We spent a wonderful day with Zuzanna!! Her English is great, she is very knowledgeable, she is a pleasure to spend the day with and we (4 adults) travelled very comfortably in the van. This is a fun, multi-faceted tour with visited to a wide variety of sights. We especially loved the lunch with local Maria. She is very sweet and the food was fabulous! The painted buildings in Zalipie (both inside and out) were beautiful and we loved getting to see a group of women painting various objects for sale (and we, of course, bought some beautiful souvenirs from them). We also enjoyed the various churches (Zalipie, Tarnow and wooden church in Skrzyszow) and the other sites in Tarnow. By the end of the day, we had made a wonderful new friend. This was a great experience and I highly recommend it!

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!

Immersive Day Trip Off the Beaten Track
Overview of your Krakow tour
This a day trip for those who want to escape the crowded „top attractions in Krakow" and actually experience local life in villages and towns of our region. The sites on this trip will give us the opportunity to drive around a very picturesque area and talk about things which used to define this region: •Folk art which was very, very rich in this region, and maybe there is hope for it not to die out completely… (Check the gallery above for: Zalipie) •Great devotion of the Catholic community (Check the gallery above for: Wooden church in Skrzyszow, St. Martin's Church) •Multi-cultural communities which consisted of Christians, Jews and Roma people (Gypsies) •„Golden Age of Poland" when noble families were rich enough to establish towns (check the gallery above for pictures of Tarnow). As this is a completely private tour, we will adjust the plan to your interests and expectations.

Excellent guided trip with accommodating guide who asked questions and geared the day to my particular interests. Very knowledgeable and cheerful professional. Arranged an awesome meal with local resident in Zalipie.
Zuzanna was magnificent! I had to alter the tour time, due to scheduled COVID 19 tests, and she handled it like the pro she is. Went out of her way to show us things off the beaten path, and to find answers to specific questions. Very highly recommend this incredible guide!
