Kraków is a city full of history, legends and places best discovered together with someone who knows the local stories and facts — and can tell them in a way that really engages students. A private guide lets you tailor the route to the age and interests of the class, offers flexibility in meeting times and places, and allows live Q&A. That turns a walk into a real lesson in history, culture and empathy. Students remember what they see and hear because the guide connects facts with anecdotes and interactive elements.
Choosing guide Małgorzata Kasprowicz gives you the experience of a licensed guide who works with school groups, understands how to communicate with children and teenagers, and brings equipment that helps when leading larger groups.
Private supervision by a guide also improves safety and order when moving through crowded places and allows quick responses to the class’s needs — breaks, walking pace or program changes in case of bad weather.
Kazimierz is a district with a rich, centuries-long Jewish history and strong ties to the city’s culture. The school route led by the guide covers the most important sites, stories of former residents and how the neighborhood changed over time.
A typical program includes sights such as synagogues (including the Old Synagogue and the Remuh Synagogue), historic cemeteries, Plac Nowy with its legends and everyday-life stories, narrow streets full of tales about crafts and trade, and surviving fragments of older buildings that help explain life in medieval and modern Kazimierz.
The guide weaves educational elements into the narration appropriate to the class level: from simple anecdotes and puzzles for younger students to broader historical and cultural context for older classes. The walk can be enriched with themed tasks, short workshops or quizzes that involve students and help them retain information.
Primary school - younger classes: shorter walks (approx. 60–90 minutes) focused on legends, curiosities, simple field tasks and architectural observations. Lots of interaction, questions and educational games.
Primary school - older classes and middle school: 2–3 hour routes combining history, culture and elements of ethics. Opportunity to address Kraków’s multicultural past and basic information about Jewish religion and customs in an age-appropriate way.
High schools: extended routes (3–4 hours) with deeper historical contexts, discussion of 20th-century events, educational discussion and optional visits to nearby museums at the teacher’s request. Project or source-based elements can be included to prepare students for future history lessons.
Standard tour lengths are 2, 3 or 4 hours, with the possibility to adapt the program to the group’s needs. Clear school rates are available to help plan the trip budget.
Example prices (as shown on the guide’s offer): for small school groups (up to 35 people) typical rates are about 350 PLN for 2 hours, 450 PLN for 3 hours and 550 PLN for 4 hours. For larger groups pricing can be per person (from several to a few dozen PLN per person depending on route length). Audio-guide headset sets are available to improve comfort for large groups for a small additional fee per person.
Note that the guide sometimes runs seasonal promotions — for example reduced prices were offered in a promotion running from 1 October 2025 to 1 March 2026. It’s always worth confirming current rates and availability when you book.
Meeting usually takes place at an agreed point in Kazimierz or at the Main Market Square — depending on the overall trip plan. The guide arranges meeting details with teachers to avoid unnecessary transfers and to shorten time between attractions.
A good practice is to plan a short break for rest and snacks — Kazimierz has many friendly places where a class can have lunch or hot drinks. Local spots that often work well for school groups include cozy cafés and casual restaurants with simple menus; with larger groups it’s a good idea to contact the venue in advance to check availability.
When planning the route consider the weather and have a plan B — if it rains some stories can be moved indoors to nearby museums or covered spaces. The guide helps adapt the program to conditions and the group’s needs.
The guide pays attention to safety when crossing streets and in crowded places. For large groups, headset sets help keep order and allow every student to hear without crowding around the guide.
If there are students with limited mobility, please report this at booking — the route can be adapted or alternate sections suggested so everyone can participate comfortably. The guide works with teachers to solve logistical challenges and provide the best possible conditions for visiting.
Coordination with teachers is key — the guide asks for the number of students and chaperones, the group’s age, any special needs and the planned duration before the visit.
Synagogues and cemeteries — history and symbolism: visit places that allow you to tell about architecture, religious customs and the everyday life of Kazimierz’s former residents.
Plac Nowy and its surroundings — a chance to talk about trade, everyday life and changes in urban space. It’s also a great spot for a quick quiz or an observational task for students.
Places of memory and nearby museums — for older classes you can extend the program with a visit to museums documenting the history of Kraków’s Jewish community or nearby themed exhibitions. The guide will advise which options are most valuable for each group.
Kazimierz has a rich food scene, from cozy cafés to restaurants serving Jewish and international cuisine. For school groups it’s best to choose places with simple, quick menus and the option to reserve space for larger numbers.
Examples that often suit group breaks: casual cafés with snacks and sandwiches, pizzerias with large tables and restaurants offering affordable set lunches. Plac Nowy has popular street-food stalls (including zapiekanki) for a quick snack experience.
If you’d like to taste local flavors, plan a break at a venue that offers quick regional dishes. The guide can recommend specific addresses depending on dietary needs and budget.
- How long does a typical school trip in Kazimierz last? - Most often 2–3 hours. For younger pupils 60–90 minutes with more interactive elements is usually enough.
- Does the guide have experience with school groups? - Yes, the guide has years of experience working with classes and can adjust pace and presentation style to students’ ages.
- Should students be prepared before the trip? - It’s useful to briefly explain the trip’s goals and encourage questions. For older classes you can hand out short pre-trip tasks to increase engagement.
- What if it rains? - The guide has alternative program options and can move some of the narration to covered spaces or shorten the route.
The easiest way to book is via the guide’s website or by contacting Małgorzata directly. When booking, please provide: date and approximate time, number of students and chaperones, group age, any special needs and information about planned breaks or wishes to visit specific places.
We recommend booking in advance, especially during the school-trip season and on busy city dates. For larger groups it’s useful to confirm the meeting point and a backup plan in case of delays. The guide will confirm details and suggest the best daily plan.
When booking you can also ask about headset sets and promotional rates that may be available for the chosen period.
- Clothing and footwear: comfortable shoes and layered clothing — weather in Kraków can change during the day.
- Basic first-aid kit and a contact number for the group leader — it’s always good to have a copy of the participant list on hand.
- Meals and drinks: plan a break at a venue that accepts groups or bring snacks for quick replenishment.
- Punctuality: allow extra time to reach the meeting point, especially when traveling by public transport or coach.
