1. How long has the business been operating and how did it start?
I have been active in tourist business for about 18 years. Before that I was a journalist, which is considered to be excellent background for guides. For some time I combined these two professional activities: journalism and guiding, at first free lance, then full time guide employed by Orbis, those days the oldest and the biggest company, widely known in Poland and abroad. Soon it appeared that I am successfull in guiding which is confirmed by many opinions of satisfied customers expressed in letters to travel agencies which recommended my services, or directly to me. It made me decide to work as a guide full time, and not to waste my ability of writing. I translate books from English into Polish (over 20 titles of novels translated by me have been already published).
2. What is your company's mission?
To show the beauty and history of my country, get clients interested in exploring Warsaw and Poland, then leave them fully satisfied, but still wanting to come back to see and experience more.
3. What does your company specialize in?
I specialize in finding family roots (for some years I did researches for international company of genealogists), also in guiding Jewish groups and individual clients, as well as catholic pilgrims wanting to get to know famous shrines and places of religious cult (in the footsteps of John Paul II, Saint Sister Faustina or St. Maximilian Kolbe).

I run one person tourist company. It means to be independent and responsible for everything. Also satisfaction of well done job can be shared only with my tourist.

The most frequent requests are to show Jewish presence in the history and what remained of it, also finding family roots, wherever they can be found. Probably because we all want to know where we are from...
