, legend routes, or day trips outside the city such as Zakopane or Ojcow National Park. Choosing one of these routes gives you a personalized tour adapted to your pace and interests.
Małgorzata was born in Kraków and has been guiding in the city for many years. She has held a state licence since 2012 and has broad experience working with very different groups — from school classes to foreign delegations. Over the years she has shown Kraków to thousands of visitors, leading well over a thousand separate tours. Her presence on social media helps travelers planning a visit find her and learn about available routes.
She is a guide who combines deep knowledge with an accessible narrative style — using anecdotes, interactive elements and questions to keep listeners engaged. Access to audio-headset systems makes touring comfortable for larger groups or during busy tourist months. If you want someone to show you Kraków “from the inside”, explain local customs and share a few funny stories, Małgorzata is an excellent choice.
Małgorzata also leads full-day trips outside Kraków, including to Zakopane — a good option if you want to see the Tatra Mountains in a short time without worrying about transport and planning the route. Details of offers and indicative prices are available on the website.

Royal Route and Wawel - a classic for first-time visitors. This route covers the Old Town’s most important monuments, explains Kraków’s royal connections and highlights the most valuable spots on Wawel Hill. With a guide you get historical context and anecdotes that bring these places to life.
Kazimierz - a district with a unique atmosphere, full of synagogues, atmospheric streets and great spots for coffee or lunch. A guided walk explains the history of the Jewish community, shows the key places of worship and points out where to find the best photo spots. For local eats and atmosphere consider places around Plac Nowy and popular cafés and restaurants in the area.
Nowa Huta - for those interested in 20th-century history and urban planning. This area is full of contrasts and stories about building a new life in socialist times. A guide helps you read the architecture and understand the social context.
The Ghetto and Oskar Schindler’s Factory - a route heavy with memory and emotion. The guide will show sites connected to everyday life before and during the war and tell the stories of the Jewish population. This is an important route for anyone who wants to better understand local and global history.
Zakopane - a one-day trip outside Kraków. It’s a chance to experience the Tatras without organizing transport and logistics yourself. Routes are adapted to the group’s abilities and the season — in winter bring warm clothing and appropriate footwear; in summer wear comfortable shoes and sun protection.
