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!

We had the pleasure of taking a tour with Zuzanna P. in Kraków, covering the historic Old Town and the Divine Mercy Chapel. She was so exceptional that we immediately booked her again for the second day of our visit. Having taken many tours around the world, I can confidently say Zuzanna is among the very best. She tailored the experience to fit the needs and interests of our group, constantly checking in for feedback and offering fantastic suggestions to ensure everyone was engaged and enjoying themselves. Her deep knowledge of Kraków's history, especially regarding the Divine Mercy Chapel, was impressive. More importantly, she conveyed it in a way that made it easy for everyone to connect with and truly immerse themselves in the local culture. Zuzanna did an outstanding job from start to finish. I would strongly recommend her to anyone visiting Kraków—she’s a 10 out of 10!

Zuzanna was amazing! We saw all the sights and learned a lot about Polish history and Krakow. History can sometimes be boring. Zuzanna had very interesting stories you will remember. She has an easy going, welcoming personality. I highly recommend taking her tour!!

A top notch tour! My family of four enjoyed a 3-4 hour waking tour of Krakow with Zuzanna. I'm confident that we saw more and understood more about the history, culture and people of Krakow— thank you!

Great experience from a polished and engaging guide. We enjoyed the tour both from the commentary and information to the sights and some off the beaten track finds. Would recommend to all.
