Krakow Guide: Seweryn

Welcome to my website! I invite you to explore the beautiful city of Krakow with me. If you found me through a Google search for a ‘Krakow guide,’ you’ve come to the right place. I’ve been a professional guide in Krakow since 2015. I hold a degree in history and journalism. I specialize in the history of Christianity and the Messianic Jewish Movement, and I’m also passionate about geopolitics.

I am a licensed guide in Krakow and an official member of the Federation of Tourist Guide Associations in Krakow. Additionally, I am licensed to guide tours at Oskar Schindler’s Factory.

I have had the privilege of guiding over three thousand people in Krakow. Each person is precious to me, and I consider it an honor to have met them during our guided tours in Krakow. II hope to have the opportunity to meet you here as well

I completed Bible school in Uppsala, Sweden, and spent several months on a Bible course in Jerusalem, Israel. Additionally, I earned my doctorate from the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow.

On a personal note, I live in Krakow with my wonderful wife, Anna.
