Hi everyone! My name is Kasia — it’s so nice to meet you!
Before we begin the tour, I’d love to say a few words about myself.
I’m originally from Poland, born and raised here in Kraków. However in 2008 moved to London for some time, where I spent most of my time working in tourism-related fields — gastronomy, hospitality, and even a museum.
Later in 2018, I graduated from Middlesex University in London with a degree in International Tourism Management.
While studying, I came across the idea of free walking tours, and I absolutely loved it. Even back then, I had the dream of becoming a tour guide — my tutors and friends often said I had a natural way with people and loved sharing stories.
Still, I chose to build a career in the hotel industry first.
Tourism and connecting with travelers have always been close to my heart. That’s one of the reasons I spent so much time abroad — to learn languages, explore cultures, and meet people from all over the world. I also love to travel myself.
At one point, I lived in Spain — near Barcelona — in a town called Sant Cugat del Vallès, where I worked in the automotive industry for about seven months.
A few months ago, I moved back to Poland — and I was amazed by how much has changed and how fast the country is growing. I started reading more, exploring my surroundings, and even joined some history classes.
Kazimierz has always been a special place for me — I loved coming here for a morning coffee or popping into the Old Synagogue museum to discover more about Jewish culture and traditions.
After taking part in so many free walking tours myself — not only here in Kraków, but all around the world — I finally decided it’s time to be on the other side, as a guide.
That’s why I created this tour: “Jewish Essentials 3in1” — all about Jewish culture and the most important attractions connected to it here in Kraków.
This is a donation-based tour. Any money you decide to give will help support my education.
She is passionate about the subject, and had agreed to do the tour with just me. Need more people like her. Keep at it:)
Katarzyna was so informative and showed us all around the Jewish area despite it being so cold. It consisted of showing us the outside of Synagogues , going inside of several restaurants which she recommended and lots of history. She knows her stuff. We were the only 2 people on the walk which was good for us but it would of been better for Katarzyna if more people used her tour which is unique to her. She was so sweet, didn't rush us and kept checking if we were not too cold. Highly recommended. Thank you .
Very interesting tour, i discovered many aspects of the WW2, i’ve seen many places that were new for me, which otherwise i never knew. Thank tou very much for an amazing tour, you’re not a typical guide. You’re a friend. You’re the best guide i ever met in Guru.
Picture the worst weather posible, heavy rain and cold night... Unfortunately, people canceled Fran's, 3 of them without notice. It was only me and Fran decided to be professional and lovely and take me alone on her tour! She was great and I am very pleased with her for doing this (another person-guide would've ditched me, but she didn't). Even with the awful weather and the late hour she explained with patience and took me to all the places. At the end she gave me some sweets (that she brought for everyone) and also a CD with historic content. People! Be nice and educated, if you are not going to show up for a tour at least have the decency to cancel it!!! Don't be ungrateful with people as amazing as Fran
