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!

Overview of your Krakow tour

The Wieliczka Salt Mine was entered on the first-ever UNESCO Heritage List in 1978 as one of the marvels of the world. The visit to the Tourist Route in the Salt Mine includes the most amazing experience of the perfect cooperation between the Earth and humans: beautiful corridors, chambers, chapels, and sculptures carved by hands of miners in 11-million-year-old salt.

Genuine enthusiasm and a real passion for Poland - Zuzanna has it in abundance. During our time with her she looked after us in a warm, heartfelt and natural manner. We have used TBL several times and Zuzanna is not just a credit to the company but to the Polish tourist industry. She is one of those exceptional guides who has tremendous empathy for her travelling guests. A visit to Auschwitz (I believe it is an essential part of anyone seeing Krakow) can certainly be emotionally challenging. Zuzanna provided us with the necessary context prior to the visit to help us understand better what we were about to witness. And after both Auschwitz and Birkenau she allowed for decompression time in order that we may gather our thoughts. This made the visit all the more poignant. We will certainly book her for our future visits to Krakow.

Zuzanna was a wonderful tour guide. She picked us up at our hotel a few minutes early and got us to the salt mine in time even tho traffic was bad due to fog. She also called the salt mine to make sure they waited until we arrived. She also met us at the mine exit and drove us back to the hotel. Zuzanna is very personable and we enjoyed here perspectives.

We spent two wonderful days with Zuzanna in Poland. The first day we visited the hometown of Pope John Paul, II and The Divine Mercy Sanctuary where St. Faustina lived. It was a wonderful experience and Zuzanna was full of wonderful information. We enjoyed a really good meal of local cuisine and a small, quaint restaurant. Then we went on a tour of Auschwitz which was very emotional and sad. If we could give Zuzanna 6 stars, we would. She was great!

Zuzanna is a great guide. My wife and I are from the USA and wanted to see the historical sites in Krakow. Zuzanna coordinated our tours and provided great insight about the history of the places we toured. We highly recommend her.

Zuzanna is a GREAT Tour Guide. Very highly recommended! We did 3 private tours with her. Zuzanna made Poland, its people, and history come alive for us. She is very knowledgeable and experienced while still being enthusiastic. Although Zuzanna has been on the Salt Mine tour over 100 times as a translator from Polish to English, only Salt Mine employees are allowed to give the tour. Zuzanna got us to the salt mine with interesting conversation and background, and then found a fun "hole-in-the-wall" restaurant for us afterwards. Zuzanna's English is excellent (university and a year living in the states). Her van is clean with lots of windows and AC if you need it. She's a safe relaxed driver. We've done private tours in multiple countries: Zuzanna is top notch, worth every penny. This tour has ~800 steps down, but an elevator ride up and ~6000 walking steps while underground. A fun tour.
