A few facts about the guide

- Guide license: Ms. Małgorzata conducts tours as a licensed Krakow guide and has permission to lead groups in selected museum sites, including the Market Underground.

- Experience: she has guided thousands of tourists on various city routes, which gives confidence that she can adapt the pace and storytelling style to the group.

- Languages: she offers tours in Polish and English, so international visitors also receive a full commentary in a language they understand.

- Groups and equipment: she leads tours for small and large groups — from intimate walks to bigger outings — and uses headset systems when needed so everyone can hear the commentary even in a crowded Main Square.

These practical features matter when planning a walk through the historic center, where noise and crowds are common — good sound equipment and an experienced guide make the story easier to follow and the tour more comfortable.

What to expect on the route: the Royal Route and the Market Underground

The Royal Route is a classic path linking the city’s key points — from the Florian Gate, along Floriańska Street to the Main Market Square, and onward toward Wawel. With the guide you’ll learn both historical facts and local curiosities and legends that bring the narrative to life.

The Market Underground is a unique place — an archaeological museum located beneath the surface of the Main Market Square, presenting finds from excavations and multimedia reconstructions of medieval Krakow. A visit there provides context for what you see above ground — showing the continuity of trade and urban life from the Middle Ages to today.

During a joint visit the guide helps structure the tour — pointing out what to pay attention to, explaining archaeological discoveries and interpreting the multimedia displays so every participant understands the purpose of the underground space.

In practice the tour can combine a surface walk with a visit to the Underground — a convenient solution because you first learn the background and then see the physical traces of the past a few meters below ground.

If you wish, the guide can help with purchasing museum tickets and advise on the best time to visit to avoid queues.

What participants say — reviews in brief

People who joined tours led by Małgorzata Kasprowicz often highlight several consistent strengths: clear and engaging storytelling, many interesting facts, a good approach to children and teenagers, and the ability to hold the group’s attention.

Reviews also mention a light narrative tone and humor, which make even a longer walk feel quick. Families and teachers often note that Ms. Małgorzata can interest younger participants, and educators praise the effectiveness of her presentations during school trips.

For those who value professionalism, details about the guide’s license and experience with large groups and VIP clients are important — they increase the sense of security when organizing a trip.

If you have special preferences regarding pace, language or topics, it’s worth mentioning them in advance — the guide will adapt the route and narration to your needs.

Remember — reviews are subjective, but the repeated positive comments about storytelling style and group care give a good idea of what to expect.

Practical information and tips before the tour

- Booking and contact - Reserve your spot in advance, especially in high season; phone and e-mail contacts are available in the guide’s profile.

- Tickets to the Market Underground - Museum tickets are usually not included in the guiding fee; the guide can help buy tickets and suggest the best time to enter to avoid queues.

- Clothing and comfort - Bring comfortable shoes, since the walk around the center lasts and includes more than short stops. The Underground can be cooler and damper than the surface — it’s worth having a light layer.

- Children and schools - Routes are adjusted for school groups and families; the guide has experience working with younger listeners and can mix facts with engaging elements for kids.

- Weather and plan B - Tours usually run regardless of weather, but in very bad conditions the route can be modified to spend more time indoors and in museums.

- Group size and sound systems - For larger groups headset systems are available, improving the comfort of hearing the guide’s explanations.

What to pay attention to when planning a visit to the Market Underground

- Book tickets in advance, especially on weekends and during the summer season.

- Keep in mind that the Underground features multimedia displays and interactive stations - people with small children may want to plan a shorter round or combine the visit with a longer surface walk.

- Visitors with limited mobility should check accessibility and entry conditions for the underground museum before visiting, because the space is partially reconstructed around archaeological excavations.

- Combining surface sightseeing and the Underground in one walk gives the best historical context - first you see what’s outside, then you learn where it came from.

If you wish, the guide will prepare a plan matched to your group’s pace and indicate which parts of the route are most valuable to see based on time and participants’ interests.
