Sightseeing with a guide is more than a dry list of dates and names — it’s a story that connects history, curiosities and local context. With a guide you can see the most important places in less time, hear anecdotes you won’t find in guidebooks, and ask questions tailored to your interests. This is especially valuable if it’s your first visit, if you’re traveling with children or seniors, or if you’re organising a school or corporate trip.
A guide also helps you avoid common tourist traps: she will suggest the best times to visit, recommend where to eat traditional and tasty food, and advise which places fit your group’s pace. For many visitors, the personal contact with the guide becomes the most memorable part of the stay.
Tours led by Małgorzata Kasprowicz are particularly recommended for those who enjoy stories with humour, lively anecdotes and an interactive approach — her style blends solid knowledge with a warm, engaging narration and friendly attention to the group.
Małgorzata Kasprowicz is a licensed Krakow guide who has been leading visitors along the city’s most important routes for years. She is from Krakow and combines local historical knowledge with energy and humour, so her stories engage both adults and children.
She holds permits to guide on Wawel Hill and licences for selected museums, and has experience running themed routes — from the Royal Route to Kazimierz, Nowa Huta, tours focused on Jewish history, as well as school and corporate trips. She often uses radio headsets, which makes it easier for larger groups to hear in crowded places and improves comfort during the narration. Clients frequently praise her ability to tell stories with humour, the wealth of curiosities she shares, and her personalised approach to each group.
On the site zwiedzaniekrakowa.com you can find example routes, information about the guide and reviews from people who have already toured with her — this helps you choose the route that best matches your expectations.
Royal Route and Wawel - the classic route to see Krakow’s top landmarks: the Main Market Square, Cloth Hall, St. Mary’s Basilica and Wawel Hill. It’s an ideal choice for a first introduction to the city.
Krakow’s Kazimierz - a walk through the former Jewish quarter with stories about the culture, synagogues and the district’s contemporary life. This route is often combined with culinary stories and tales about local customs.
Legends trail and family route - special programmes tailored to children and families, full of curiosities, riddles and engaging stories that keep the youngest listeners interested.
The Ghetto and Schindler’s Factory - a historical route that brings closer the tragic fates of the Jewish community during World War II. This tour is led with sensitivity and care.
Nowa Huta and contrast routes - historical and urban tours showing a different face of Krakow, with PRL history and socialist-realist architecture.
Trips outside the city - Ojcow National Park, Zakopane and Wieliczka are examples of one-day excursions that can be organised with the guide. Each route can be adjusted to the group’s needs and pace.
A visit to the Wieliczka Salt Mine is one of the region’s most recognizable attractions. Touring with a guide lets you learn about the history of salt mining, discover the salt chambers, the Chapel of Saint Kinga, salt sculptures and the old mining techniques.
Practical tips before entering the mine: - Temperature underground is constant at about 10–12°C - bring a light jacket or sweater. - Wear comfortable shoes — parts of the route include stairs and uneven surfaces. - If you travel with small children or people with limited mobility, mention this when booking — the guide will help choose a route suitable for the group.
Wieliczka offers different routes: tourist, mining and family programmes. Touring with a guide makes it easier to navigate the extensive underground complex and provides historical context and stories you wouldn’t get on a self-guided visit. During the high season it’s wise to book in advance.
Reviews often highlight recurring qualities that tourists appreciate: - an engaging storytelling style full of anecdotes and curiosities, - the ability to capture children’s attention and keep different age groups interested, - a light, entertaining narration combined with reliable knowledge, - flexibility in adjusting pace and content to the group’s needs.
