Welcome to Poland and Central Europe !

My name is Christopher (Krzysztof in Polish) and I am 42 years old.

I am PhD with historical, geographical and philosophical background, and for last 18 years I have been private guide all around Krakow region, Poland and Central Europe.

I am speaker, lecturer and author of books, for example of easy-to-read joyful essays about Poland and Polishness "100 Moments Poland. A Virtual Travel Guide". I recommend you by heart to take a look at it and I will be honored.

I operate in Poland, but also as a manager and director of tours operating all from A to Z, in here and other regions across Europe, Asia, Africa and America. As Doctor of Philosophy in Tourism Sciences and Philosophy occasionally I give public speeches and lectures teaching on history, geography, guiding, and values that we meet and experience within.

I have guided and met many VIPs, politicians, diplomats, professors, Hollywood stars, CEOs of global companies, artists . . and I will be happy to meet you as well - because all of us, without exception - are VIPs, worth getting to know each other and the world, and introduce dialogue, through travel and tourism, into it. This world has always been my passion, it's history and geography, society and philosophy, with travel phenomenon in its core. Shortly speaking. :)

Welcome to city of Krakow and its unusual region with plenty of very important and interesting places situated nearby. I will show You here what is most interesting, valuable, beautiful and famous (5 sites on UNESCO Heritage List) but also less known places that are left often aside. I can be Your guide in the city of Krakow, to Auschwitz, Salt Mines, in Zakopane and Tatra Mountains, along John Paul II route including his hometown, to Czestochowa famous for its Black Madonna icon, to Ojcowski National Park with Eagles Nests and to other cities in Poland like Warsaw, Wroclaw, Lodz, Gdansk, Poznan, Torun, Zamosc, Katowice as well as to Slovakia, Hungary, Ukraine, Czech Republic or Germany and Lithuania mentioning only the most popular destinations. Culture, History, Nature, Society, Religion, Daily Life, Traditions, Activity, Relax or Family Search are only some of ascpects of tours possible with me. And of course You will choose and You can suggest whatever is needed by You from these and other aspects to have fruitful time with me as Your private guide.

As an experienced private guide and PhD I will put my engagement, knowledge, friendship and quite good intuition I guess into our time together. As well as the smile :) I know a lot of places, people and stories so let me share it with You and feel free to ask and talk what You need to. All areas to be visited may always be tailored to suit your particular interests and timeframes - I can suggest a lot of things and You will decide. Flexibility.

Krakow, Poland and Central Europe is unique part of the world and with unusual charm. Often visitors return here so I'm looking forward to hear from You as well.

my best regards and greetings
Christopher

Christopher Skutela PhD : Philosophy of Travel :)

Shanghai : With my Guests : And welcome to Poland :)

On the Way : 3 weeks : The Longest Private Tour :)

Good morning : How are You? : Welcome to Poland :)

This is one of the most memorable and important tours ever. Always so crucial and deep experience, even while having been to Auschwitz over 1000 times (personally, I had also family members who were touched by tragedy of WWII, being imprisoned in the camps). By doing this for so many years and knowing deeply the topic as well as meeting many survivors, during this visit You will hear facts, but also important stories, aspects and many reflections.

// Due to so many visitors to Auschwitz-Birkenau, I strongly recommend to book this tour at least 2 or 3 months in advance //

Additionally you will see Krakow which is world-class treasure inscribed on the very first UNESCO list. Beautiful, interesting, important.

Private Tour of Auschwitz and Krakow

This is one of the most memorable and important tours ever.
Auschwitz-Birkenau was the largest German Nazi Concentration and Death Camp in Europe where over one million people perished, so not to repeat the tragedy, we need to remember what people may do to the others. It is always experience of universal and profound reflections.

Private Tour of Auschwitz Birkenau

Krakow Historic Center is unique! You will get to know Krakow but also the "key" to Poland and Polishness during this tour. And you will feel like being in the "heart of Europe". We will talk about everything Poland in a very friendly and creative atmosphere. And we may have break for great coffee or lunch in one of 3 superb restaurants/cafes. My guests are always very happy :)

Private Tour around Old Town, Wawel Palace & Jewish Krakow shows the Most Important Sites in the former (and still the longest) capital of Poland and its cultural and spiritual center. Krakow was inscribed on the first UNESCO Heritage List among 12 most valuable sites in the world.

Artists & students, churches & palaces, restaurants & cafes, little streets & squares and the Wawel Castle over the Wisla river altogether create unforgettable atmosphere that You will experience. It will show You the best and also some hidden gems of this unique city
