Fall in love with Krakow with a friendly, cheerful and knowledgeable tour guide! My name is Alicja and I've been guiding tourists for years. I have an official license of a guide and a tour leader granted by the local authorities. I often work with small groups of people having Polish roots so I have a huge experience in genealogy tours and genealogy research. I'm fascinated with the history of former, multicultural Galicia and its inhabitants - Christians, Jews, Lemkos and Germans. I specialise in the Jewish heritage tours - I cooperate with Galicia Jewish Museum and Taube Foundation - and wooden architecture tours. I can help you to organise your day trips to Zakopane, Wieliczka, Auschwitz etc. as well as customised tours to other places of interest. I'm a foodie too so I know the best places to eat out in the area :-) I'd love to show you around my magic city of Krakow! I have a license of a tour guide of Krakow and I'm also a museum guide in the Schindler's Factory and Underground Museum of the Main Market Square. I also took a special course in the Jewish history of the region at the Galicia Jewish Museum. I do not have a license to give tours inside of Wieliczka Salt Mine nor inside of Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum (they have their own local guides).

Overview of your Krakow tour
This is the "Highlights of Krakow tour". But never in a hurry, that's for sure! We will take a leisurely walk around the Old Town to see the most beautiful sites of Krakow's Old Town. In general the tour follows so-called Royal Route which retraces the path followed by Polish kings heading for their Residence on the Wawel Hill. It runs across the most magnificent sites of Krakow's Old Town, like the Main Market Square, St. Mary's Church, university district and the former seat of Polish kings. What my travellers enjoy most about this tour is that you can see a lot in a short time - in the Old Town all the architectural and historical highlights are within the walking distance. And they are truely beautiful!
