My name is Alex and I would like to invite you to Krakow, where I was born and with which my whole life is connected. For twenty years I have been working in tourism as a licensed guide and tour escort. My hobby is to read all kinds of books, but above all, those that present the history of Poland and Europe. I am really satisfied when I can present my knowledge and experience that I have gained in recent years. Poland is a country with over 1, 000 years of history and an exceptional cultural heritage. The diversity of historical places, beautiful landscapes and great Polish cuisine encourage people from all over the world to visit this country. I am glad that you have decided to visit Poland as well. I would like to show you the most beautiful places in Krakow and its surroundings. Krakow is a city with a rich history and a multicultural heritage. You will never regret the time spent visiting this city. Of course, I will be happy to accompany you as your private guide. In the vicinity of Krakow is difficult to count the number of places that are really worth a visit during a half or full day trip. Take only the Wieliczka Salt Mine or Auschwitz-Birkenau, which together with the Krakow's Old Town is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. In addition, after just 2 hours of driving you can find yourself in the Polish Tatras mountains with such a different culture and taste that characterizes Polish highlanders. There are also options for pilgrims who would like to follow the footsteps of Pope John Paul II. I invite you to visit all these places with me. We can do one trip together or combine a multi-day route tailored to your expectations. I am also open to traveling with you to other places that are not listed on my trip list. I am looking forward to receiving your message. I provide all trips with my own comfortable, air-conditioned cars (Mercedes Vito and Audi Q5). Guide license no. PM/379/2000 Tour Leader license no. PW/61/04 Driving license Transportation license Please be informed that some places have own guides ( Auschwitz-Birkenau, Salt Mine Wieliczka).

Overview of your Krakow tour

The Wieliczka Salt Mine is one of the main reasons that made me become a guide. I have traveled a lot in my life. Finally, I realized that one of the most beautiful attractions in the world is close to me and I would like to show it to other travelers. Wieliczka salt mine is one of the most popular and most frequently visited tourist attractions in Poland. It is also one of Europe's oldest industrial enterprises which have operated continuously since the 13th century! The tourist route in Salt Mine is 3. 5 kilometers long and leads through over twenty beautifully decorated chapels, charming underground lakes, and well-preserved traces of mining operations. When you decide to go to Wieliczka with me, you choose an option that is more personalized and focused on you than other tours you will find. My company is not only about picking you up from your hotel. The tour itself inside the mine, unfortunately, cannot be private. You have to join a group tour guided by a licensed person provided by Salt Mine

The tour was interesting and informative, with a side-trip tour of the village from which my great-grandparents emigrated to the USA. Alex was very informative and helpful, adding insights as well as attending to our every need. Prior to the village tour, Alex researched it and found some interesting information; it's a village almost no one would have interest in seeing were it not for ancestry! I can certainly recommend him to anyone wanting to tour the Krakow area.

We had Alex for our 2nd day tour and again, he was early and full of life and information about Poland. It was wonderful to spend time with him. The Salt Mines were so unique and we were so glad we chose to do this tour. And that we chose Alex. Toursbylocals is a wonderful concept.

This was the last of three excursions with Alex and a bittersweet moment when we had to depart. Alex's passion for Poland, Krakow and the whole Galicia region enriched our experience. We could not have chosen a better person for our short visit to the region. I highly recommend Alex if you have a desire to learn more about what where you are visiting and what you are seeing. He will make your trip more memorable just as he did mine.
