Hi, my name is Agata. I come from Cracow. I am a musician (singer), and a 5 years ago I moved back from Boston MA (USA) where I spent the last 4, 5 years studying at the Berklee College of Music. Now I am performing mainly in Europe. I am attending the PhD program at the Jagiellonian University, where I also teach (Management sciences, Humanities). Organizing trips in Cracow and its area - this is my passion. I am very proud Cracovian and I enjoy very much hosting people from all over the world. I love to cook and eat, tell the stories and legends or just discuss the current political situation in Poland ;) I can show you Cracow: Old Town, Kazimierz, Podgorze or industrial Nowa Huta. I can also take my guests to Cracow's surroundings - Salt Mine in Wieliczka, Zakopane, Zawoja, Tarnow, Czorsztyn - just name the place, I will organize the trip with the pleasure. Basically showing around my beautiful city to foreign guests is always a great adventure for me, as well as the opportunity to meet new people. I travel very often on my own, so I know how to settle my guests in a new place. Waiting for the challenges - all customized trips are welcome! Guys! Polish folklore is captivating, the cuisine is really delicious, polish history is really interesting. I would like to show you the cultural richness of my region. Or, I can just take you for a beer/ coffee to one of the legendary pubs in Krakow and show you so called "must see". Anyhow, it's always a pleasure to meet you. - Musician (BD) - Culture studies (BD) - Culture Management sciences (MD) - Management sciences, Humanities - Tour Leader license I am not a licensed guide at the Auschwitz - Birkenau Museum.

In order to take in the grounds and exhibitions in a suitable way, visitors should set aside a minimum of about 90 minutes for the Auschwitz site and the same amount of time for Auschwitz II-Birkenau. It is essential to visit both parts of the camp, Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau, in order to acquire a proper sense of the place that has become the symbol of the Holocaust as well as Nazi crimes against Poles, Romas and other groups. The grounds and most of the buildings at the sites of the Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau sites are open to visitors. Some buildings are not accessible to visitors (including the blocks reserved for the Museum administration and its departments). Please note: This is a trip that requires your proper attire and behavior. Wieliczka Salt Mine - saline lakes, majestic timber constructions and unique statues - all sculpted in salt. Almost 3 km of corridors, 800 steps to climb of which 350 have to be descended to reach the depth of 135 meters. A memorable walking tour!
A very difficult visit was made easy by our guide Agata who went out of her way to accommodate our desires to see the salt mines and Auschwitz in one day. Our expectations were exceeded. A last minute request was met with a can do attitude. I highly recommend Agata for this or any tour in Krakow and beyond!
Agata and Thomasz you both were amazing and thanks for making the day so special. Allowing us to be us made the long day of hitting both Auschwitz and the Salt mine feel laid back and perfect. From stopping for breakfast to the special lunch we had to stopping for ice cream on our way back to the hotel it was not a packed commercial tour but like visiting cousins and them taking you out to see the sights. I really appreciate everything you both did and again thanks for making our last day in Europe so magical!
Agate did a very good job of getting us around and on time.
Great service, value for money. We were a party of 9 people and went on the Auschwitz 1 and 2 visit. Agata put together a good program; including fixing entrance tickets, an excellent guide at both sides, comfortable transport, and a snack and drinks. I can recommend it!
Our group of six men had the pleasure of touring the City of Krakow, Auchwitz, and the salt mine with Agata. . Her care to be accurate, personal and friendly was second to none. She is very knowledgeable, humorous and flexible . We spent a lot of time with her and always found her most pleasant to be around. I can recommend her unconditionally.
Agata was a super guide for us making arrangements for the day! We started with an early pick up from our hotel and off to the Salt Mines. Agata even had coffee for us while we waited to enter the mines. After a two hour tour Agata drove us over to Auschwitz and Birkenau. Her history of knowledge is amazing and answered all our questions. We shared the day and found it very educational and enjoyable in her company. Would highly recommend her should you be looking for a caring and understanding tour guide!
