Hi! My name is Małgorzata Kasprowicz and I have guided over 18,000 visitors around Kraków. I hold a national Kraków guide licence since 2012 and have extensive experience working with school groups, families and international guests. On this page I have gathered the most important information — what we visit, practical tips and how to contact me.
If you are planning your first-ever walk in Kraków or are returning after years and want to discover something new — you’re in the right place. My tours combine solid knowledge with humor, anecdotes and practical advice so that the visit is enjoyable for everyone (children tend to love my routes too!).
The Royal Route and Wawel — this is the most popular route: we usually start at the Main Market Square, walk past the Cloth Hall, visit St. Mary’s Basilica and head toward Wawel. I tell the history of the castle, legends and the most interesting monuments in an accessible way.
Kazimierz — a district with extraordinary history and atmosphere. I show the key places connected with Jewish life, share local stories, and suggest where to sit for a good coffee or some regional treats.
Themed routes — for example the Legends Trail (ideal for families with children), walks around Nowa Huta or combined routes with museums (Schindler’s Factory, Rynek Underground, Czartoryski Museum). Each route contains practical elements — where to buy tickets, how to avoid queues and what’s best to see at a given time.
Zakopane is about 100 km from Kraków and is a great idea for a day trip. Together we visit Krupówki, Gubałówka, Wielka Krokiew and the villas with the characteristic Zakopane-style architecture. I show cultural spots and highlander curiosities, and suggest short walks and viewpoints with the best panoramas.
In practice: a trip to Zakopane can be planned so you can fit in the Gubałówka funicular (ticket about 15–24 PLN per person), an optional trip to Wielka Krokiew (approx. 10–15 PLN per person) and a quick stroll along Krupówki. Some attractions require separate tickets; I provide details and current prices when you make a reservation.
If you want a specific mountain trail in the plan (for example Morskie Oko or Kasprowy Wierch), it’s worth discussing in advance — that changes logistics and the time needed. I’m happy to help tailor the pace and route to the group’s fitness level.
For small groups (1–35 people) typical indicative prices are: 2 hours — around 300 PLN (promotion), 3 hours — 400 PLN, 4 hours — 500 PLN. For larger groups rates are calculated per person (for example: 2 hours — approx. 12 PLN/person during a promotion).
Themed tours and special routes have separate pricing (e.g. school trips, corporate programmes). For larger bookings or ongoing cooperation I prepare favourable conditions.
Audio headset sets are also available for groups — a useful option when the city centre is crowded (cost approx. 8 PLN/person). If you want exact prices for a specific date and route, write or call — I will prepare a tailor-made offer.
The easiest way is to write an email: kontakt@zwiedzaniekrakowa.com — give the date, number of people, preferred language and an approximate duration of the tour (2, 3 or 4 hours). I reply quickly and send a suggested route and cost estimate.
The phone number shown on the site is +48 501 962... — if you prefer a phone conversation, please send a short SMS first or a message on Instagram/Facebook asking for contact, and we’ll arrange a convenient time to talk. (You will also find social media icons on the site: Instagram, Facebook, TikTok — a quick way to send a message.)
If you need an invoice, write with the company details. For schools and organised groups I prepare short organisational instructions: meeting point, evacuation points, maps and a daily plan.
Is it worth booking a guide in advance? Yes — especially in season (spring–autumn) and during long weekends. Booking ahead gives you a wider choice of times and guarantees availability.
Is a guided tour suitable for children? Absolutely — I have special routes and activities that engage the youngest (legends, mini-quizzes, field tasks).
How long does a typical route around the Market and Wawel take? Usually 2–3 hours — enough to see the main sights and hear interesting stories without rushing.
Can I request a route adapted for people with limited mobility? Yes — I choose routes and pace so everyone feels comfortable; for greater mobility limitations it’s best to provide details when booking.
Do you run tours in English? Yes — I also offer tours in English. Please indicate the preferred language when booking.
Clothes and shoes — the centre of Kraków involves a lot of walking on cobbled streets. Comfortable shoes are essential, especially if you plan a 3–4 hour tour.
Museum tickets — for some attractions (e.g. Wawel, certain exhibitions) it’s worth buying tickets online in advance. I help plan the order of visits to avoid wasting time in queues.
Weather — in spring and autumn the weather can change quickly. Bring a light raincoat or dress in layers. In summer I recommend shorter visits during the hottest hours and breaks for coffee.
Food — if you want to try local specialties, I recommend small stops: obwarzanek, zapiekanka at Plac Nowy or regional pierogi. I can suggest places to suit different budgets and tastes.
I love showing Kraków so that everyone returns home with a story, an anecdote and a place they want to visit again. If you want a route tailored to your group — write to kontakt@zwiedzaniekrakowa.com or send a short message via Instagram. I’ll be happy to help!
See you in Kraków — plan your walk thoughtfully, bring comfortable shoes and a little curiosity. Kraków has many stories waiting for you.
