I am a graduate from a Pedagogic Academy of Cracow with a Master's Degree in History. The link between history and everyday life has always fascinated me. I spent four years in The United States. This is where I have mastered my command of English. Upon my return to Cracow I decided to use it in speaking to foreigners about this city's history. I have always enjoyed many different cultures, and therefore, I would like others to enjoy mine as well. For the past 20 years I have been working as a licensed, English speaking guide and tour escort. I still remember all my guests from different countries, but first of all the friendly and recognizable Rick Steves (guidebook author). I hope you will enjoy my tours! I am a licensed Krakow City Guide Nr/Card No: PM/39/01 by Marshal of Voivodeship as well as an English speaking tour leader Nr/Card No: PW/203/2000 by Marshal of Voivodeship I have a certificate for driving service.

The former Nazi camp is situated 76 kilometers (50 miles) from Cracow. Concentration Camp - the fortified walls, barbed wires, platforms, barracks, gallows, gas chambers and cremation ovens show the conditions within which the Nazi genocide took place in the formed concentration and extermination camp of Auschwitz- Birkenau. The largest and the most terrible in the Third Reich. According to historical investigations, at least 1. 5 million people, among them a great number of Jews, were systematically starved, tortured and murdered in this camp. The Salt Mine is located 20 kilometers (13 miles) from Krakow. Over 700 years old mine houses a permanent exhibition of salt sculptures. The tourist route leads through unique chambers decorated with salt figures. A visit to this place is also a good occasion to see underground lakes, chapels and do shopping 150 meters under the ground!

Our day tour with Marta was the highlight of our stay in Krakow. Everything that had been discussed was booked and when able we were fast tracked as suggested by Marta. Her knowledge is exemplify. It didn't matter what we asked or pointed to she knew the answer or what it was. We could not recommend her services more highly.
Marta is AMAZING! We booked Marta for 3 full days of tours from Krakow and didn't regret it. Her passion for history of all things POLAND is really what takes her to the next level of being an informative guide. She was prompt, thoughtful and fun. She treated us like family and each day she taught us more history of Poland. I would definitely book Marta again if we are in Krakow and would tell other friends or family to book her as well. Great investment for our trip!
This was a tour of Auschwitz and the Salt Mines. We had seperate guides for each site. The guide for Auschwitz was outstanding. The Salt Mine guide led a very large group, more than 20 and was difficult to hear and understand. Marta's role was to organize the tour, prepare for what we would see and to get us to and from the sites. Marta did this very well, she was knowledgable of the historic background and was most enjoyable company.
We ended up arranging transportation with Marta's husband and daughter, and wow, we were taken care of. Her daughter helped us get to the gate and found our guide through the crowds. She went above and beyond to make sure our group (consisting of elders and young children) was accommodated and it made our experience much less stressful. She even gave the museum tour guide her cell phone number, so he could call her when we finished and she and her dad could drive right up to the entrance to pick us up.
Marta helped us get the tickets to these places. She drove us there safely (she is an excellent driver), and she took us to a great place to eat lunch. Along the way she pointed out areas that were interesting and she could answer all of our questions. She is very nice and knowledgeable.
