I am a graduate from a Pedagogic Academy of Cracow with a Master's Degree in History. The link between history and everyday life has always fascinated me. I spent four years in The United States. This is where I have mastered my command of English. Upon my return to Cracow I decided to use it in speaking to foreigners about this city's history. I have always enjoyed many different cultures, and therefore, I would like others to enjoy mine as well. For the past 20 years I have been working as a licensed, English speaking guide and tour escort. I still remember all my guests from different countries, but first of all the friendly and recognizable Rick Steves (guidebook author). I hope you will enjoy my tours! I am a licensed Krakow City Guide Nr/Card No: PM/39/01 by Marshal of Voivodeship as well as an English speaking tour leader Nr/Card No: PW/203/2000 by Marshal of Voivodeship I have a certificate for driving service.

Overview of your Krakow tour

Everybody knows Zakopane as the winter capital of Poland. If you want to know more - what the name of Zakopane means, who and why founded the city, who the first settlers were do not hesitate to ask me for a tour. I am an historian who decided to combine my hobbies and education and became a guide. I will tell you the story of the legendary brigand known as Polish and Slovac Robin Hood. If you are interested in art , I ll show the greatest examples of " Zakopane style of architecture" and introduce its creator. You will also learn about one of the most extravagant and avant-garde artist who loved Zakopane and about the doctor who discovered the curing climate of the city and established here tuberculosis spa.

Marta is so knowledgeable and friendly. She took good care of us and answered many many questions we asked throughout the day. Very grateful to spend the day with her. It is obvious she loves what she does and she takes great pride in sharing Poland with tourists.

Marta was a valuable asset in our search for family ancestors. Her knowledge of the area and contacts resulted in a productive and fun day for our family.

This was the last of our 3 full tour days with Marta and we were so sad to see her tours come to an end. Marta is Wonderful! We were in Poland for a total of 3 weeks. The last week was an organized tour group and None of the other guides came close to having the knowledge and passion of Marta. We would definitely book Marta again if we are in Krakow.

We actually changed our mind at the last minute and chose a different tour so had Marta's husband with us. Learned so much and had a wonderful day! Thank you both!

We had a fantastic experience with Marta, and can't recommend her highly enough. She is exceptionally professional and knowledgeable, and also a wonderful person who is engaging, friendly, flexible, and always thinking of ways to make the experience as memorable and personal as possible for her tourists. There is a broad offer of guides in the Krakow area, but after a great deal of research, we landed on Marta and were not disappointed. You can't go wrong with Rick Steves' personal Krakow guide!
