Kraków’s Main Market Square is a place you should see at least once. A walk with guide Małgorzata Kasprowicz leads through the most important spots: the Cloth Hall (Sukiennice), St. Mary’s Basilica, parts of the former Royal Route and narrow lanes full of stories and local curiosities. The route is told lightly and with humor — there are plenty of anecdotes, legends and engaging questions for both children and adults.
The Cloth Hall is the commercial heart of medieval Kraków. During the tour you’ll hear about the history of trade, the architecture and the changes that have shaped the Square over centuries. The guide explains in a friendly way what to notice inside and how to use short coffee or snack breaks during the walk.
It’s good to start the walk at the Adam Mickiewicz monument — a popular and convenient meeting point. The route can be adjusted to the group’s needs: a shorter version (about 1.5–2 hours) presenting the highlights, or a longer, more in-depth tour (3–4 hours) with breaks and optional entries to selected interiors.
Małgorzata Kasprowicz is a licensed Kraków guide since 2012. Born in Kraków, she has guided families, school groups and international tours for years. Her style combines solid knowledge with lively, engaging storytelling; many anecdotes, practical references and questions help keep children and teenagers focused.
She also holds authorizations to guide in specific museum and historic sites, so she can accompany groups when entering Wawel, the Market Underground or the Schindler Factory, assisting with ticket purchase and organization of entries. For teachers and chaperones she prepares practical organizational tips and ready scenarios that simplify running a school trip.
Her appropriate approach to different age groups, experience with large and small groups and access to equipment (headset sets) ensure the tour runs smoothly even in crowded places.
Ojców National Park is an ideal complement to a stay in Kraków — a short trip outside the city that combines nature, history and easy walking trails. Tours led by the guide include the park’s highlights: Kraków Gate, Hercules’ Club (Maczuga Herkulesa), the ruins of Ojców Castle and picturesque gorges.
A trip to Ojców National Park is great for families and school groups: trails are accessible, and the guide knows how to interest young listeners with stories about geology, legends and local wildlife. The trip can be planned as a 3–4 hour outing with short educational stops and outdoor activities for children.
The guide helps with logistical organization: travel plan, choice of rest stops and possible entries to selected attractions. If needed, she proposes alternative routes suited to the age and fitness of participants.
School trips led by Małgorzata are tailored to the curriculum and the practical needs of chaperones. The guide prepares checklists, short scripts for teachers, a map of places and ready safety procedures — a big help for educators and organizers.
Class activities can take the form of an interactive outdoor lesson: tasks, short quizzes, competitive elements and educational scenarios adapted to the group’s age. This approach keeps students active and makes them much more eager to absorb knowledge.
Attractive rates and headset sets are available for school groups, improving the comfort of listening to the guide in larger groups.
It’s best to book in advance — by phone or email. After booking, the meeting point and time are arranged as well as route details so everything is matched to the group’s expectations.
Tours are available in Polish and English. Prices depend on the duration and size of the group — options include 2-, 3- and 4-hour variants and special packages for schools and larger groups. For bigger groups it’s possible to rent headset sets (rental fee applies).
Entrance fees to museums and selected sites are not always included in the guiding price — the guide helps purchase tickets and informs about current fees. Payment is usually possible in cash after the tour or by bank transfer, depending on arrangements made at booking.
Meeting points are set individually, but a popular starting point is the Main Market Square by the Adam Mickiewicz monument — it’s easy to recognize and convenient for larger groups.
For a trip to Ojców National Park bring comfortable shoes, a hat, a bottle of water and a light snack. For school groups it’s useful to prepare a short list of items for students and a contingency plan in case of weather changes.
For walks in the historic center wear comfortable light shoes and plan breaks carefully — in summer it’s nice to arrange a short stop for ice cream or coffee in one of the atmospheric cafés on Kazimierz or near the Market.
Participants praise Małgorzata’s storytelling: lively, full of anecdotes, humorous and with practical tips. For children she prepares simple, engaging tasks, and for adults she has curiosities and stories that make the walk a pleasure.
Chaperones and teachers appreciate the thorough logistical preparation — tips about meeting points, cloakrooms, meal times and transitions between sites. This helps run the group smoothly and ensures a relaxed tour.
Thanks to the guide’s experience, even longer routes pass quickly — participants often note her light narrative and ability to keep younger listeners’ attention.

These are good spots for a short break with students or family.
