If you are planning to tour Kraków with a guide and want someone who is licensed, experienced and has a sense of humor — here’s a short introduction. I hold a state license as a Kraków guide since 2012 and since then I have led several thousand visitors (over 18,000 people).
My tours combine reliable information, local curiosities and anecdotes presented in an accessible way — so both children and adults leave satisfied. I lead tours in Polish and English, and for larger groups I use wireless headset sets so no one misses the stories.
On a daily basis I offer classic routes (Wawel and the Royal Route), thematic tours (for example Kazimierz — the former Jewish quarter), as well as museum visits (including the Czartoryski Museum) and trips outside the city (Ojców National Park). All routes can be adjusted to the age and interests of the group.
On ZwiedzanieKrakowa.com you will find route details, approximate prices and sample programs — but if you want a personalized itinerary, it’s best to contact me directly so we can arrange the details.
The tone of my tours is friendly and engaging — I try to tell stories with passion, ask questions, point out the tasty bits of history and… leave room for laughter.
The offer includes, among others: Wawel and the Royal Route (the classic “must see”), Kraków’s Kazimierz (the old Jewish district), thematic routes for families and schools, museum visits (e.g. the Czartoryski Museum) and tours showing Kraków’s modern side such as Nowa Huta.
Each route can vary in length — from short 1–2 hour walks to full, multi-hour programs combined with entry to monuments. Entrance tickets to museums and sacred sites are usually not included in the guide fee, but the guide will help with ticket purchase and plan the visit taking reservations into account.
For schools and organized groups I prepare educational programs adapted to the age and requirements of initiatives like the local "Wyjście z klasą" program and other educational activities.
If you want a specialized tour (for example Jewish history in Kazimierz, the ghetto and Oskar Schindler’s Factory), the route will be planned to convey the historical and cultural context with respect and accuracy.
It is also possible to combine routes: for example a short walk around Kazimierz combined with a visit to the Czartoryski Museum or a tour of Wawel.
A licensed guide guarantees that the person leading the tour has completed appropriate training and is authorized to guide at historical sites (including entry to some museum areas and the Wawel Hill complex).
A licensed guide also knows rules of movement and safety during tours, can adjust pace and content to the group and has practical experience — this matters for large groups, children or older visitors.
Thanks to experience, a guide saves you time: you see the most important places without long waits and hear stories that help you understand the city’s context. It’s a very different experience from wandering with a paper guidebook or app.
When planning visits inside buildings the guide will check current entry rules, capacity limits and any required reservations.
If you care about quality and a comfortable visit — it’s worth choosing a licensed, experienced guide.
On ZwiedzanieKrakowa.com you can find current prices and promotions. In the autumn–winter season (promotion valid from October 1, 2025 to March 1, 2026) reduced rates apply for small and large groups in both Polish and English versions.
For small groups (1–35 people) example promotional prices are: 2 hours — 300 PLN, 3 hours — 400 PLN, 4 hours — 500 PLN. For large groups (36 and over) prices are also calculated per person. English-language tours are priced slightly higher.
It’s best to book via the form on the website or by contacting me directly (phone and email are listed on the site). After booking we discuss route details, meeting place and time, and any group needs.
Remember that entrance tickets (to museums, cathedrals, etc.) are usually paid separately and should be included in the trip budget. For larger groups (for example over 30 people) I recommend using headset sets — they improve audibility and comfort. The fee for an audio-guide set is a symbolic amount per person.
If you have special requirements (group with limited mobility, simultaneous translation, corporate program), mention them when booking so everything can be arranged in time.
Where do we meet at the start of the tour? Most often at the Main Market Square (usually by the Adam Mickiewicz monument) or another prearranged meeting point — it depends on the chosen route. The exact meeting place is set after booking.
Are entrance tickets included? Usually not — tickets to museums and monuments are extra. The guide can help buy tickets online or on site, and for larger groups can organize reservations.
What about the weather? Tours take place regardless of weather. In very bad conditions the route may be modified to spend more time indoors. It’s always good to bring comfortable shoes, a rain jacket and a bottle of water.
Is the route suitable for children? Yes — I run tours adapted to families and school classes. Programs for children are interactive and include curiosities and tasks that keep their attention.
Does the guide speak English? Yes — English versions of tours are available. If you need another language, ask about availability when booking.
How far in advance should I book? The earlier the better — especially in season (spring–autumn) and for specific time slots or entries to popular museums. For school groups or large groups it’s safest to book several weeks in advance.
Kazimierz is one of Kraków’s most atmospheric and historically rich districts. For a 2–3 hour walk I suggest a route that combines memorial places, synagogues and the everyday life of the district: Plac Wolnica, the main synagogues, the old Jewish cemetery and the charming streets with cafés and galleries.
During the walk I talk about the history of Kraków’s Jewish community, the district’s transformations and contemporary culture — including the Jewish Culture Festival, which for years has brought music and life to Kazimierz’s streets.
Kazimierz is also a great place for food stops — I recommend trying local flavors at one of the neighborhood cafés after the walk. If you want to visit specific synagogues or museums, we’ll include that when booking.
A Kazimierz walk can be combined with a short visit to Wawel or a stop at the Czartoryski Museum to create a richer, multi-hour program.
All Kazimierz routes are led with respect for the subject — history and memory require stories told with sensitivity and care.
Guests often highlight the lightness of the narration, the many anecdotes and the ability to engage different age groups — from students to seniors. Reviews mention knowledge, humor and adjusting the tour’s pace to the participants.
Families appreciate the child-friendly approach, teachers praise engaging formats, and corporate groups note professionalism and organizational flexibility. Such comments help me continuously improve programs and match expectations.
If you want to check detailed references — the website features dozens of participant reviews and examples of completed programs.
Customer reviews are a great way to get a sense of how your tour might look — but the most important thing is to set expectations and the route in advance.
Many groups return and recommend the tours to friends — that is the best recommendation for me.
Dress comfortably — Kraków involves a lot of walking on cobbled streets and stairs. Good, comfortable shoes are essential.
Check the weather forecast and come prepared: an umbrella or a lightweight jacket on cooler days. In summer bring a hat and water.
If you plan visits inside (cathedral, museums), have a payment card or cash ready for tickets. For large groups it’s helpful if the organizer prepares a participant list and informs the guide of any mobility limitations.
Allow time for rest and coffee — touring is more enjoyable when you’re not rushed. After the walk I’m happy to recommend places for lunch or dessert depending on the route.
If you travel with children or older people, mention it when booking — I’ll prepare a route with comfortable stops.
The easiest way to book a tour is through ZwiedzanieKrakowa.com or by contacting me directly — by phone or email. After booking we set the exact meeting place and time, the route and group preferences.
When booking school groups, corporate events or VIP visits, it’s helpful to include a few details: date, number of people, expected duration and whether visits to specific sites are needed.
I’m happy to show you Kraków from a local perspective — let’s plan the tour together and I promise to do my best to make your time in the city interesting and stress-free.
See you in Kraków! (Booking details and contact information are available on ZwiedzanieKrakowa.com.)
