About

Every city has its dark secrets and Kraków is no exception. Come with us and we will tell you stories that will make your hair stand on end… 


During the walk through the streets of Old Town you will hear about Krakow’s Lady In Black and other ghosts and urban legends. You will find out about some of the instruments of torture used here in dark medieval times. Your blood will run cold when we will unveil the secrets around the executioner’s profession and you will have a chance to feel a hangman’s noose tightening around your neck. At the gates of a monastery you will hear a story straight from a Gothic romance — for forbidden love, there must be a severe punishment. And last but not least, you will hear the historically factual tales about brutal serial killers that terrorised Kraków in the 20th century. 


Join us… this time only if you dare!


On this 80 minutes’ FREE Walkative! TOUR you will see:



  • 20th century crime scenes

  • medieval punishment locations

  • a haunted palace

  • how executions were performed in the Middle Ages

  • and much more…!


Final point: Kanonicza Street

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!
