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.
Kasia braved the cold to do the tour with us, which was much appreciated. She seems to genuinely like what she is doing, she's very approachable and with a great vibe. The tour is a great starting point to get to know the Jewish quarter of Krakow. The suggestion is to keep the story a bit shorter when it's winter cold (1.5 h would be enough), maybe by avoiding some repeated info. But the warm tea and the end was highly appreciated.
Kasia was showing mamy interesting places that are hidden and not always vistited by turists, she has contacts with managers, have good knowlage of city, I really recomended tour with her, additional plus for cup of tea and cookie for all tour visitor:)
Ha sido una experiencia excepcional, posiblemente la mejor guía de guruwalk, que hasta la fecha he conocido y llevo muchos años viajando por todo el Mundo. Kate es fantástica en todos los sentidos, trato exquisito y muy cercano, derrocha entusiasmo en su trabajo, excelente conocimiento y preparación acerca del tema , aspectos, curiosidades del tema del tour a tratar, lo vive, lo disfruta, no escatima en tiempo y rezuma todos estos aspectos a lo largo del recorrido, es un tour único, muy particular, muy rico en contenido y muy especial y diferente de los demás gracias a su interés, esfuerzo, aportando iconografía, vídeos breves explicativos que ayudan a compreder el contexto de lo que se visita, y te lleva a lugares que ella ha escogido y difícilmente podrías ir con otros tours...en definitiva ....guía excepcional y tour muy altamente recomendable.
If there is a 10, then it will be a 10. Kasia is one of a kind. She exudes professionalism and expertise in her craft. She has all the traits you could ask for a tour guide: she is very thoughtful, checking us from time to time; she has expertise in the area, having her roots in Kazimierz; she is very generous with the tips of where the beat restaurants, best to take photos, and she even gave us a chocolate as a token. Even though it is dark and cold during our tour, we managed it because of Kasia. And I think the biggest advantage here is that she is a local from Kazimierz, so we received the information from a POV of a Kazimierz descent. I hope more people get to benefit from her deep knowledge of Kazimierz.
Kasia is a fantastic guide
