Welcome to Poland and Central Europe ! My name is Christopher (Krzysztof in Polish) and I am 45 years old. I am PhD with historical, geographical and philosophical background, and for last 20 years I have been private guide all around Krakow region, Poland and Central Europe. I am speaker, lecturer and author of books, for example of easy-to-read essays about Poland and Polishness "100 Moments Poland. A Virtual Travel Guide". I recommend you by heart to take a look at it and I will be honored. You can see me also on Disney+ "The Real Rooneys" Ep 4. I am co-author, host and guide there. I operate in Poland, but also as a manager and director of tours together with my team operating all from A to Z, in here and other regions across Europe, Asia, Africa and America. As Doctor of Philosophy in Tourism Sciences and Philosophy occasionally I give public speeches and lectures teaching on history, geography, guiding, and values that we meet and experience within. I have guided and met many VIPs, politicians, diplomats, professors, Hollywood stars, CEOs of global companies, artists . . and I will be happy to meet you as well - because all of us, without exception - are VIPs, worth getting to know each other and the world, and introduce dialogue, through travel and tourism, into it. This world has always been my passion, it's history and geography, society and philosophy, with travel phenomenon in its core. Shortly speaking. :) Welcome to city of Krakow and its unusual region with plenty of very important and interesting places situated nearby.

Overview of your Krakow tour

Krakow historic center is unique in world scale. Discovering Krakow you will also get "key" to the Polish history, culture, present and more.. And you will feel like being in the "heart of Europe". We will talk about everything Poland in a very creative atmosphere. And we may have break for great coffee or lunch in one of superb restaurants/cafes where my guests are always very happy.

It will show You the best and also some hidden gems of this unique city.

A great tour. Christopher was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a great deal regarding the history and culture of Krakow. He was flexible in how we wanted to spend time on the tour. The vehicle he used to transport us was clean and very comfortable. I highly recommend Christopher as a tour guide.

Christopher Skutela is the best guide we have ever found during all our travels! He is so knowledgeable of history, politics, and religion, not only of Krakow but also of the entire region and European continent. He was easy to understand and he answered all of our questions thoroughly and patiently. We are very happy.

We had a wonderful 4-hour private walking tour with Christopher. After hearing about what we had already seen and done in Krakow, Christopher customized our tour to focus on the specific areas and places we wanted to visit (and re-visit). We learned so much, covered a lot of ground without feeling rushed, and had time for a coffee along the way. We recommend booking a tour with Christopher!
