Makabres Kraków: Ein Rundgang zu dunklen Legenden und Verbrechen

Nocturne

The Macabre Krakow tour took place at the end of one of the hottest July days in 2025. There were only two of us who showed up, but the guide didn’t cancel and still ran the tour — we really appreciated that! Even though the topic was dark, the tour itself felt surprisingly light and even had humorous moments. We heard stories about medieval executions, life of an executioner, torture practices, and different types of punishments, the cult of death, vampires, the horrors of World War II, Karol Kot and Wladyslaw Mazurkiewicz. Not the most cheerful parts of Krakow’s past — but definitely the ones worth knowing. Huge thanks to our guide for creating such a thoughtful and engaging atmosphere, and for turning a scorching summer evening into a breath of fresh air!

Google when capital punishment was banned in your country first

If you're lucky enough to get big tom as your guide you will have the time of your life. It felt less like a tour and more like going on a stroll with a group of friends who happened to be talking about serial killers. It was awesome. He also stayed behind so we could ask a million questions at the end. 1000000/10 for big tom

Big Tom's Macabre Tour was Fantastic

Our tour was super enjoyable and fun. Big Tom was a great story teller that clearly loves his job. I would highly recommend taking this tour! Thank you for a great night, Your Canadian Fans.

Macabre Krakow

An alternative and interesting way to experience Krakow Old Town after dark. Our guide, Iza, shared interesting and somewhat creepy details about Krakow’s killers, ghosts and other dark secrets. Highly recommended

Amazing tour! Nice atmosphere

It was very interesting tour for people who like to listen about scary stories and dark history of places. Highly recomend this tour and any other tour Walkative has to offer!

Macabre walking tour

Big Tom was our guide and he really made the tour enjoyable. He was really friendly and had a great sense of humour. Is clearly passionate about the city and his country

Fantastic Tour!

Very spooky and very fun! Jacek was an engaging storyteller and showed a darker history of Kraków that most would never hear about.

Spooky!

This tour was great! Jack was a fabulous guide and story teller - definitely recommend as something different to do with your evening. And if you're lucky enough to get the sun it's a beautiful walk too

Jack is the best

Tonight we finished a tour Macabre Krakow. The tour was conducted by Jack (yatzek?} The tour was fluid and fascinating and left a taste for more. My son and I highly recommend going on a tour with him. He conducts the tour with a lot of knowledge and passion for his work

Macabre Walk

My family and I enjoyed this walking tour with Damien who was very knowledgeable and engaged our interest as we walked around the old town. Lots of fascinating stories.

Spooky but exciting

We joined this tour after spending the morning with Jacek on the Jewish history tour. The story telling was great, his ability to make you wonder what was real and what was a tale was superb. Jacek really brought the stories to life and all while the sun set over a beautiful city. Would definitely recommend!

Make this one of your main walking tours

The macabre tour was my favourite walking tour in Krakow. Tomasz is a captivating storyteller which brought the stories to life and kept everyone entertained. The finale was a nice touch. Highly recommend!

Superb, fascinating, lively

Excellent tour. Macek is a top-notch tour guide, and he clearly has a passion for the subject matter. The tour is fun, informative, and fascinating. We were guided through some of Krakow's best-kept taboo secrets, some of which are hiding in plain sight. It's a great way to get out and have some fun in the evening and meet people. As a solo traveller, I would do this tour again, and I recommend it to anyone who is curious about it.

Horrifying good

Maciek was our guide and he told us fascinating stories, mindblowing facts and showed us details that often not even long time inhabitants of Krakow don't know. Macek himselfnis a great story teller. He knows how to make everything fascinating and interesting, knows everything and really takes care of the group (places to sit, photonspots etc.). I personally most liked the scary story of the Lady in black, ghost stories arenthe best. Thank you very much

Great fun and something different!

Whilst the sights were cool and the historical context for creepiness in abundance the TOUR GUIDE makes it special. Tomas thank you, you were fantastic and had surprises and enthusiasm for your subject. Highly recommend to do as something a bit different.

What an experience!

My sister and nephew went for this tour with Tomasz and we couldn´t be more happier with the outcoume. It was indeed a fantastic experience. Knowing all the macabre history of Krakow but mainly because we had Tomasz as our guide. He´s super joyful and an amazing storyteller who is passionate about what he does. I would book any tour with him again, for sure. Thanks for "hanging" my nephew on his 18th birthday, we had a blast! Wishing him all success. Thanks to Walkative for providing us such professionals.

Astonishing!

Macabre Kraków is one of the best tours I've ever attended before🔥 The tour itself is quite short, it lasts about an hour. But it's definitely not traditional, and that's why I highly recommend it. Especially if you love alternative ways of discovering a city. At this tour, you'll be told historical facts and city legends but from different perspective, in stories about both crimes and justice, and about scary city ghosts and dark magicians a little bit as well. Many thanks to our guide Jacek! You rock🤘

Excellent tour

We went on this tour and loved it. Dale our guide was an excellent storyteller. We highly recommend this tour or any other one with Dale

Bardzo interesująca

Wycieczka poprowadzona w miłej atmosferze, historie przedstawione w interesujący sposób - idealny do zapamiętania.

We really enjoyed this tour!

We recently went on a Walkative tour in Gdansk and thought we would book another one for Krakow. Our tour guide was called Damian, and we really enjoyed his lively story telling abilities. He made the tour really interesting and dark humoured. If you're in Krakow we can't recommend this tour enough!

Wonderful

Macabre tour was one of the highlights of our stay in Krakow. Jacek is great with storytelling, very well informed and also funny. We enjoyed every bit of the tour. Thanks!

Spooky and awesome

A must have tour for all lovers of creepy stories and historical facts. Our guide was very enthusiastic and friendly, making everyone feel welcomed. A great tour with lots of interesting information and material for further research, if you're into that kind of stuff. 10/10 would recommend!

Damian was amazing!

We really enjoyed this tour! Damian was a proper story teller, so he made this tour so interesting with all this stories and facts.

Big Tom Slays

homie had a lot of niche knowledge and w rizz :) hella enthusiastic! thanks bestie <333

Świetne przeżycie!

Naszym przewodnikiem był Jacek. Bardzo, ale to bardzo fajnie budował klimat grozy. Na trasie poznajemy nie tylko stare, krakowskie legendy o duchach, ale także miejskie legendy mordercach. Naprawdę intrygujące przeżycie a przewodnik bardzo charyzmatyczny.

Jack was great very informative

New all his history on subject great sense of humour my first time usuing but will certainly use again would be more than happy to have more tours with jack

Amazing

Jack was just amazing! The tour is not too long but extremely interesting.
