This was a wonderful, thorough tour of the major sights in Krakow. It was exactly what we wanted in terms of coverage of the main attractions and in-depth history of the area. Highly recommend.

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.

I will show you the best examples of failures and successes in "the royal city". Kraków - the city which dates back to the 7th and was the official capital of Poland till the XVII century, has experienced a lot. I will show you places which experienced this history and tell you about people that have created it. I will tell you how they dealt with failures and successes. As a master of history fascinated by the link between past and today's everyday life and as a guide with over 20-year experience, I believe the time spent with me will be very special and unforgettable. I can't wait to see you and guide you here! I still remember all my guests from different countries, but first of all friendly and recognizable Rick Steves (guidebook author). I hope you will enjoy my tours!

Marta did an excellent job customizing this tour, We used her van to go to the top of the castle so we did not have to climb a pretty steep hill. we went through the castle and then did a walking tour of Old Krakow at our own pace. She is very knowledgeable and what we liked most was her ability to customize the tour to our liking.
Marta was perfect. Full of information at every turn. Recommended extra sites - to tour on our own including places to dine. Kind of the gift that keeps giving.
Marta was a fabulous guide! She was friendly and informative. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Highly recommended experience of a lifetime - Marta gives a fun and informative walking tour of the major sites, a deep yet digestible course in the city's history, and leads to points of interest for further exploration. Do this on your first day in Krakow, then spend a couple days exploring the the castles and courtyards with the provided context and history.
Marta was awesome! Educational, personable and an overall great guide. She explained everything as we went. She is very knowledgeable! This was as a fantastic tour and we felt we got the feel for Krakow and its history in just a few hours. Thank you Marta for your time and expertise 😃
Below are my suggestions for exploring in Krakow: -walking tour along the Royal Route (the biggest tourist draw in the city) -quick stop at the remnants of Cracow fortifications (the Barbican, St Florian Gate) -on the Main Market Square we will see outside the Cloth Hall, the tower of Town Hall -we will visit inside St Mary church with world famous gothic altar by Wit Stwosz) - we will pass by Collegium Maius - the oldest building of Jagiellonian University (15th century) with the outstanding inner courtyard We see only from outside -St Peter and Paul church - the first Baroque church in Cracow -St Andrew church dating back to the 11th century only -we will spend some time on Wawel Hill - the former seat of Polish rulers; the Royal Cathedral-burial and coronation place we should visit inside the Royal Castle-inner courtyard (the visit to the interior with the collection of 16th century Flemish tapestries-on special request and with earlier reservation!)
