I am a licensed Krakow guide with advanced knowledge of history and I am offering a unique insight into the story of Krakow, old capital of Polish kings, through the prism of Polish and European history. I am a hobbyist-historian and ardent traveller and I seek to help the tourists to understand the history of Poland in a global context, at the same time keeping them entertained and well cared for.
My company Cool Dragon seeks to promote the experience of Polish history and culture with the beauty of Polish nature and land. Hence, I am also offering tailor-made tours through the most scenic routes in Poland’s most beautiful national parks and merge various kind of attractions to give people the most sensational and holistic experience of their stay in Malopolska region.
Sadly, we learned more about the guide's political opinions and world view than about Krakow. We were honestly shocked about many of the conspiratorial and antisemitic things that were said during the tour, i.e. literally portraying International jewish conspiracy and the stab-in-the-back-myth as historical facts and the reason why jews were so hated by Nazi Germany. As a history teacher, I was shocked. On every stop of the tour, hidden international agendas and conspiracy myths were used to explain historical processes, from powerful financial elites to freemasonry to jews and so on. Derogatory remarks about muslims, protestants and LGBT people seemed almost harmless in the greater picture of the tour. When challenged she was quite rude, talked over us and did not respond to the criticism at all. Disappointing, unprofessional and offensive (and we don't take offense easily)
Natalie was great! She is very knowledgable about Krakow and knew history of the town through centuries. Natalie pointed all important landmarks and significant scenery. If you get a chance take a tour with Natalie! You will not be disappointed.
Natalie conducted a wonderful tour! Her breadth of knowledge about Krakow was excellent. She was entertaining as well! She answered my questions thoroughly , as well as questions from others on the tour. I highly recommend this tour if you would like to gain a knowledgeable perspective on this beautiful city!
Great guide. She was easy to understand and provided lots of insight and information. Despite the pouring rain, she remained enthusiastic and made sure that we didn’t miss any sites.
Fantastic tour. I was enthralled by Natalie's depth of knowledge and her political science approach to the tour.
