Małgorzata Kasprowicz is a licensed Krakow guide who has led thousands of guests around the city — families with children, school groups, business delegations and VIPs. She works with passion, combining solid knowledge with humor and anecdotes so that sightseeing becomes a pleasure rather than a dry history lesson.
Her offer includes classic routes (the Royal Route, Wawel, the Main Market, Kazimierz), themed tours (legends, architecture, traces of World War II), and one-day trips such as Wieliczka or Oświęcim. Małgorzata has extensive experience serving groups of different profiles and ages — she pays attention to pace, comfort and atmosphere, which is especially appreciated by business groups and VIP guests.
During tours she uses audio-guide headset sets and holds the necessary licenses to guide in key city sites (including Wawel Hill, the Market Underground, and the Schindler Factory). This ensures your visit can be complete, well-prepared and with minimal waiting at entrances.
Nowa Huta is one of the most intriguing parts of Krakow — created in the 1950s as an implementation of the socialist realism idea of an 'ideal city.' It is a place where political history intertwines with urban planning and the everyday life of residents.
On a guided walk through Nowa Huta you will see monumental squares, wide avenues, distinctive housing estates (including the Willowe and Teatralne estates), and important memorial sites: the Nowa Huta Cross, the church in Mogiła and areas connected to the Solidarity movement. The route highlights the contrasts between a city built around ideology and the reality of residents' lives.
It is also an interesting area for architecture lovers — original urban design, spatial solutions and an urban layout listed in the register of monuments make Nowa Huta unique. A tour with a local guide helps you better understand the historical and social context and hear residents’ stories that rarely make it into books.
A visit to the Auschwitz‑Birkenau Museum is an experience that requires preparation — emotionally and organizationally. A day trip from Krakow is feasible and often combined with a shorter Krakow tour. Good organization is key: tickets, guide, transport and time for reflection.
Keep a few rules in mind when planning: allow enough time for the site and exhibits (guided visits usually last 2–3 hours), buy a ticket or reserve a time in advance, and if you need transport consider hiring a car with a driver, taking a bus or the train — each option has its advantages.
On such a trip Małgorzata prepares the itinerary with respect and attention to historical context, handles logistics (meeting, transfer, pacing) and gives practical advice on dress and behavior. After returning to Krakow it’s worth scheduling a short break to rest and time to talk about the experience.
For business groups and VIP guests punctuality, discretion and flexibility are essential. The offer includes personalized routes, hotel pick-up, matching the tour pace to the group's expectations and cooperation in organizing accompanying events (for example a group dinner, a visit to a selected restaurant or short company meetings in interesting venues).
Małgorzata has experience working with delegations and institutions — she can prepare a program that blends major sights with cultural and culinary elements so a business stay is efficient and enjoyable. For VIP groups the guide takes care of a smooth visit flow, advance booking where necessary, and discreet, professional care throughout the service.
The offer also includes themed options (for example a historical, culinary or photography route) that work well as a complement to conference programs or incentive trips.
Duration and pace: typical walks last 2–4 hours, but the program is flexible and can be adapted to the group's needs — a short overview of main sights takes 1–2 hours, while a fuller walk or themed route can last a full day.
Group size and equipment: the guide leads both small and large groups; audio-guide headset sets are available to increase comfort in crowded places. If you are coming with a larger group, it’s good to inform in advance.
Tickets and reservations: for some sites (for example Wawel, the Market Underground, the Schindler Factory, the Auschwitz‑Birkenau Museum) it is more convenient to enter with pre-purchased tickets and a reserved guide. The guide will help plan ticket purchases and suggest optimal visiting times.
Clothing and essentials: wear comfortable shoes, be prepared for changeable weather, bring a water bottle and any documents for discounted entry (if applicable). For a trip to Oświęcim a sober outfit and respectful behavior are recommended.
Krakow offers a wide choice of places to relax — from traditional Polish cuisine to modern cafés. Here are some popular spots and atmospheres worth considering after a walk:
- On the Old Town: Restauracja Pod Wawelem (hearty portions, atmospheric interiors), Wierzynek (historic dining, elegant atmosphere).
- In Kazimierz: Café Camelot (cozy café ideal for a break), Mleczarnia (an atmospheric spot for evening visits), Plac Nowy (a street-food zone famous for zapiekanki).
- For those looking for local flavors and a less touristy atmosphere: try local bars and milk bars around Nowa Huta or restaurants serving regional and seasonal dishes.
If you are planning a business dinner or a VIP meeting, it’s wise to reserve a table in advance — the best restaurants often book up long before the date. The guide can advise on a venue that suits the occasion.
How do I book a tour? - It’s best to book in advance: describe the group size, preferred language, date and approximate scope of the tour. The guide will prepare a tailored offer.
Does the guide provide tickets and entry? - The guide assists with planning and can help reserve entries where visitor numbers are limited. The method of purchasing tickets can be arranged individually.
Are the routes suitable for seniors and children? - Yes. Routes can be adjusted for pace and length, with breaks and rest points. For schools and groups with children the guide prepares special, interactive versions of the stories.
Does the guide speak foreign languages? - Yes, tours are available in English and can be adapted to other languages upon request (ask when booking).
What about tipping? - Tips are not obligatory but are a welcome gesture appreciated by the guide and staff.
Leave room for spontaneity when planning your visit — sometimes the most interesting stories come off the beaten path. If your stay in Krakow is short, pick a priority route and reserve a guide who will lead you through the city efficiently.
For business groups it’s helpful to define the visit’s goal (culture, history, team-building) — this lets the guide prepare the optimal mix of attractions and breaks. For a trip to Oświęcim make sure the schedule allows time for reflection.
If you have special requirements (accessibility for guests with limited mobility, thematic interests, educational elements for young people), inform the guide in advance — she will gladly prepare a personalized program.
