Guiding since 2024

I am a hobbyist historian and licensed Kraków guide offering a unique insight into the story of Kraków, old capital of Polish kings, through the prism of Polish and European history. Having lived in London for many years, I seek to help the tourists to understand the history of Kraków and Poland in a global context. For the comfort of the participants I use audio tour guide system - a portable, wireless communication setup comprising a transmitter with a microphone for a guide and receivers with headphones for participants. This arrangement enables participants to hear every word clearly without the need to strain or crowd closely together creating a more relaxed and enjoyable experience throughout the tour.
