Exploring Krakow with a licensed guide is much more than a checklist walk through the city’s main sights. A good guide combines solid knowledge, historical context, local anecdotes and practical tips — this saves you time, helps avoid queues and shows you places “behind the scenes.”
A private tour gives flexibility: you can tailor the route and pace to the group’s interests — families with children, seniors, school groups or small groups of friends. It’s also a great option if you want to ask more questions, visit specific interiors, or simply soak up the city’s atmosphere step by step.
If you’re in Krakow for a short time — one day or a weekend — a guide will help you plan the route so you see the essentials without missing local highlights.
Małgorzata Kasprowicz is a licensed Krakow guide and a native of the city with a passion for telling its stories. Over the years she has led thousands of visitors from Poland and abroad, pairing reliable information with an engaging, friendly narration.
Her programs blend tales of Wawel and the Royal Route with legends, anecdotes and practical tips for visitors. She has experience guiding many types of groups — from school trips to VIP visits and corporate groups.
If you want a guide who can interest children, keep a comfortable pace for seniors and present complex historical topics in an engaging way — Małgorzata has the experience and techniques to make the walk enjoyable for everyone.
The most commonly booked routes include: Wawel and the Royal Route — a classic run through the main monuments; Krakow’s Kazimierz district — full of history and atmospheric spots; and themed walks, such as the Legends Trail, school programs, or tours following traces of World War II (including the Oskar Schindler’s Factory and sites of the former ghetto).
For those interested in day trips outside the city, Małgorzata also offers full-day excursions — popular options are the Wieliczka Salt Mine and Zakopane, a day in the Tatra Mountains. These trips let you combine discovering Krakow with exploring the wider Lesser Poland region.
There are also less typical proposals, like a tour of Nowa Huta or a walk to Ojcow National Park — ideal if you want contrasts or a break from the urban buzz.
Małgorzata works in Polish and also offers tours in English. Prices depend on route length, group size and the language of the tour. For small groups (1–35 people) rates are usually hourly, while larger groups are charged per person — this keeps pricing transparent and easy to adapt.
Look out for seasonal promotions or special offers — sometimes reduced rates are available for certain dates. When you book in advance you can also discuss special requests — for example, entries to particular museums, using audio-guide headset sets, or preparing an educational program for schools.
The most convenient way is to contact the guide directly — you can agree on the route details, meeting time and payment method. If you plan a specific day (especially in high season or during major events), reserve the date as early as possible.
Clients highlight Małgorzata’s energy, commitment and storytelling skills. Many visitors note her natural sense of humor, the mix of facts with anecdotes and her ability to match pace and content to the group — especially when children or older people are present.
Reviews also praise her preparation of school programs and flexibility when organizing day trips. Guests often say that time flies during a walk with her — a good sign that the stories keep listeners engaged.
If you want specific references, ask the guide for examples of reviews or links to full testimonials before booking. That helps match the guiding style to your expectations.
Wear comfortable shoes — Krakow involves a lot of walking, often on cobblestones. Weather can change quickly, so dress in layers and bring a light rain jacket.
Bring water and a small snack, especially if you plan a longer walk or a one- or two-day trip outside the city. Families with children should plan short breaks in cafés or playgrounds.
If you plan to enter museums or interiors with limited capacity, inform the guide ahead of time so tickets and reservations can be arranged before the tour. For larger groups consider using audio-guide headset sets to make listening easier.
Useful documents — if you have discounts (student or senior), bring the relevant cards. This will speed up ticket purchases during the tour.
Q: In which languages does Małgorzata guide? - A: Mostly in Polish; tours in English are also available. Before booking, check availability of the date and language by phone or message.
Q: Can I book a trip to Zakopane? - A: Yes, day trips to Zakopane are offered as an option for those who want to combine Krakow with the Tatras. Planning such a trip includes logistics and a sightseeing plan — arrange details in advance to optimize time and program.
Q: How does payment and cancellation policy work? - A: Payment terms are agreed individually; often payment after the tour is possible. If you need to cancel, contact the guide as early as possible to arrange a new date or discuss refund terms.
Q: Are tours suitable for families with children? - A: Yes — there are special themed routes designed for the youngest visitors, with anecdotes and tasks so children actively participate.
Q: Does the guide help with museum ticket purchases? - A: Yes, the guide can advise on entries and help organize reservations when needed.
For a coffee break or light lunch in the center, cafés and bistros around the Main Market Square and Kazimierz work well — consider places like Cafe Camelot, Massolit Books & Café or Charlotte for a relaxed stop.
If you want traditional pierogi and home-style flavors, try classic restaurants near the Old Town such as Pod Aniołami or Miód Malina; for something more contemporary, Kazimierz has many small, creative restaurants and cafés.
If you plan a longer excursion (for example to Zakopane), ask the guide for regional cuisine recommendations — the guide often knows good spots for a quick meal or mountain specialties.
If you want to discover Krakow without rushing, with passion and memorable stories — consider a private tour with a guide who knows the city and can bring it to life for every visitor. Małgorzata Kasprowicz combines licensed knowledge with a practical approach to tourism, offering routes for different types of guests.
The easiest way is to contact her directly to check availability, discuss the route and arrange terms. When booking for a specific day remember to confirm meeting times and any required museum entries in advance.
