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

Step into a world of kings, saints, and centuries of triumph and tragedy—told with passion, drama, and timeless stories. Wawel Royal Hill is the spiritual and political heart of Poland—a place where every stone has a story. On this private tour, I’ll guide you through the Royal Cathedral, burial place of monarchs and heroes, and inside one of the castle’s historical exhibitions—far humbler than you'd expect for a royal seat. Why? The real treasures are missing… and their fate is a story I’ll share on-site. We'll pause in the quiet arcaded courtyard—a Renaissance gem, now hidden behind a cold administrative building built by the Nazis during WWII—and walk through centuries of royal drama and national identity. Depending on the season or your pace, we may descend into the Dragon’s Den, enjoy hot chocolate nearby, or rest in the royal gardens. This tour is always tailored just for you. Whether you're tracing roots or simply curious, I’ll make Wawel unforgettable. Send me a message and let’s make it yours.

Your Krakow tour itinerary

Meet at the foot of Wawel Hill (Grodzka 62) – Take in your first panoramic view of the castle rising above the city. Walk up the historic path once used by royal processions and foreign ambassadors. Guided visit to Wawel Royal Cathedral – Explore Poland’s spiritual heart, where kings were crowned and laid to rest. Inside tour of one royal exhibition – Choose between the State Apartments or Crown Treasury—each with its own hidden stories and surprising past. Descend back into the Old Town and end the tour in a street that Krakow locals believe to be the most beautiful of all Krakow's streets.
