Yes — especially if you want to understand the city, not only see its monuments. A private tour with Małgorzata Kasprowicz combines history, amusing anecdotes and practical tips — all delivered in an accessible, friendly way.
If this is your first time in Krakow, you have limited time, or you're traveling with family (especially children), a private guide lets you see the most important places of the Main Square and the Cloth Hall at a pace suited to your needs.
This article explains: what the route covers, the benefits of a private tour, participant feedback, and practical information to help you reserve and prepare for the walk.
The tour leader, Małgorzata Kasprowicz, is a licensed guide in Krakow (licensed since 2012) with extensive experience guiding different groups — from families with children and school trips to business groups and international visitors.
She leads tours of the Main Square, the Cloth Hall, Wawel, Kazimierz and many other places — always with humor and in a way that engages participants.
The Main Square is the heart of Krakow — during the walk you'll see, among other things, St. Mary’s Church (and hear about the trumpeter tradition), the Cloth Hall (Sukiennice) with its long history of trade and craftsmanship, the Adam Mickiewicz Monument, the Town Hall Tower and the side streets leading to nearby sights.
The Cloth Hall was once a center of international trade — today it serves as both a gallery of sculpture and applied arts and a lively meeting place. Inside you'll find souvenir stalls as well as museum spaces — the guide will tell the story of the building, how its functions changed over time and architectural curiosities.
The program often includes a short story about the Rynek Underground (the museum beneath the square), the history of the Market over the centuries and the most interesting legends and little details that bring the tour to life.
The route is adapted to the group — if you want to spend more time at a particular spot (for example inside the Cloth Hall or climbing St. Mary’s Church tower), the guide will help plan that.
Keep in mind that the guide is authorized to lead tours in many museum sites and on Wawel Hill, which makes organizing combined tours easier.
Participants often praise her easy, engaging storytelling — a wealth of curiosities and anecdotes that stick in your memory. For many the greatest value is that stories are told in an accessible, humorous way and interactively with the group.
Parents and caregivers appreciate her approach to children — the tour engages younger listeners, making the walk enjoyable for the whole family.
School groups, companies and individual tourists also highlight her professionalism, punctuality and flexibility — the route is adjusted to the age, pace and interests of participants.
Reviews frequently mention her deep factual knowledge and her ability to share it without excessive dry dates — in other words, in a way that is interesting and memorable.
These positive reports are regularly refreshed and show she can lead tours for both small and large groups while caring for participants' comfort and engagement.
