Are you looking for a guide who will tell you about Kraków in an interesting, humorous way without drowning you in dry dates? That makes sense — touring with someone who knows the city inside out can lift your visit to another level. I hold a national guide license for Kraków since 2012, which in practice means not only knowledge but also experience leading many different kinds of groups: school groups, international visitors, corporate teams and seniors.
A guide does more than just 'tell stories' — they plan the route so the group sees the most important sights while feeling the spirit of the city. In my approach I mix facts with anecdotes, ask questions and encourage participation — that makes tours lively and memorable. So far I’ve guided thousands of people on over a thousand tours, so I know what works in practice.
If you come to Kraków on business and want to combine duties with discovering the city, a good guide is a great investment — it saves time, reduces logistical stress and leaves participants with lasting memories.
Before you choose a route, it’s worth thinking about what matters to you: a quick overview of top sights, a deep dive into a particular historical era, a food-themed walk or a program tailored to corporate team-building.
PS: I focus on my offer and what I can prepare for you.
The corporate offer is not just a walk — it’s a comprehensive approach: I propose routes matched to the meeting’s goals, coordinate coffee-break logistics and suggest places for a finish (restaurant or briefing spot), and help with arranging entry to attractions. Business clients often ask for team-building programs, themed routes (history, architecture, Jewish culture) and outings adapted to the time limits of a delegation.
For larger groups I can provide audio-guide headset sets, which increase comfort when touring crowded places. I also offer special promotional prices for small and large groups (for example hourly packages with promotional rates during selected periods).
I cooperate with institutions and organize educational programs and turnkey trips for companies and organizations — from short walks to full-day programs. If you have special needs (VIP, corporate event), I prepare a tailor-made offer.
For companies I prefer to agree the program and number of participants in advance — this allows booking entries to the most popular sites and preparing helpful materials.
Important: I have experience leading groups with different paces and profiles — from intense business routes to relaxed tours for teams that prefer less walking and more storytelling.
Wawel and the Royal Route - a must-see classic. This route lets you view the key monuments of old Kraków and understand its historical importance. On the route I tell stories about coronations, legends and how the city functioned in the Middle Ages.
Kraków’s Kazimierz - a district rich in Jewish history and full of atmospheric corners. It’s a place where you can combine stories about culture, customs and cuisine with a pleasant stroll.
The Ghetto and Schindler’s Factory - a memory route that recalls important and difficult aspects of 20th-century history. Stops and narratives are handled with sensitivity to the subject.
Themed and family routes - legends, kid-friendly stories, walks tied to specific themes (e.g., medieval crafts, city mysteries). For schools I prepare special scenarios and materials so the trip is interactive and safe.
Trips outside the city - Ojcow National Park, the Wieliczka Salt Mine and Zakopane are suggestions for a longer day. For corporate groups I can plan a full program with transport and guiding.
If you want a break from the center and to see Kraków from a different perspective, Kościuszko Mound is a great option. It offers pleasant views and a calmer space, ideal as a short getaway for groups looking for contrast to the crowded Market Square.
In my programs I often combine classic sightseeing with a short trip to the mound or other viewpoints — it works as a natural break and lets participants recharge before continuing. The mound can be woven into a route around Podgórze or treated as a separate stop, depending on time and the group’s profile.
If you like photographing city panoramas or prefer a peaceful ending to a walk, consider the mound as part of the route — especially in good weather.
Practical note: when planning an outdoor stop, have an alternative plan in case of bad weather and wear comfortable shoes, because some approaches can be less comfortable than the cobbled streets of the center.
I check access and possible disruptions before every tour and offer an alternative plan when needed.
Clients often highlight the entertaining anecdotes, practical tips and the guide’s engagement. Several reviews mention that time flies during longer walks, which reflects my tour format — a lot of content presented in an accessible way.
Teachers praise the interactive approach with younger groups, and corporate teams appreciate the pace adjustments and solid preparation. That matters to me, because every group has its own dynamics and expectations.
Clients also comment on flexibility and readiness to change the plan during the day — if we need to shorten the route or add a stop, I quickly coordinate changes so the group stays satisfied.
These positive voices are among the best recommendations and motivate me to continuously improve the program.
If you’d like, I can share more references and sample reviews on request.
For simplicity: I offer hourly packages and prices vary depending on group size and the language of the tour. There are promotional rates for specific seasonal periods and special per-person rates for very large groups.
Audio-guide headset sets are available for large groups (paid per person), which helps communication in busy places. For companies I issue invoices and can adapt the scope of service to needs (time, route, additional materials).
Key practical tips for booking: report the number of participants in advance, inform me about mobility limitations in the group, set the preferred language and any museum entries — this allows me to prepare a smooth and pleasant program.
I provide detailed current pricing and promotions during direct contact, because numbers can change depending on date and group size.
Remember: tickets to some attractions are best bought online in advance — it saves time and nerves, especially in high season.
Preparation matters: comfortable shoes, layered clothing (Kraków weather can change), a charged phone and a water bottle are basics. If you have members with limited mobility, tell me in advance — I’ll plan a route with fewer stairs and long climbs.
For school trips I suggest a simple procedure: meeting point, backup plan and dividing into small groups with supervisors. I have experience running city lessons, treasure-hunt games and short educational tasks that engage young people.
For corporate groups: schedule a short briefing and precise meeting times — it helps make the most of available time. If you want, I can prepare a short introduction before the tour, for example a note about the places we’ll visit.
A small tip: start early in the morning if you want to avoid the biggest crowds in the city center. Evening walks around the Market Square also have an unforgettable charm, especially outside peak tourist hours.
And remember — a great tour is a compromise between the plan and leaving room to discover something unexpected.
If you’re interested in a specific date and route, contact me as early as possible — especially in season and for larger groups. After your inquiry I prepare an offer with a proposed itinerary, estimated time and approximate cost. After acceptance we arrange logistics and any additional program points.
For companies I also prepare special programs — team-building, city workshops, combining sightseeing with practical activities. If you need an invoice, contract or a specific timetable, that can be included in the offer.
On the day of the tour I come prepared: with a plan, alternatives and energy to lead the group. After the walk I’m happy to stay for questions and a short wrap-up.
I look forward to your messages and will gladly prepare an offer tailored to your needs.
See you in Kraków! - Małgorzata Kasprowicz
Do I need to buy tickets in advance? - For popular attractions like Wawel Cathedral, the Royal Chambers, Wieliczka Salt Mine and Schindler’s Factory it’s recommended to buy tickets online in advance to avoid long queues.
Are there good places to eat nearby? - Yes. Traditional and well-known options include restaurants such as Pod Wawelem (hearty Polish cuisine near the castle) and Wierzynek (historic dining). For cafes try places like Café Camelot or Nowa Prowincja for a relaxed break. I can recommend spots that suit your group’s tastes and budget.
How much walking is there on a typical city tour? - It depends on the route: city-center and themed walks usually involve moderate walking on mostly even surfaces; some routes (mounds, viewpoints) include slopes or stairs. Tell me your preferences and I’ll adapt the route.
Is the city accessible for people with reduced mobility? - Many central streets are navigable, but some historic sites have steps or cobblestones. Inform me in advance about mobility needs and I’ll plan a more accessible route and point out elevator/lift options where available.
What if it rains? - I always have alternative indoor suggestions (museums, cafes, covered arcades) if the weather turns. Layered clothing and a small umbrella are good to have just in case.
Can you arrange transport outside Kraków? - Yes. I can organize day trips to places like the Wieliczka Salt Mine, Ojcow National Park and Zakopane, including coordination of transport and a full guiding program.
