OFFBeat Kraków – Your Local Friend on the Road

We’re not a travel agency. We’re locals — guides, drivers, storytellers — who love this city and want you to experience it the right way.

OFFBeat Kraków was created to make traveling around Kraków simple, honest, and human.

We believe you don’t need another package. You need a local friend who helps you plan — who knows where to book tickets, what’s worth seeing, and how to avoid the tourist traps.

    Hi, I am Bartek Borówko, the founder of OFFBEAT Kraków Tours.

    Bartek Borówko

    Founder

    First of all, a traveler at heart. Traveling has shaped who I am. I’ve explored different parts of the world, and what I’ve always loved most was the chance to connect with a place beyond its tourist trails. I’ve learned that the magic of travel comes from authentic encounters, great food, inspiring art, and unforgettable conversations.

    When I returned to Kraków, my home city, I realized I wanted to share that same spirit with visitors here. Kraków is stunning, full of history and landmarks – but what makes it truly special is its local life, creativity, and hidden stories. With Offbeat Kraków Tours, my goal is to show you both sides: the beauty everyone comes to see, and the moments that make you feel like a local.

    Although I’m the face of the company, I don’t work alone. I collaborate with passionate local drivers, guides, and creative people who help me design experiences tailored to each traveler. From airport transfers to private tours, from hidden jazz bars to unforgettable day trips – every journey is built around what excites you most.

    My mission is simple: whether you’re here for a short trip or a longer adventure, I want you to leave Kraków with memories that feel personal, unique, and full of life.
