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. In 2008, I moved to London, where I spent most of my time working in tourism-related fields — gastronomy, hospitality, and even a museum.
In 2018, I graduated from Middlesex University in London with a degree in International Tourism Management, and I was proud to receive the award for best performance in my year.
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 ongoing education.
Katarzyna was so nice and professional! I had a great time with her and gained lots of knowledge about Jewish history. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to know more about Jewish and Kraków.
Katarzyna is very knowledgeable about the history of the Jewish quarter and she gave a very detailed introduction of the Jewish settlement in Krakow and changes over time, from the very early beginning in the Medieval period to 20th century. She took us to the hidden gems only local people know and I really appreciate this experience.
We had a truly unique and memorable tour with Kasha. Besides of being very informative, she made it feel special by adding her own touch, even preparing a quiz at the end. Highly recommended!
Extraordinaria guía, une la experiencia de sus vivencias a sus conocimientos sobre la historia y lugares. Amena y atenta, hace que la visita sea algo inolvidable. Muchas gracias Katarzyna.
I attended a walking tour of the Kazimierz Quarter and Podgórze with Katarzyna as our guide, and it was a truly insightful experience. She shared powerful stories and deep knowledge about Jewish history in Kraków. Highly recommended!
