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

The former capital - Krakow is one of the most culturally important cities in Poland. People from Poland know it as the Royal City since you can find here the original buildings known as the symbols of our culture, history and religion like the Wawel Castle, the Royal Cathedral and the oldest university in this part of Europe- Jagiellonian University. A visit to Kazimierz is a must while you are in Krakow. Krakow's artsy neighborhood characterized by lovely small streets and trendy café all combined with the meaningful history of this place. As an artist - I love this place!I will share with you stories from the past and about the present events - such as wonderful Jewish Festival in Krakow. If you saw Schindler's List - this may be an interesting option for you. At the end of the visit optionally, we can drive to Oskar Schindler's Factory with extremely interesting museum presenting the history of Nazi occupation in Krakow. The museum is interactive and easy to navigate on your own.

We had a good two days with Renate culminating in a driving walking tour of the beautiful Krakow. First with her booking information and follow ups I knew we had picked a good guide. She is very thoughtful and caring and while we had to not do all of the things planned due to a foot issue of my wife, we got to see all of the main sights and hear the history of a city and country that has suffered greatly especially during WW2 and after. Pleased to see that here like other parts of the country a lot of restoration still going on. I think travel is about learning and understanding and this is a country and city where we have certainly done that

Renata is an amazing person and a terrific guide. ❤️ She is very knowledgeable and loves her city, Krakow, very much. She went out of her way to accommodate us, pointed out great restaurants, and provided suggestions on what to see in the cities we were visiting after Krakow.
