Guide #43202

Cześć! I'm Tomasz, a licensed local guide in Krakow since 2017 - and someone who truly believes that the best way to experience a city is through its stories. With a Master’s degree in International Affairs and a deep passion for history, especially World War II and Polish heritage, I offer more than just dates and facts - I connect the past with the present in a way that's engaging, meaningful, and tailored to you. I’ve guided travelers from all over the world through Krakow’s charming streets, hidden corners, and powerful historical sites. Whether it’s a deep-dive into our complex 20th-century history or a relaxed city walk full of anecdotes and fun facts, I adjust the pace, depth, and focus of every tour to your interests. If you’re looking for a guide who’s knowledgeable, easygoing, and genuinely excited to show you Krakow through local eyes - I’d love to be your host! My credentials: - Kraków guide license issued in 2017 - tour leader state license issued in 2013 - Schindler's Factory guide license issued in 2021 - MA degree in International Affairs - graduated in 2016

    Tomasz is organized, very knowledgeable and personable. His love of his country and of Krakow really came through. He provided such interesting details and always seemed delighted to share his in-depth knowledge. Tomasz readily answered our questions and was very gracious in doing so. He also gave us explicit directions to get back to our hotel by tram.

    Thank you so much for these kind words! It was a real pleasure showing you around Kraków and sharing some of the history and stories that make this city so special to me.

    Some tours get shelved and dusty in the memory bank, and then there was this tour with Tours by Locals/Tomasz. It's been a couple of weeks now, and I haven't spent an hour without thinking about the vast knowledge shared and the inclusive, personalized care Tomasz showed us during the Auschwitz | Birkenau tour. I'm sure most of the vetted guides are outstanding, but...

    I researched tours where we could see Auschwitz and the salt mine on the same day, and Tomasz delivered. His customized tour made for a productive day. His knowledge of the area was informative. We avoided all the ticketing lines and had it all organized by him making the day stress free. If limited on time in Krakow this is the best tour option. I also think Tomasz...

    Thomasz did a great job of selecting foods and drinks that appealed to our Amerian tastes, but still offered a chance to try multiple traditional Polish delicasies. All his selections were within short walking distance, which made it great for our 80 year old uncle to negotiate as well. His choice of desserts more than made our 8 year old happy. If you come to Krakow...
