“Pawel Mrozowicz was an excellent guide. He had an extensive knowledge of Krakow and the city sights, as well as the surrounding area and history. He was articulate in English and kept a walking pace to match the group. He has an art history background so he was able to discuss more of the cultural and art aspects of Krakow.”
