Polish Lion Travel is based around the personality and people skills of our founder and director, Kristina Lonnquist. Kristina is very much a people person. She was born and bred in Poland and exudes the natural warmth of the Polish people. There is nothing she likes more than seeing a group of happy travellers–and satisfied customers! Kristina has a long history of organizing balls, exhibitions, concerts and dinners. Putting people together and entertaining them comes as second nature to her.
Kristina has lived in several countries, aside from her native Poland: Sweden, France, USA and England. She speaks four languages fluently: Swedish, French, Polish and English. She is very much a ‘hands-on’ organiser, scrutinising every single element of a trip so that nothing is left to chance. Kristina is also a fully accredited tour guide for Krakow, having passed the rigorous test set out by the city. Not many of the city’s tour guides will have this level of certification and accompanying badge
Stan Eales is the second-in-command at Polish Lion Travel. Stan’s background has been in the field of marketing communications. In London, he has worked for many large, blue chip companies. He now spends most of this time in Krakow. Stan is responsible for communications, bookings and planning at PLT. Stan also accompanies Kristina for large groups. This is especially the case with seniors where there needs to be two people managing the group.
With a mainstream travel companies, you will only ever get one person leading the group. Stan’s special interest area is World War Two in the Krakow region. He has considerable knowledge of the Nazi era and presents walking tours of Kazimierz, the former Jewish quarter, and of Podgórze, the site of the wartime Jewish ghetto, created by the Nazis. Stan is also a native English-speaking tour guide to Auschwitz 1 and Auschwitz-Birkenau.
