I have been working as tour guide mainly with English-speaking visitors. I work with large groups about 50 people as well as small ones. I had the opportunity to run different types of groups: kids, youth, students, disabled people, families as well as business and corporate client having their conferences in Krakow. I have extensive tourism experience including guiding groups in Italy, Spain, France, Portugal and Central Europe. It allowed me to combine many stories and facts from almost whole Europe.

Hey everyone! I grew up in Kraków, and this amazing city still surprises me almost every day. So, what’s the most unique thing about it? I’d say it’s the versatility. Kraków isn’t just history, with its incredible monuments and museums. It isn’t only about culture, with its great theaters, street music, and local bands. And it’s not only about the good food (let’s be honest—it’s very, very good). It’s more than that. It’s the feeling you get when you experience all of it together. If you’re interested in discovering what Kraków is really about—I’d be happy to show you. Let’s stay in touch!

I truly love my job. I will tell you why. First of all, I believe that everything what people do, they should do for 100%. Humans have only one life to see everything and explore it. Why I do this: meeting new people, helping you to understand Poland better and my favourite one - making your life easier. How I do it: I can pick you up from anywhere, I will find open pharmacy at night if you need, or I will just show you restaurants with delicious food, places where you can dance or drink. Always with the smile on my face, because life is beautiful.

Auschwitz - Birkenau profound tour
The tour is important to me because you have opportunity to find out more about difficult polish history. I think it should be visited by everyone. The former Nazi camp is situated 76 kilometers (50 miles) from Cracow. Concentration Camp - the fortified walls, barbed wires, platforms, barracks, gallows, gas chambers and cremation stoves show the conditions in which the Nazi genocide took place in the formed concentration and extermination camp of Auschwitz- Birkenau.

“Quite a Day!”
"The work with Michael started weeks before we ever reached Poland. He had done the actual digging—archival research, maps, the hard details of my family’s past in Kielce—and remained entirely collaborative, adapting the route on the fly as our wishes shifted (and as our sudden impulses took over). The day itself was full and unhurried. We wound through villages we hadn't planned on seeing, looking at the landscape, and talking through the past, the present, and what comes next. No performance, no tourist pablum. Just a rich, necessary day for my family. How else do you begin to see the place a father left behind?"
