Private Tour Guide in Krakow - Margaret Kasprowicz

Margaret Kasprowicz

Who is this guide for?

If you are coming to Kraków as a business guest, a VIP, or you are organizing a delegation visit and want sightseeing to be efficient, elegant and valuable — Małgorzata Kasprowicz’s offer is made for you. Ms. Małgorzata guides in English, leads private routes tailored to guests’ time and expectations, and has experience working with business groups and official delegations.

The offer works best on weekdays — during the week it is easier to avoid crowds, schedule meetings and combine sightseeing with a work program. Routes are tailor-made: from short, intense walks around the Old Town to full-day programs combined with visits to Wawel, Kazimierz or trips outside the city.

Ms. Małgorzata holds a state license as a Kraków guide (since 2012) and has many years of experience — she has guided thousands of visitors, including international groups and corporate clients. She works professionally, focuses on interaction, anecdotes and practical details that matter when hosting guests from abroad.

What sets private tours for VIPs and business guests apart?

A private guide means comfort, control over time and itinerary and the ability to personalize the route to guests’ interests. For business clients the most important aspects are punctuality, discretion, knowledge of protocol and the ability to match the pace to the day’s schedule.

In practice this means, among other things: meeting and welcoming at the hotel (or another pre-agreed spot), flexible shortening or extending of the route, help coordinating transport and recommendations for places for a business lunch or a quick coffee break. Everything is conducted in English and with attention to the cultural nuances of the guests.

Ms. Małgorzata also offers audio-guide headset sets for larger groups — an option that improves audibility during walks in crowded places and keeps the narration flowing smoothly.

Sample popular routes for business guests

Royal Route and Main Market Square (1.5–3 hours) — classic but essential. Program includes St. Mary’s Church, the Cloth Hall, the history of trade and architecture, a short stop by the Adam Mickiewicz Monument and walks through the Old Town streets. This route is perfect as a quick “first” presentation of Kraków.

Wawel and the Castle Hill (1.5–2.5 hours) — a story of royal residences, the cathedral, symbolism and legends. For VIPs it is worth planning entrance to the cathedral, a walk through the courtyards and a brief introduction to museum collections if the schedule allows.

Kazimierz — Jewish and culinary history (2–3 hours) — a route rich in stories about history, memory and contemporary culture. Ideal for guests interested in culture and gastronomy. After the walk you can be recommended a lunch in one of the local restaurants.

The Ghetto and Schindler’s Factory Museum (1.5–2.5 hours) — a reflective route, important for delegations who want to understand the contemporary significance of Kraków’s history.

Nowa Huta or Ojców National Park — proposals for more unusual programs that show the city’s contrasts or offer trips outside Kraków. These can be organized together with transport and a guide.

What does a typical meeting and tour look like?

The meeting most often takes place in the hotel reception or at an agreed meeting point. The guide arrives punctually, briefly presents the plan and expected duration and asks about preferences (pace, topics, language needs).

The program is flexible: if guests have limited time between meetings, the route will be shortened to the most important points. If there is more free time, extensions can be added: an extra viewpoint, a short entrance to a chosen museum or a break in a quality café.

For business groups common options are: - a quick 1–1.5 hour highlights walk before a meeting; - a 2–3 hour afternoon program with lunch in a recommended restaurant; - a full, all-day program with transfer.

Indicative pricing and flexibility of offers

English-language tours are available in different hourly variants. For small groups (1–35 people) typical indicative options are: 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours — prices are set depending on length and degree of personalization. For larger groups pricing can be done per person.

Exact prices and availability are best agreed in advance — especially for VIP visits, when specific hours, additional permits or special entrances are required. Ms. Małgorzata also offers vouchers and the possibility to prepare a tailor-made program on request.

For corporate groups it is possible to prepare an invoice, a framework agreement and a program compliant with the host’s protocol requirements. It is worth booking at least a few days ahead — last-minute bookings may have limited availability.

Practical tips for visitors planning a weekday visit

The best times to tour on weekdays are the morning (starting 9:00–10:00) and early afternoon (13:00–15:00) — then crowds are smaller than at weekends and sightseeing goes more smoothly.

If you plan to visit during conference season or cultural events, reserve the service further in advance. Also remember museum and church opening hours — not all sites accept visitors at every hour.

I recommend comfortable, smart shoes — routes around the Old Town run on cobblestones. For official guests it is useful to have the hotel or organiser’s business card to help coordinate transport after the tour.

Where to eat and take a break — recommendations useful for business guests

After an intensive walk many guests appreciate a well-prepared business lunch. In the Market Square and Kazimierz areas there are restaurants and cafés suitable for table conversations: for a quick elegant meeting some cafés to consider are Charlotte or Cafe Camelot; for a business lunch one can recommend restaurants serving traditional Polish cuisine with a comfortable atmosphere for conversation.

For more formal meetings consider hotel restaurants or venues with private rooms — the guide will advise on a location matched to guests’ expectations and help with reservations.

If guests prefer local flavors, places serving Polish and Jewish cuisine in Kazimierz are recommended — it’s also a great opportunity for a cultural dining experience after the walk.

How to book and what to arrange before the tour
