Welcome to Poland and Central Europe ! My name is Christopher (Krzysztof in Polish) and I am 42 years old. I am PhD with historical, geographical and philosophical background, and for last 18 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 joyful 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. I operate in Poland, but also as a manager and director of tours 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. I will show You here what is most interesting, valuable, beautiful and famous (5 sites on UNESCO Heritage List) but also less known places that are left often aside.

Culture, History, Nature, Society, Religion, Daily Life, Traditions, Activity, Relax or Family Search are only some of ascpects of tours possible with me. And of course You will choose and You can suggest whatever is needed by You from these and other aspects to have fruitful time with me as Your private guide. As an experienced private guide and PhD I will put my engagement, knowledge, friendship and quite good intuition I guess into our time together. As well as the smile :) I know a lot of places, people and stories so let me share it with You and feel free to ask and talk what You need to. All areas to be visited may always be tailored to suit your particular interests and timeframes - I can suggest a lot of things and You will decide. Flexibility.

Overview of your Krakow tour

This is one of the most memorable and important tours ever letting you to reflect and experience deeply not only the history of WW2 and Holocaust but over all human condition. Even while having been to Auschwitz 1000 times (I had family members who were imprisoned in the camps), and doing this for so many years, meeting survivors, families, governments, celebrities, .. it is always universal and profound experience. During Auschwitz-Birkenau tour there is always possibility to spend time on talking the aspects you are most interested in as well as to keep silence whenever needed. Auschwitz-Birkenau was the largest German Nazi Concentration and Death Camp in Europe where over one million people perished, so not to repeat the tragedy, we need to remember what people may do to the others. Due to so many visitors to Auschwitz-Birkenau, I strongly recommend to book this tour the best 2 or 3 months in advance.

Christopher was not able to join us, but his substitute was very pleasant and provided useful information. We appreciated the private guide instead of the herd viewing we saw so much of.

Cristopher was an outstanding guide. So knowledgeable, fun, engaging. We spent 2 days with him and he not only safely brought us from A to B and back again, he shared his love for Poland, its culture and rich history. He made reservations for us at some wonderful restaurants and gave suggestions for other places in Krakow to take in. You are never quite sure what kind of guide you will get but I can assure you Cristopher was the best. Book every tour you can with him.
