My Kraków
A city you’ll never fully understand, but it’s a pleasure to discover
Kraków is full of surprises and untold stories. Everyone finds something here: the buzz of the streets and the nightlife, silence and places for contemplation, history and art for the curious. It’s a city of many cultures, centuries-old traditions and art.
Whether you’re looking for an active holiday or you’re curious about the royal capital of Poland, I’ll put together a tour that suits you.
I organise walking, cycling and kayaking trips in and around Kraków. Exploring and learning something new about its nooks and crannies every day is my passion and my way of life.
“I want to show you what you won’t read in guidebooks.”
All year round
On foot, by bike, by kayak, on skis
