My name is Małgorzata Kasprowicz and guiding you around Krakow is not just my job — it’s a joy: sharing history, curiosities and local stories. I’m a native of Krakow; I earned my Krakow guide license in 2012 and since then I’ve led thousands of visitors. I like to combine solid facts with light anecdotes so even the youngest listeners stay engaged. I lead city routes, themed tours and programs tailored to school groups, families or companies. For me, guiding is a way to show Krakow as a living city full of history, art and little secrets worth discovering.
If you’d like a tour in Polish or in English, I can guide in both languages. I adapt routes to the group’s age, interests and pace — from a quick overview of the main sights to deep, thematic walks.
Worth knowing: I run walks along the Royal Route and Wawel, tours of Kazimierz and the “Legends Trail” ideal for families with children. I also offer educational programs for schools and proposals for companies — city team-buildings, tours with team-building elements and business-friendly routes that consider group timing and logistics. (Details on booking and availability are best arranged directly when ordering.)
-Why choose a licensed guide? - A license guarantees knowledge of the city’s history and the ability to guide in a professional and safe way. That makes the tour not only pleasant but also reliable.
-What sets my guiding apart? - A blend of facts and storytelling, attention to pacing and interaction — questions, simple tasks for children, planned breaks and photo stops.
Wawel and the Royal Route - the classic: the Castle, the Cathedral, the Main Market Square and the most important sights in a sensible order. Ideal if you want to see the "heart" of Krakow on your first visit.
Krakow’s Kazimierz - a district with a rich, multicultural history: synagogues, charming streets, cafés and cultural stories that often surprise visitors.
Legends Trail - a route created with families and children in mind: fewer dates and dry facts, more memorable stories that spark the imagination.
Themed tours - I can lead walks focused on architecture, sacred art, the everyday life of the medieval city or the history of specific places. If you have an unusual interest — ask and we’ll design the route together.
School trips - I work with schools: educational programs are interactive and adapted to age and curriculum.
For companies I prepare flexible offers: short city presentations (1–2 hours), longer team-building programs (3–4 hours) and combined routes with a coffee break or dinner at a local restaurant. I always consult corporate programs with the organizer to match the pace and meeting goals.
Prices depend on group size and route length. I usually work with small groups (up to about 30–35 people) as well as larger teams — for bigger groups I recommend sets of wireless headsets (audio-guide) that improve audibility and comfort — available for a small fee per person.
Practical note for organizers: if you plan visits to popular museums (e.g., permanent or temporary exhibitions), it’s best to book tickets in advance — this saves time and spares the group stress. I’m happy to help plan the order of visits to avoid long queues and make the most of your time.
-Business adaptation - team-building programs, themed meetings, tours with training elements (for example, the history of a place as context for company values).
-Logistics - for larger groups I help choose start/end points and advise on the best times to tour to reduce crowds and waiting times.
Duration and pace - a typical city tour lasts 2–3 hours. If you plan a longer program (4 hours or more), it’s good to schedule a break (coffee, restroom).
Weather and clothing - Krakow is a city for walking: comfortable shoes are a must, especially on the cobbles of the Old Town. In summer bring a hat and water; in winter dress warmly — wind on Wawel can feel cooler than in the narrow streets.
Tickets and entrances - entrances to attractions are usually not included in the guiding fee. Often it’s worth buying tickets online ahead of time. If you prefer, I’ll advise where to buy tickets and when to enter to avoid queues.
Accessibility - many routes can be adapted for people with limited mobility, but not all historic sites offer full access. If someone in your group has special needs, write in advance — I’ll plan a route comfortable for everyone.
Photography - most routes and public places are photographer-friendly. When visiting museum interiors, please observe any no-photography signs and avoid using flash.
Prices may vary depending on date and group size. As a guideline: for small groups (up to about 35 people) a standard 2-hour tour costs a few hundred zlotys, and longer tours increase proportionally. For larger groups (over roughly 35 people) prices are often given per person.
Promotions and exact rates can be seasonal — before booking it’s best to ask about current terms and possible discounts for schools or regular clients. For larger corporate reservations I discuss individual terms.
If you want an exact quote: tell me the planned date, number of participants, preferred language and expected tour length — I’ll prepare an offer tailored to your needs.
-Practical note - wireless headset sets (audio-guide) are available to improve audibility — the cost per piece is modest and helps make visiting comfortable for larger groups.
-Pro tip - in high season it’s safer to book several weeks in advance, especially for large groups and weekend dates.
How do I book a tour? - The quickest way is via the contact form on ZwiedzanieKrakowa.com or by email. Provide the date, number of people, language and preferred route.
Are museum fees included in the guide price? - Usually not — entrance tickets are purchased separately unless otherwise specified in the offer. I can advise where to buy tickets in advance and how to schedule visits to avoid queues.
Are the routes suitable for children? - Yes, especially the “Legends Trail” and family-friendly versions of tours. I try to make activities interactive and engaging.
What if the weather is bad? - Many parts of the tour can be adapted. In case of heavy rain or snow I suggest alternative routes or rescheduling — all to be agreed at booking.
How far in advance should I book? - For individuals and small groups a few days’ notice is usually enough, but for large groups and weekend dates I recommend booking several weeks ahead.
Arrive 5–10 minutes before the scheduled time — this gives you time to find the meeting point and briefly go over the route.
If you want a family photo with the Wawel panorama — tell me in advance and I’ll find the best spot and framing.
Tight schedule? Leave a 15–30 minute buffer between attractions — Krakow has many charming corners that easily delay plans.
If you’re traveling with children or seniors, let me know before the tour — I’ll take care of pace and rest stops.
-I believe sightseeing should be fun — if you have questions or an idea for an unusual route, write to me; I’ll be happy to help bring it to life.
