Looking for someone who will tell you about Kraków professionally, with passion and a sense of humour? A licensed guide knows not only dates and facts but also how to connect them with local stories, anecdotes and practical tips. Such a guide also has access to many museum sites and can efficiently organise entries, especially when working with a larger group.
For large tours (30–60 people) a well-prepared guide makes a huge difference: the route plan, clear communication, using audio-guide headsets and knowing how to manage the pace of the visit — all of this affects how participants remember the trip. This is particularly important on busy routes such as the Royal Route or Kazimierz.
Kazimierz is a neighbourhood with a unique history and atmosphere — once a royal town, later the centre of Jewish life in Kraków. We start the walk from the main points: Szeroka Street, the synagogues (including Remuh and Tempel), Plac Nowy and the atmospheric side streets that hide stories of everyday life from centuries past.
On the route I point out traces of the former Jewish community, sacred architecture and stories about the people who shaped the district. For large groups I use proven organisational methods: a clear plan, breaks in suitable places and the use of headset systems so everyone can hear and nobody loses the thread.
For families with children and school groups I try to combine learning with play: short anecdotes, engaging questions and simple orientation tasks that keep attention even with more participants.
If you want a break from the city noise, a trip to Ojców National Park is a great complement to your programme. The Prądnik valley offers beautiful rock formations, castle ruins, caves and peaceful paths ideal for a group walk. It's a perfect alternative for those who want to combine history with contact with nature.
In practice: a trip usually lasts half a day or a full day, depending on how many sites we want to visit. For large groups I plan the route to avoid narrow sections at peak times and divide the programme into stages with breaks for a meal or short rests. Highlights often include Pieskowa Skała castle, the famous rock known as the "Hercules' Club" (Maczuga Herkulesa) and show caves such as Łokietek Cave.
Experience shows that three things are key: logistics, communication and pace. With groups of 30–60 people I use headset sets (audio-guide systems) so each participant can hear the guide without the need to crowd into a tight circle.
I plan a clear meeting point (for example, the Main Market by the Adam Mickiewicz monument), set out the route and break times, and inform participants about toilets and nearby places to eat. If the group needs museum tickets, I assist with ordering them and we schedule entries to minimise waiting in lines.
If needed I cooperate with trip organisers and group supervisors to adjust the pace and the scope of the commentary to the ages and interests of participants.
Entrance fees to some monuments (e.g. the cathedral, certain museums) are usually paid separately — it's worth planning this before the trip, especially for larger groups. As a guide I help with buying tickets and advise on the best visiting times to avoid queues.
For the comfort of large groups I offer the use of audio-guide headsets — a simple but very effective solution when visiting crowded places. City routes I plan in blocks of 2–4 hours; trips to Ojców National Park usually take half a day or a full day depending on the programme.
If it rains — no problem. The route can be adjusted slightly, with more indoor museum stops and a quicker pace on some walking sections. I always have a plan B.
Pricing depends on the length of the tour and the group size. For larger groups I often use a per-person rate for longer routes, which makes budgeting easier for organisers. When booking we agree on the detailed programme, meeting place and start time, as well as any extra needs (e.g. headset sets).
To book a tour it's best to contact us directly via the ZwiedzanieKrakowa.com website or by phone — you can set the date, discuss the route and confirm the number of participants. Early booking is especially helpful in the high season and if you plan to visit popular museums.
Małgorzata Kasprowicz is a Kraków native and a licensed guide in Kraków since 2012. She has led thousands of visitors in varied groups — from children to seniors and guests from abroad. She has extensive experience working with school groups, companies and organised tours.
Her style combines solid knowledge, engaging stories and a dash of humour — which makes even a long walk fly by, and participants leave feeling they saw more than just the main sights. Małgorzata also holds licences for many museum sites and has experience running themed tours.
Can I book a Kazimierz route and then a trip to Ojców National Park on the same day? - Yes, but it's important to discuss logistics in advance; combining both attractions is doable if we plan time for travel and a meal break.
With 30–60 people do we need additional guides? - Thanks to headset systems one guide can comfortably lead such a group, but for special requirements (e.g. widely separated participants, medical supervision, interpretation) it's worth considering extra organisational support.
How far in advance should we book? - The earlier the better. In summer and around holidays dates fill up quickly; booking a few weeks ahead of the planned date is a sensible approach.
Wear comfortable shoes — cobbles and stone paths in Kraków and the trails in Ojców Park can be demanding.
Bring water and small snacks for longer trips outside the city — while there are cafés, it's good to be prepared.
If you're visiting with children or seniors, let me know when booking — I'll adapt the pace and route so everyone is comfortable.
If you plan to photograph museum interiors, check their rules first — photography may be restricted in some places.
If you're planning a visit to Kraków with a larger group — I invite you to get in touch. I'll gladly help design a programme tailored to your needs: whether you want more history or more stories about people and local flavours — you decide.
A tour is not only about facts; it's an experience of the city — a good story, the right pace and solid organisation can turn a simple walk into one of the trip's most enjoyable moments. See you in Kraków!
Booking contact: the ZwiedzanieKrakowa.com website or direct phone contact — reservation details are arranged individually. Thank you for your trust and I look forward to unforgettable walks through Kazimierz and trips to Ojców National Park.
