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.

“Excellent Tour Guide ”
Daniel was a n excellent guide. Very informative and helpful. We had a city guide and then a second day up in the mountains which was very good. I have no hesitation in recommending Daniel. We learned much from our tours and enjoyed the days in Krakow enormously. A really good city to visit.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience! I'm truly grateful that you chose my services during your stay in Kraków. It was a pleasure guiding you both through the city and the mountains. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the tours and found them informative — and even more that you left with great memories of Kraków.

“Highly recommend!!!!”
Damian was so professional, informative and generous. It was our first time to Poland and we really wanted to make sure we made the best of it. Although the official tour must be guided by the employees, Damian picked us up and briefed us and also followed up after in our discussion and questions. We felt like he helped us through an emotional experience and gave us additional perspective. He is a great companion and the vehicle was very comfortable. He is a wealth of knowledge and experience. We used his services an additional day searching for some family history in Czestochowa and it was incredibly rewarding!!!
