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!

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.

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.

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🤘
