Krakow Private Tour Guide

My name is Anna Gega.  I am an experienced private guide in the beautiful city of Krakow, and have been leading walking and driving tours for eight years. I speak English and Spanish fluently, and I have a car that is comfortable for four people.  My fees are negotiable.

My City- Krakow (Cracow) was the capital of Poland from the 11th to the 16th centuries and contains numerous ancient buildings, the main attractions being situated in the city center. It has one of the largest Market Squares in Europe, a renaissance castle, and about 70 old churches. St. Mary’s Church, the gothic parish church of Krakow, has a world-famous wooden altar containing 200 sculptures carved by Veit Stoss in 1477-89, which Picasso called the eighth wonder of the world.

Krakow has a fine location in southern Poland, from which you can get to the famous Wieliczka Salt Mine, visit infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau, and drive to Zakopane in the Tatra Mountains, which has many unique wooden buildings.

About Me-  I am a licensed guide and tour leader in Poland with extensive knowledge about my country and good communication skills. My customers often return to Krakow for my help in further exploration of my country..

Special Interest Tours- I offer tours for individual travelers, organized group tours with special interests (such as Jewish Krakow and Catholic shrines, including Czestochowa), and professional meetings arranged by international enterprises. I also specialize in the research of your family roots in Poland.

My Past Guest's Comments

"We had the pleasure of spending a few days with Anna at the end of August.  Her knowledge of  Krakow and the surroundings was amazing, and she made everything completely fascinating.. She was also most pleasant to be with...a great find all in all!" Wally & Robbie Bregman, Del Mar, CA USA, August 2007

"My group used Anna Gega as our guide for a half-day tour of Krakow, Poland and was incredibly impressed with her expertise and personal nature.  It was like having an old friend living in Krakow guide you -- except Anna knows many of the interesting and hidden places that the average local person may overlook.  She is very friendly, personable, energetic, not rushed, and has a passion for her profession.  You cannot help but be engaged by her stories and anecdotes of the sites and history.  Her prices are reasonable and her English is exceptional, too.  I would not hesitate using Anna again on my next visit to beautiful Krakow and would recommend her to any visitor planning a trip there."  Peter Tadin, Austin, TX, USA July, 2006

Anna is a charming person who is very knowledgeable and was extremely helpful to me in exploring interesting places in and around Krakow. We visited various churches and museums in Krakow, made day trips to visit the splendid palace in Lancut and the castle at Ojcow.  We also enjoyed meals in a variety of excellent restaurants.  I give Anna an A+++ rating as a guide and am happy to recommend her to visitors to Krakow.  D. Higbee, Salisbury NC, USA June 2005
