Tour guide in Krakow Magdalena N.

I grew up exploring the courtyards and side streets of Kraków, and today I share my experiences with visitors from all over the world. I'm Magda, a licensed Kraków city guide, a certified mountain guide for the Beskidy range and a licensed guide for Ojców National Park. I also hold a BA in English Philology and a diploma in Tourism and Hospitality. Kraków is a magical city, and I came to know it little by little, starting with my own backyard, until discovering it became my passion. I'd love to show you the Kraków we locals are proud of: a thousand years of European history, a vibrant culture and the remarkable people who shaped it. Beyond the classic Old Town and Wawel, I'm happy to take you off the beaten path:  to Nowa Huta, a socialist-realist "ideal city" unlike anywhere else in Europe;  through the story of Kraków during World War II;  into the city's fascinating medical history. If you'd rather see Kraków on the move, we can even explore it on a running tour. I'll also show you everyday life here: where we grab coffee, where to find the best pierogi, where we go to relax and where to shop like a local. And if you'd like to escape the city bustle, I'll take you hiking in Ojców National Park, a beautiful valley of limestone cliffs and castle ruins less than an hour from Kraków, or further afield into the Beskidy Mountains. I love being a traveller myself, and years of exploring the world and working in tourism and hospitality have taught me how to make every guest feel looked after. I can't wait to show you my Kraków!
