About us

I'm Shimmy, your local connection to the Kraków most tourists never see.

After spending years in corporate software development working on innovative technologies like self-driving cars and AI-driven applications, I realised the essential factor was missing: human connection, meaning, and the feeling that what I do actually matters.

I found that meaning in helping people truly understand places — not just see Kraków, but feel its weight: the centuries of struggle, the resilience, the beauty earned through survival. History here is not a museum exhibit. It breathes.

Now I'm combining both — engineering precision with storytelling passion — to help visitors experience Kraków beyond the guidebook. Whether you want deep cultural immersion or simply reliable service with local insights, I handle every detail so you can be fully present.

Small groups. Personal pace. Real stories. That's ShimmyTours.
