Hi! I'm Tomasz, a licensed local guide in Krakow since 2017 — and someone who truly believes that the best way to experience a city is through its stories.

With a Master’s degree in International Affairs and a deep passion for history, especially World War II and Polish heritage, I offer more than just dates and facts — I connect the past with the present in a way that's engaging, meaningful, and tailored to you.

I’ve guided travelers from all over the world through Krakow’s charming streets, hidden corners, and powerful historical sites. Whether it’s a deep-dive into our complex 20th-century history or a relaxed city walk full of anecdotes and fun facts, I adjust the pace, depth, and focus of every tour to your interests.

If you’re looking for a guide who’s knowledgeable, easygoing, and genuinely excited to show you Krakow through local eyes — I’d love to be your host!

I'm a licensed guide to the Schindler's Factory, one of the greatest European history museums. I drive my own comfortable Hyundai ix35 so feel free to ask me about personalized day trips in our region.

Tomasz is excellent at his job- I want to be as good at my job as Tomasz is at his! He walked us around Old Town for 3 hours and was an endless source of interesting facts and meaningful insights. We learned a lot and really felt it enriched our Krakow experience. I would highly recommend booking him if you have the chance.Fantastic Tour and Guide

We had a tour of Krakow with Tomasz on Sunday 11 May 2025. We agreed that he was probably the best city guide we have ever had and we have traveled quite extensively over the years Tomasz was charming and friendly. His knowledge was excellent and his command of English extremely good so that when he related stories to us we really benefitted from them. The tour was meant to be 3 hours which incidentally literally few by, but Tomasz hadn’t finished all that he wanted to show us so happily spent another half an hour with us in order the finish the tour We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him! Thank you very much Tomasz! Tomasz in Krakow

Tomasz met me at my hotel & drove me to my family’s hometown. This was a full day tour. He showed me the highlights & had asked for addresses or particular things I was interested in doing so he could research these ahead of our meeting. He was totally prepared. He knew where to park & took me to the properties I wanted to see & we walked through and around the village square. A huge & delicious Polish meal was eaten by us for lunch & we even shared a slice of pistachio cheesecake. He even suggested a bakery for me to visit when I got back to Krakow, in my search for my grandma’s kind of Polish cheesecake, which I did on my last day in town, & it was the best cheesecake I had.I got some Polish language & pronunciation lessons too! All in all, a very informative & good day. Thank you Tomasz. Professional & Personalable

We are a family of 4 adults and thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Tomasz. He was knowledgeable, considerate and appeared to love sharing his home city with us. We appreciated his insights into Polish but especially Kraków history. We would thoroughly recommend him and this tour as you get to walk around a lot of the significant monuments and areas of the Old Town. We love the personalised look experience!Wonderful afternoon exploring Old Town
