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. I can be Your guide in the city of Krakow, to Auschwitz, Salt Mines, in Zakopane and Tatra Mountains, along John Paul II route including his hometown, to Czestochowa famous for its Black Madonna icon, to Ojcowski National Park with Eagles Nests and to other cities in Poland like Warsaw, Wroclaw, Lodz, Gdansk, Poznan, Torun, Zamosc, Katowice as well as to Slovakia, Hungary, Ukraine, Czech Republic or Germany and Lithuania mentioning only the most popular destinations. 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. Krakow, Poland and Central Europe is unique part of the world and with unusual charm.

I have travelled through almost 70 countries but nowhere I could see so huge and spectacular Salt Mine like this. There are a few in Europe and the world but this one is really unique. Wieliczka Salt Mine is one of the oldest in the world, situated east of Krakow. You can admire unforgettable beauty of underground chambers, corridors, lakes, sculptures, murals or chandeliers that are excavated and carved in rock-salt, e. g. the biggest underground church in the world, chapel of St. Kinga. And you will breathe air healing ailments like asthma or allergy. This Mine was inscribed on the very first UNESCO list among first 12 most significant sites of the world. My experience during last 20 years is that visitors are always amazed how such underground world may exist down there! I host you during this tour showing some special places and you will feel the importance and beauty of it as well as of the region.
