I use my expertise and experince to design all the tours to be real "tours by a local". Every single one of them is slightly different from the standard offer of tours in Krakow. I will be thrilled to show you the "must-sees", recommend the "must-dos", and take you off the beaten track to mingle with the locals in Krakow and its surroundings. Please, take a look at the itineraries that I offer here for you, and if there is anything that you would like to change or add to them, just message me with a request for a customized tour. Then anything can be done! I am also happy to take you to towns and villages which are not listed here. I will be looking forward to your message. If you would like to get to know me a little better, here is a bit of background information: I was born in 1989, just two months after the first democratic election in Poland. My attitude towards my country was shaped by my family: the grandparents, all of whom still had the trauma and vivid memories of World War II, and my parents, who spent their 20s watching the long-awaited fall of communism. This background is the reason for my fascination with the 20th century history. It makes me extremely proud that after 30 years of struggle to "catch up with the West" Poland is gaining so much recognition from world travelers and I feel privileged to get to share with you the amazing history and culture of my country! For my education, I chose two faculties: Tourism and English Language & Culture. Now, after 11 years of working as a city guide and tour leader, I believe this was a perfect combination which helped me provide first-class service to my guests. My energy, sunny disposition, and fascination with Krakow are contagious and will make your visit here worthwhile never mind the weather or time of day!

Overview of your Krakow tour

The Sanctuary of Divine Mercy is at the top of every Catholic traveler’s list—but what if I told you that Saint Faustina and a young Karol Wojtyła, the future Pope John Paul II, once lived just minutes apart… at the very same time? On this intimate, private tour, I’ll take you inside the very convent where Faustina prayed, wrote her diary, and ultimately passed away. Then, we’ll step into the soaring, modern Basilica—designed for the thousands of pilgrims who now visit this holy place in the 21st century. As we explore its bold, contemporary architecture, I’ll show you the stunning layers of meaning hidden in every detail. But we won’t stop there. We’ll cross a peaceful park to reach the striking Basilica of Saint John Paul II—a spiritual masterpiece built in honor of a man who shaped the 20th century. And within its walls lies what I dare to call the most important relic of Saint John Paul II in the world. Ready to experience Krakow’s holiest ground? Let’s book your visit.
