I am a Krakow local guide with a deep personal connection to the city and nearly 18 years of experience guiding visitors from around the world. When you book a tour with me, it feels less like a standard guided tour and more like discovering Krakow with a local friend- someone who was born here and genuinely loves sharing the true spirit of the city. I enjoy taking guests beyond the obvious routes, sharing lesser-known corners & local spots you would not usually discover on your own. My goal is simple: I want you to feel the city, not just see it. I guide with energy, curiosity, and professionalism. I guided alumni guests from major US Universities, VIP guests art and history enthusiasts as well as young travelers who want to witness places that focus on WWII history. My academic background is in applied linguistics, art, and Jewish studies. I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow (graphics and photography) and studied at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. This allows me to naturally combine art, architecture, history, language, and everyday life into one coherent and engaging narrative. Jewish heritage and genealogy are a particularly important part of my work. I regularly guide guests interested in Jewish Krakow, family history, and genealogical research, always with great sensitivity and respect. I assist visitors who are tracing their roots, exploring former Jewish neighborhoods and archives, and trying to place their family stories within the wider historical context of Poland and Central Europe. I continue to study Hebrew (including Ulpan programs in Haifa and Tel Aviv), which is especially helpful in archival work and in supporting guests from the Jewish diaspora. My aim is to offer experiences that are informative, warm, and genuine- leaving you with a deeper understanding of Poland, and a real sense of connection to the place and its stories.

Overview of your Krakow tour

My passion is genealogy research, I know Polish databases and may assist you with the visit to your ancestor's places. Sometimes you already have all information regarding the place where your ancestors lived and you want to visit the spot. Sometimes you want to meet with your family or friends. Maybe you look for specific building or grave. I may help you with these arrangements. I had opportunity to travel to many towns and villages where I was tracing the roots of visitors - places where I traveled are for example towns in southern Poland - Dabrowa Tarnowska (Dombrowa Tarnowska shtetl) , Staszow, Debica (Dembica), Zabno, Trzebinia - these are only few places where I took my guests. If you wish to visit little town in southern Poland and you look for somebody who can prepare the visit - this is the place to look for. I will be more than happy to assist you with planning a visit to a place where your ancestors lived.
